Summary: not a great item
Review: While the Zire 21 is economical if you're looking for just the basics, the annoyances of it far outweight the money you save. The lack of a back light is a bit annoying. More of a hassel are the technical glitches and problems that I frequently have. Mine has a habit of constantly resetting itself and erasing all the information stored in it and going back to blank factory settings. A hotsync restores the info, but it's a pain if you are out during the day and need your date book or address book then.

Summary: Sometimes the basics are the best
Review: Zire 21 is a terrific device for those of us who need a notepad, calendar and our address book... but not much else. After three years or so with a fancy VIIx, I stepped back to the Zire 21. Oh Joy. Simplicity and functionality again.My Palm Zire 21 is used in conjunction with an iBook and a DotMac account. Everything works together without incident. By analogy: I am a yacht captain and see the notebook as the "yacht" and the Palm as the "dinghy." Without a good dinghy, one cannot get ashore to play.
