I have a Zire 71, a few years old now, ( I believe I paid $ 89.00) I sync with iBook and via.mac also with my powerbook. It works well. Haven't had any trouble. It does have a camera, though, which I use when i travel to snap pictures of the food i eat, the wine I drink, the different shapes of glasses and table decor etc , the different displays in windows if I am in the buying mood for comparison shopping and usually take pictures of all the flight attendants, hotel personnel and such , which all comes in handy after coming home to remember and refer to things and persons. When they are really nice I might send a picture along with a commendation to their superior. I at least tell people that I shall always remember their kindness when I look at their photo. It works wonders. Marta
