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). The makers of the original Palm Pilot specifically for people who haven't seen what a handheld organizer can do designed it. 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 pocketsize 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.

This is my second Z22. I guess I dropped the first one once too often (oops!). This one came with a silicone case to protect it from my lack of dexterity. Seriously, I like this product. It's easy to use and very versatile. Hopefully I won't need to buy a third one!

I had one of these PDA's and lost it. I wanted to replace it and looked it up on your site. When I saw the price I almost fainted. I live in Panama and decided to go shopping here. I got one for 90.00 + sales tax. That included the cables, the stylus, and the plastic protector. Why is it so much more expensive on the internet?

I love, love, love my Z22! I just needed a basic PDA that would keep track of my schedule, contact info, etc. The Z22 is perfect for that! I can make to do lists and check things off as I complete them. I can keep track of addresses, phone numbers, birthdays, and any other information that I need to remember but usually forget. With two children, our schedule can get pretty crazy. In the calendar, you can assign different colors to different people (or however you want to assign them) and with just a quick glance at your calendar, you know who has something scheduled on a certain day. With the Mobile DB program that comes with the Z22, you can make all kinds of lists (it comes with a lot of lists--some that I use and some that I don't). I have a list to keep track of my baby's milestones and one to keep track of things I have loaned out to people. It's a really neat program and you can customize each list to meet your needs. The Z22 also comes with the SplashShopper program, which has different lists, but I use it mostly for the grocery list. It has loads of items pre-programmed in, and you can add your own. You check things off to add them to your "Need" list and then you check them off as you pick them up at the store. It can track prices at multiple stores and it also has a place to check if you have a coupon (so you don't forget it)! You can also beam your shopping list to someone else.

I have not yet had any problems with my Z22 and I've had it for a couple of months. My ONLY complaint so far is that the alarm is not loud enough for me to hear it unless I have it right by me. Other than that, I am very satisfied and would recommend this product to anyone who just wants to get organized!

I got the Palm Z22 as a gift. I can only say "THANK GOD I DIDN'T WASTE MY MONEY ON IT" I have Windows Vista 64 bit and Palm OS does not work with the 64 only the 32. I spent wasted hours trying to find a solution to the problem, to no avail! Palm does warn you it will not work....but in the super fine print! If you go to the Palm website, it tells you that no program to come to work with the 64.
