Brighthand has got the first hands-on reviews of the Palm Zire 71 and Tungsten|C models. The Zire 71 runs OS 5.1, meaning that it handles MP3 and other media content as well as any other PDA. It also has an included 640×480 camera hidden on the back — the first PDA with integrated digital camera under $300. The Tungsten|C (pictured, right) is the first Palm OS machine to come with 64 megs of RAM and integrated 802.11b wireless communication. It also does away with the writing area and replaces it with a thumb keyboard that should appeal to more business users familiar with the Blackberry. transflective color screens on both new units means great color and good battery life. The Tungsten|C retails for $500.
