| 105390 | 2002-12-12 08:35:00 | I am looking at buying a Palm Zire and wanted to know if it can be used as a MP3 player. Any comments greatly appreciated Thanks Donald M |

Even if it could accommodate an MP3 player application in ROM, you could only store 2 minutes of music, assuming you had no other data. As a rule of thumb, count on 1 Mb of RAM/Card storage for every minute of music, at minimum quality. Palm OS is highly efficient, but they don't have much on-board memory, for that very reason. You need to look at the Pocket PC handhelds for storage (mine has 320 Mb of memory) and MP3 players (its a native function in the Windows 2002 OS, which has Media Player incorporated) |

I would choose one wisely, the software for my Philips Rush seems to have packed a sad and I can't be arsed to fix it. robo. |
