| charityangela's Full Review: Palm Zire™ 71 Handheld |
The Zire 71 could very well be the best purchase I've ever made in my life. I've had pda's before, but after a few months of use I found them to be more work than they're worth. For instance changing my handwriting style to get the pda to recognize it was a problem for me. The 71 on the other hand, has great handwriting recognition. And with the notepad, I can scrawl my own note in my own handwriting when I'm in a hurry. I use the 71 for everything. I'm a teacher and use it as my gradebook. This is huge for me. I'm not always in the same room so I wouldn't otherwise have access to a computer gradebook. And I can email the kids their grades with a quick tap of the screen. I take pictures for my school website (the kids love to get posted), it's my notepad (no more sticky notes!), my datebook, my alarm clock, my shopping list, you name it. Ah, and it makes me look attentive during long staff meetings when I'm actually playing a game :)
