Palm Z22

This is an interesting product as it is right at the low end of electronic personal organizers but is very well made. Most people are now using their mobile phones for organizing themselves as mobiles have come on a long way in the last few years. I was bought a Palm Z22 by my boss so that I could keep myself organized and get everything done as it needed to be done. For the first few months, I was eager to use it. A few years ago I had a Handspring Visor and thought it was the coolest tool. Brushed metal casing, large screen, responsive and easy to use.

It has all the usual creature comforts of a PDA offering phonebooks/address books various listing tools. But to no ...  Read the complete review

This is a pretty old device by todays standards, but worth mentioning that it could well have a place in your home, or at least your kids pocket. My two wanted mobile phones when they were as young as five years old. They had seen Daddy using his, listening to music, clicking buttons, you know how it is. The hard decision for parents is at what age does your child need a mobile phone. To re-phrase that, at what age is it safe to give them a mobile phone?
