Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-27 Summary: Fantastic gizmo! ... The wonder of what engineers can fit into a small package! The Zire 31 already has a great selection of programs: memo, Real Player, notes, calendar, etc., but there is a TON of third-party software available as well: Adobe Reader for Palm, editors (and doc readers) like CardTXT, pedit, etc. I spent a lot of fun-filled exploratory time getting this device loaded with the programs that my wife needs for her teaching/studies. A Palm PDA such as this sure beats having to carry around a lap-top. Having an expansion-card ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-09-17 Summary: Great for the Price! ... The PalmOne Zire 31 is great for the person who doesn't want a large planner to carry around. I use mine everyday both as a student and for work so it serves it's purpose. The software is a bit outdated and the memory space is small compared to the newer technology but if you're only using it for everyday meetings, assignments, and schedules; there is plenty of space. I actually have never tried playing music on it but I'm sure an IPOD or IPhone would be much better. All in all, it serves it's purpose and the price ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-09-07 Summary: Great handheld ... This is a great product. I upgraded from the Zire 21 for two reasons: I wanted a backlit screen and I wanted more memory. The 31 has the backlit color screen, which makes it easier to see and gives more options in customizing screen setups in my programs. I also displays photos very well. The card slot provides the extra memory I needed, which is what I think makes it a better product that the Zire 22 (and was the deciding point for my choosing this one over the 22). The price was the reason I chose this over the Tungsten, ...more

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-03-11 Summary: No vista compatibility ... The fact that it doesn't work with Vista is annoying. I purchased it three years ago. It has survived multiple drops, so I think it is pretty durable. Palm does not keep its software up to date. I still use it daily. I has great applications.

to...you get the idea. And because Amazon is sooooo huuuuuuuge, quite often you'll get great deals and savings beyond other stores! Which brings me to my next point:
Step 1 - Deals of the Day
Amazon.com can afford to sell items at discounts more huge than 3 circus elephants at times. They provide a neat direct path to them via their
Click on the above link now - you'll see all the current deals (browsable by category as well!). Sometimes you'll see hefty rebates offered (ie, one time I discovered that one could get cash back when one bought qualifying Canon digital SLR cameras or lenses. Double or triple the rebate amounts on each item--for totals of up to $600 or more--when you buy two, three, or more qualifying items).
Now, I don't know about you, but if I was in the market for that particular product, it would certainly be most appealing!
What else can you do with Amazon.com? Well, how about:
Step 2 - Gift eCards
Now that you see what Amazon.com has to offer (so much more than books!), you can see the benefits and ease it can deliver to folks online. So why not take even more advantage of that...send an Amazon.com gift certificate via an eCard to your friends and family!
It sure makes gift-giving a lot easier, let me tell you!
Finally, let's close this section with one
of my favorite Amazon.com benefits - if you
order over $25 worth of books and such, you're
often eligible for
