Phew, so many things happened in the past couple of weeks. Almost overwhelmed with work, the new iMac G5 was released, Malaysia’s former DPM was released, school kids were taken hostage, an Australian embassy was bombed, I did 3 weeks of in-camp NS and….my trusty Zire71 suddenly died on me! 🙁

Yes, yes the death of my old Palm probably pales in significance compared to everything else that’s happened in the world, but hey it’s really important to ME because I’m rather lost without it (having been a Palm-toter since my university days, back then with the classic Palm III). So what did I get as a replacement? The Zire 72 of course! It’s got Bluetoothm a 1.2 Megapixel digital camera, digital voice recorder and even captures videos … so what’s not to like? Just got it yesterday, so I’m still learning more about it. So far, I really like the more ergonomic design (MUCH easier to hold than my slippery old Zire 71) and updated PIM applications, especially the Contact application’s ability to insert a snapped photo directly into an address book entry.

Will update as I find out more about my new tool!
