Hey peeps,

This is my first post in this forum, and it is pretty much my first time viewing this site. Suffice to say its tough to find knowledgeble people about this stuff, so thank God for the net..

Anyway, I purchased the zire71 a couple days ago. To make it short, I'm pretty much blown away. The thing is damned nice. Except for a few minor annoyances, its extremely well made.

Anyway, quick question. ANyone know of some nice progs/games/whatever that make good use of the processor and PalmOS5? Most everything I find seems to be made with the older palms in mind. I want to see what this thing can really do. Also, what the word on bluetooth/Wifi SD cards? And one more thing.. is it possible to browse the web with this thing thru the cradle, connected to a computer with cable internet access?

Thanks much

RealOne Mobile Player, Kinoma Player and AudiblePlayer should take advantage of the processor.

Bluetooth cards cannot be used with the Tungsten C because there are no drivers for Palm OS 5 yet. SanDisk is making an 802.11b Secure Digital card using technology from SyChip. It is not available yet.

You can connect to the internet through a serial cradle with Mocha PPP or through a USB cradle with Softick PPP. I'm not sure if these programs work with Palm OS 5 though.
