Palm Zire 72 Product Features
Building on the success of PalmOne's Zire 71, the Zire 72 is the
first Palm-based handheld that can capture digital video with sound
and shoot digital still photos. This multimedia PDA also features
bright 320 x 320-pixel color screen for optimal playback of video
and photos as well as voice recording capability and an MP3 player
for listening to your own soundtrack. Other features include
Bluetooth wireless connectivity, a 32 MB memory, Secure Digital card
expansion, and a fast 312 Mhz Intel PXA270 processor. And, of
course, the Zire 72 features Palm's suite of information management
applications and the ability to edit Word- and Excel-compatible
files and synchronize with Microsoft Outlook (Windows only).

The Zire 72 offers the following improvements to the Zire 71:
* 1-megapixel image resolution (1280 x 960 pixels); the Zire 71 had
a maximum 640 x 480 resolution.
* 32 MB of memory (24.7 MB user available); the Zire 71 had only a
16 MB memory
* Video capture with sound; the Zire 71 only shot still images.
* Digital zoom for closer image capture and in-handheld editing.
* Voice recording capability.
* Wireless Bluetooth connectivity (the Zire 71 connected to your PC
only via the HotSync cable)
* At 4.8 ounces, it's 10-percent less weighty than the 5.3-ounce
Zire 71.

Built-in Camera
The back of the Zire 72 holds the built-in still and video camera,
which does not require you to slide the back of the PDA to activate
it (like the Zire 71 did). You can shoot video with sound turned on
or off at 320 x 240 pixel resolution and 15 frames per second. Just
use the handheld screen to frame the video, tap the "record" button
on the display, then save your video to an optional expansion card
after tapping the "stop" button.
For still photography, it features a 1.2-megapixel CMOS sensor with
a fixed focus range of about five feet and a 2x digital zoom. It
captures up to 1280 x 960 pixel images, as well as 640 x 480, 320 x
240, and 160 x 120 resolution modes. The camera also offers such
customized image setting controls as white balance, brightness,
saturation, contrast, and sharpness. You can also add date stamp or
effects like sepia, black and white, and blue.
Audio
The included RealPlayer for Palm OS enables you to listen to MP3
music files stored on optional expansion cards via the built-in
speaker on the Zire 72 or, for stereo sound, using optional stereo
headphones or ear buds.
With the built-in digital voice recorder, you can create voice
memos, then synchronize them to your desktop PC and email them to
friends and colleagues.
