# My new toy

I love getting new pieces of electronics. It's like Christmas; the sweet smell of virgin circuit boards filling your nostrils. Last week, I went and bought myself a [Palm Zire 72](http://www.palmone.com/us/products/handhelds/zire72/) as an upgrade from my [Zire 71](http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/zire-71-review.html). Coincidentally, I'm also looking to sell my Zire 71. [Let me know](modules.php?name=Email&subject=Zire+71) if you're interested ;)   
  
The Zire 72 improves on the Zire 71 in just about every conceivable way: It has has more memory (16 -> 32 Mb), faster processor (144 Mhz OMAP -> 312 MHz XScale), better camera (now 1.2 MegaPixels), and best of all Bluetooth wireless capabilities.
