  • Meet the Palm Z22 organizer. Yes, a handheld organizer sounds serious. But it's actually a lot of fun. In fact, you can get started in just a few simple steps. Pick it up. It's small and light. Turn it on. There's a bright color screen. Check it out. You can store appointments, phone numbers, to-do lists, and photos. The Palm Z22 organizer holds life's details and lets you find it all fast. Take it wherever life takes you, then get home and save everything to your computer with one tap (when used with included synchronization software). It was designed by the makers of the original Palm Pilot specifically for people who haven't seen what a handheld organizer can do. Everything is super simple. A touch of a button brings up your appointments, addresses, and more. The Palm Z22 organizer even comes with an easy three-step set-up poster to get you up and running. You'll notice that the Z22 has a bright color screen. Names and addresses are easy to read, appointments can be color-coded, and photos (yes, you can even carry your photos!) come to life. The main thing, though, is organization. You can carry years of appointments, thousands of addresses, hundreds of photos, your to-do lists, a note pad in a pocket-size unit that weighs about 3 ounces. Once you put information into the Palm Z22 organizer, you can rest assured it'll stay there. Even if you forget to recharge and the power runs out. What's more, you can save everything to your computer. Compatible with thousands of optional Palm application software that can be preloaded in your PC and synched to your Z22

    If you're still using a paper planner, maybe it's time to catch up with technology and upgrade to the affordable and easy-to-use Palm Z22 handheld. It enables you to keep your entire day-to-day schedule and contact information at hand and in your pocket--no more flipping through multiple pages, looking for scraps of paper or keeping track of to-do lists. And you won't have to enter the same thing twice--once on the computer and once in your planner, as you can easily make updates on your computer and synchronize data to the Palm Z22 in just a minute or two.

    This handheld features a 32 MB of flash memory (20 MB accessible for file and software storage), Palm OS 5.4 (Garnet), a fast 200 MHz ARM-based processor, and an internal rechargeable battery (that can be charged via the included AC adapter or via the USB cable connected to your PC).

    Weighing just over 3 ounces and about the same size as a deck of playing cards, the Palm Z22 is compact and stylish with a white front and translucent blue backing. Small enough to fit into any purse, backpack or back pocket, it boasts a bright, 160 x 160-pixel color touchscreen display, which provides easy readability of names, addresses, and appointments. You can even color-code appointments for improved organization, and view and carry pictures of friends and family wherever you go.

    Operating System and Software
    The installed Palm OS 5.4 uses the intuitive and easy-to-learn Graffiti 2 writing software to input data into the handheld (as well as an on-screen keyboard). Windows users can synchronize their calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes with Microsoft Outlook. The Palm OS features the following organizer applications:

    • Contacts: Lets you store several addresses for each contact, and with new fields for more phone numbers, multiple e-mail addresses, instant messenger IDs, and Web sites.
    • Calendar: Use the new Agenda view to see upcoming calendar events, tasks due, and important e-mail, and color-code your events to provide an easy way to reference your calendar in the Agenda, Day, Week, and Month views. Take more notes, or synchronize more details from your desktop, in the larger Memos and Notes fields.
    • Tasks: Use tasks with alarms and repeating tasks to set reminders for important commients.
    It also includes AddIt, a program that includes a variety of applications such as CheckSplit, Chess, Carb Counter and Solitaire. The bonus software CD-ROM has an eBook reader with three books and a dictionary, the powerOne Calculator (perfect for basic and advanced mathematics), and SplashShopper (a helpful shopping list application).

    Compatibility
    The Palm Z22 is compatible with PCs running Windows Windows 2000 (SP4) and XP (Outlook synchronization requires MS Outlook 2000, 2002, or 2003; sold separately), and with Macs running Mac OS 10.2.8 to 10.4.

    What's in the Box
    Palm Z22 handheld, USB sync cable, power adapter, 3-step setup poster, Graffiti 2 sticker, Software Install CD-ROM with Palm Desktop, Tutorial, Getting Started Guide, User Guide, and bonus software.

    Customer Reviews:
  • Nice simple PDA
    After owning a higher end iPAQ and not using most of its functions, I appreciate the simplicity and size of the Z22.

    For display purposes, I would suggest changing the bold setting to normal. Much more text fits on the screen and it is still readible.

    Battery life is great assuming you don't use alarms.

    Pointing accuracy with the stylus is not perfectly accurate but it is good enough.

    I'd recommend getting the Air Case. Looks a bit cheap when it arrives but works very well.

  • GREAT!!! even for the not so Tech. Savvy
    I have had this handy little device for well over a year and shes still tickin. I keep everthing in it from Doctor appts to bill due dates, schools schedules... it even offers password protection so that you can keep all of your most important info safe and secure. Even if it breaks tomorrow (I hope not but... if it does) I would purchase another right away, no questions asked =0)

  • Short Life
    My third Z22 just quit. Lasted longer this time, nearly 7months. The first two lasted just 4 months each. When they work, they are just the answer for me. However, I'm through totally with any thing Palm.

  • sloppy touch screen limits effectiveness
    This is my third Palm that I have owned. The first one (purchased as a refurbished unit) lasted me over a year, and I bought this one when I temporarily lost my Palm m125. Color is a nice addition. I color-code everyone's schedule and then do a screen-capture to print out our weekly schedule in block format (it would be nice if the desktop program did this--it only prints weekly schedules in list format). While I like the color screen, I find it very hard to use Graffiti writing on this unit (and I prefer the old version of Graffiti over the new). There are places on my screen where taps or writing are "shifted." For instance, I'll be drawing straight, horizontal lines in the notepad application, and the lines will suddenly curve down as I approach the right side of the screen. I've also had to learn how to offset taps when using buttons in the calendar application. For text input, it is almost impossible to write a lower-case "h." I either get "n" or nothing. I have seen similar issues listed on other websites that review PDAs, so I don't think these issues are unique to my unit. It's a shame that such an affordable unit that does everything I need is so hard to use.

  • Working mom
    I love the Palm Z22! I am a full time working mom, constantly trying to juggle a very busy schedule. I use to carry a bulky daily organizer. This is so much better! It has been a life saver. It is very easy to use. My favortie part is the Splash Shopper. Brilliant! When I make a quick stop at the store, I always have my shopping list with me. Then, to be able to color coordinate the schedule so I know at a glance what is going on each day- wonderful! I cannot recommend this highly enough.
