    Description:
    The multimedia orientated blue Zire 71 is designed for what Palm calls "youthful professionals.” The Palm Zire 71 includes the slider first found in the Tungsten T that reveals and activates the digital camera. It also features a 320 x 320 display with 65,000 colors.

    One of the four application buttons on the front of the Zire 71 handheld accesses Palm's photo application for organizing and managing digital images on the handheld. The company said users can assemble photo albums, beam images to friends, and move pictures to and from an expansion card.

    Other new Zire handheld features include the same 144MHz Texas Instruments OMAP310 processor and 5-way navigation found in the Tungsten T with an all-new joystick-like button for one-handed operation.

    For listening to music files and playing movie trailers, the Zire 71 handheld ships with RealNetworks' RealOne Mobile Player and Kinoma Player and Producer. MP3 or RealAudio files stored on an expansion card can be heard through the handheld's new built-in speaker, or via the stereo headphone jack located at the top of the device. This jack accepts standard headphone plugs and provides stereo sound quality. With RealNetworks' RealOne Mobile Player software, users can create and manage play lists, as well as run music in the background while using most other built-in Palm applications.

    Like the Tungsten C, the Zire 71 runs Palm OS 5.2.1. The unit measures 4.5 x 5.3 x 2.9 inches and is .67 inches thick. It weighs 5.3 ounces. The Zire 71's includes a rechargeable 900 mAh lithium ion battery that is not user replaceable. It specs out to offer about a week of use and five hours of MP3 playing.
