Palm has finally released a true Personal Digital Assistant returning to their core business and the PDA is called a Palm Z22 Handheld. Palm has always been great at this type of product but has strayed over the last few years.

For under $100, the Palm Z22 delivers what you would expect for an entry level PDA. If you’re not sure a PDA would work for you, the price is right to test a true PDA. This Palm does not come with “advanced” features such as wireless (802.11a/b/g or bluetooth), larger or better display, ability to extend memory and hifi quality audio (hence “entry level PDA”).

$94.05 – Amazon.com
You always have to check shipping though!

Grrr baby grrr… the long awaited Video iPod has been released along with a new version of iTunes. Sporting the ability to hold 15,000 songs, 25,000 photos or 150 hours of video on the 60GB version. With all this storage space and a 320×240-pixel 2.5″ QVGA color display you would expect a much larger iPod but at only .43″ deep, 2.4″ wide and 4.1″ tall, you’ll hardly notice you are carrying Apple’s latest hit.
