Palm Z22 Handheld

Pros: Compact size, bright backlighting and auto shutoff
Cons: no attached protective cover

My oldest son started high school this year and he asked if he could have PDA of his own to help him organize his life. I told him that I would have to do some checking to see if I could find a decent PDA that wasn't a lot of money. I was shopping ...

Pros: Easy to work, lightweight
Cons: Nothing I have found

I have never been a very organized person when it comes to addresses, birthdays or appointments. I decided that at my age it was finally time for me to get organized, since my memory tends to leave me every now and again. I knew that I wanted a PDA, ...

Pros: Durable, easy to use, quite flexible and powerful, price is right
Cons: Warranty sucks, no expansion capability, batteries are sealed inside

Introduction Back in the early 1980's, I recall discussing Moore's law. We had determined that by around 2005, people would have the power of some of the most expensive workstation and mainframe computers in something about the size of a pocket ...

Pros: Small, light, looks cool, non-volatile memory, very cheap.
Cons: This version of PalmOS removes important options.

This little beauty has really been marketed as a palm pilot for the novice PDA user: something simple enough not to scare your grandma and easy enough to wean Luddites from their sticky notes. I don't fit in that demographic, but I love this PDA for its ...

Pros: Easy to use, light weight decent price
Cons: Pictures aren't as clear as I feel they should be.

Since receiving this Z22 Palm Pilot last year as a Christmas gift I have never missed an appointment! It even has a handy reminder alarm that you can set! It holds all my favorite games, and even my pictures. When adding friends and family to your ...

Pros: Cheap, useful.
Cons:

Must choose between Outlook and Palm synchronization. Typing is a hassle. Not a comprehensive solution.

Like many people, I have a lot to get done in a limited amount of time during my day. I've tried lists, paper planners, desk reorganization, color-coding, etc. in order to keep myself on track. Sooner or later, though, I become overwhelmed or don't use ...

Pros: Small and light, USB, international charger, different plugs for different countries, free plastic covers.
Cons: Display is too low resolution, loading photos complicated, price too high, looks like ipod

I got this as a backup to my TX which I lost. This was a special promotional package it seems because I got 2 colored plastic rubber covers and a set of international AC plug adaptors for same price of $99. The AC adaptor, charger now supports ...

Pros: Small, lightweight, easy to use, syncs easily w/Mac, inexpensive
Cons: Everything has to look like an iPod now? Also cases, screen protectors

When I went shopping and ultimately purchased the Palm z22, I was replacing a Handspring Visor Neo that I had had since 2001. It was definitely time for an upgrade. But I did not need a lot of features -- I didn't need to access the Internet, I didn't ...

Pros: Lightweight, Shortcut buttons, 5-way Navigator, Big(ger) reset button
Cons: Freezes occassionally if you 'turn off & lock'

I was thinking over the last year about an organizer. I go to school, and using an agenda was alright, but I don't think i'd take it with me to an outing to remember a friend's birthday. Or play a game. Or remember all my homework, be able to categorize, ...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Cheaply built; cheap looking; slow processor; little RAM; very poor non-color screen; terrible

The Palm Z22 is cheap, and for a good reason: it's a very cheaply made PDA with a processor supplied by a third-world manufacturer. Its memory (about 18MB actually accessible to the end user) is also very slow, and cannot be expanded. But, you say, ...

Pros: Small, handy to hold addresses and e-mails.
Cons: Too hard to write things out.

My husband bought me this Palm Z22 as a Christmas gift, a year and a half ago. I love that it was so small and functional. The ability of putting all my address and e-mails in there was a huge plus. It’s great to be able to just plug it into my home ...

Pros: Low cost, light
Cons: hard to replace battery, display not visible in sunlight.

Palm has finally returned to their roots and released a PDA. Not a wannabe phone/walkman/portable dvd/game console/wireless web browser/photo album/book. It's an actual, honest to God, Personal Digital Assistant. Yes, it can do some of those other ...

Pros: Easy to use, responds quickly, bright screen and an amazing amount of FREE software.
Cons: I wish a protective case could be included.

My first pda was one of the original palms made by US Robotics who subsequently sold the division to Palm or 3Com (I forget). So here's the 411 or skinny, depending on your age, on this unit. It is very nice. This is NOT a do all unit. It is very basic ...

Pros: Relatively easy to use, has a great calendar function.
Cons: Finding one that works from the getgo.

I am not a tech/gadget minded person, so I fit the profile of the target consumer for the Z22 perfectly. I have always been dependent on my big Franklin planner to keep myself quasi-organized and after researching different devices, I decided the Z22 ...

Pros: Easy to use and navigate around. Crazy Daisy game was cute.
Cons: Extremely poor screen quality and color. I also hated the cheap plastic stylus.

I purchased this palm after extensive thought. I'm a stay at home mom (with 3 kids) and I use a paper organizer for everything. So with school, field trips, dr appts, dentist appts, being absentminded to begin with, my notes were going missing and I ...
