Palmone zire 72s tiene wifi

A new Bluetooth icon is available in the launcher, which acts as a shortcut to the Bluetooth preferences and connection controls. A small Bluetooth logo now appears beside the battery meter in the main launcher when Bluetooth is turned on. Audio The Zire 72 has a rear mounted speaker in the metal mesh below the camera lens.

The speaker is quite loud and mp3's and voice memos sound very clear, though most will opt for using headphones not included for listening to music. For listening to music files, the Zire 72 ships with the RealOne player. The microphone is also hidden behind the rear grill, which is used for the voice and movie recorder. Even with the updated audio and speaker capabilities, palmOne is still using the same DateBook alarm sounds that debuted on the original Pilot While there are many third party replacements, these are so very overdue for an update!

Battery Life The 72 has a mAh rechargeable lithium ion battery. For continuous MP3 playing, the battery life will be about five hours. I found I was able to get about 5 hours off of a full charge, with heavy camera and bluetooth use. More typical use may yield a longer battery life. First of all you may be confused at first because all of the names have changed. The changes were made based on user feedback and research and also to more closely resemble Microsoft Outlook.

Calendar Calendar sports a redesigned Agenda View that lists your most recent upcoming appointments, tasks due and email. New on the 72 is the ability to select a background image for the agenda view.

It can use any of the photos taken with the camera or added to the handheld. You can now assign colors to different categories, appointment location details and a new year view.

Palm also made it possible to have events spanning midnight, separate calendar support and the ability to beam multiple appointments and categories.

Contacts Contacts has a number of visual and structural improvements. You can now have multiple contact addresses, such as work, home, other. The are new contact fields for more phone numbers, email addresses, website and instant messaging accounts.

There are now nine custom fields and a new birthday field, that will keep track and remind you before an approaching birthday Palm calls this the marriage saving feature.

The Zire 72 also adds the ability to assign a picture to a contact taken with the camera. Memos and Tasks Many will rejoice that you can now have memos larger than 4k, the new app has a 32k maximum memo size. They have also added repeating tasks and new views for To Do items. The main application launcher also shares the new ability to add a background image behind the program icons.

You can select a camera image, or select any image file from the Media application. There is a build in control to fade an image for better blending visibility. One the desktop side of things, palmOne includes their Quick Install program for Windows. Quick Install simplifies installing programs and converting documents and photos for handheld use. Users simply drag zip files, prc application files, photos, videos and even MS office files into the app and it will preform the necessary conversion and install the the files on the next hotsync.

Docs to Go 6 supports native Microsoft Word and Excel files, no conversion is necessary. You can use files received from Email, Bluetooth or and SD card. The Zire 72 includes Web Pro v3. Web Pro is a proxy and proxyless web browser.

It does a good job of rendering most websites and seems a bit faster than its earlier versions. Conclusion The Zire 72 is a fun excellent multimedia machine and power organizer with a great screen. It improves upon and corrects a number of issues and shortcomings with the Zire The new top of the line Zire has a lot to offer hardware wise with an excellent balance of quality software.

Comments Closed This article is no longer accepting new comments. RE: Nice Device! The important question for me, is whether they have fixed the bugs in the datamanager patch. Can anyone that has one of these install DateBk5 and create an appointment, is there a delay, is there clicking? Isn't this fixed in the DB5 5. I am still waiting for the upgrade of my T C Nick RE: Nice Device! Do not want to stray too far off topic but definitely still there on my T3. My understanding is that the issues have nothing to do with DB5 and that all third-party calendar apps experience the same issues including Agendus.

Additionally, the DB5 yahoo group continues to have regular posts about this. CESD has stated the solution must come from PalmOne and the only workaround that he has been able to propose involves masking the datamanager and returning to the legacy databases. Arguably, this is a concern for users and potential users of the 2 new models because if the bugs have not been resolved then a much broader range of users will be effected when using third-party PIM replacements.

So does anyone have an answer to the original question? I goofed and did not save copies of AddressDB. George RE: Nice Device! I was wondering if anyone has a compatible USB inf file, as the one the CD that came with my zire refuses to install correctly on my system. I bought the zire two days ago and I have yet to perform a working hot synch. I've already contacted the tech support at palmone. The emails I've received and sent have added up to 9 so far I've so far reinstalled, double-checked my ports, settings, etc.

Looks like I'll get the Zodiac 2. On the blue one the blue scratches off I may have just found a replacement for my broken T E!

RE: Universal Connector? What the heck? My 71 has the UC. The 72 doesn't. At least I don't see the notches. That's a definite deal breaker for me. Still, the Zire feels sturdy in your hands, and it's compact and light 4. The Zire sports a beautiful, xpixel, transflective 65,color display. Just beneath the screen lies the five-way directional keypad with a center select button and four shortcut keys to the Calendar and Contacts apps, as well as the camera and the RealOne audio player; you can, however, customize these shortcut controls to launch different apps.

Though the design isn't anything revolutionary, we felt comfortable using the device one-handed. Take cover. Protect your Zire with the included carrying case.

Whistle while you work: Carry MP3s on a memory card. The very first thing I noticed about the Zire 72 after freeing it from its blister-pack was the overall design changes compared to the Zire Gone is the large, rounded case resembling the entry-level Zire models. The 72 is slimmer, sleeker, and has gotten a brilliantly eye-catching redesign.

While still following somewhat the silver and blue color pattern of its predecessor, the 72 has altered both the colors and design to great effect.

The plasticy sky-blue of the 71 has been been replaced by a truly gorgeous metalic royal blue that is a perfect example of my all-time favorite color. The smudgy chrome-colored plastic that marred the back of the 71 has been reduced and replaced with a plastic less apt to take fingerprints, though it still suffers from it a little.

To summarize, the Zire 72 is very, very pretty. The barrel has a textured non-slip grip, and is all cast in a single piece with nothing to unscrew.

PalmOne has finally woken up and made it possible to hit the reset button with the stylus tip, elimainating the tedious twist-twist-flip-poke-flip-reassemble juggling act of a soft reset.

Hurrah for PalmOne! It only took them three years. The barrel of the stylus is the same size as the one used in the PalmOne Tungsten line, and PalmOne will sell replacement styluses that work on the 72 or any of the Tungstens, needing only a replacement quill which will be included with the styluses.

Also it is smallish, and somewhat hard to press due to its size and flatness. I still miss the power button of my old old old old Palm m, with its good placement, distinctive click, and good key travel.

The SD slot is basically the same as on most PalmOne models. In the top left corner of the case, sharing space with the silkscreened PalmOne logo, is a tiny crystal clear bit of plastic. Whenever the 72 is connected to an external AC power adapter, this will light up green.

While this is a nice thought that has been overlooked in recent PalmOne models, it would be nicer if the light changed colors—amber, say, to indicate charging, and green to represent a full charge. The LED also flashes to notify the user of alarms. The left side of the 72 is featureless save for the voice recorder button. By default, pressing this turns the Zire on and brings up the voice notes program. At that point, pressing and holding it will record a note, and releasing it stops the recording.

The button is well-placed and responsive, the recording of decent quality, and the whole system easy to use. While almost all handhelds have a 5-way directional pad, the 71 had a 5-way miniature joystick. The joystick ended up being less comfortable for non-gaming use than a traditional pad, as well as being easily activated when bumped.

All in all the pad on the 72 is good, though not great—it could use a little more key travel and tactile response, particularly in the Up, Left, and Right directions.

The Action button is seperate from the directional ring, and is good enough for its job. The front application buttons are a tiny bit mixed. As you may notice, the left two are by default mapped to the usual Calender and Contacts applications, however the two buttons on the right launch the Camera applet, and RealOne Mobile Player. The bottom of the Zire 72 is nothing surprising, merely disappointing.

For shame, PalmOne. For the amount of money that people are paying for the 72, they deserve to be able to use the existing base of PUC cradles, cables, and peripherals. On the back of the case, at the top, the plastic casing gives way to something a little unusual—aluminum mesh.

Yes, you heard me. The quite-rigid mesh covers the top rear of the case, surrounding the camera lens, and houses both the internal speaker and the microphone. The camera lens itself bears no focal length information, so one can only guess at the ideal range, which I would put at about 5 feet.
