Yawn. Z-z-z-z. With 160×160 res, the $149 Palm Zire 31 from PalmOne is most likely a boring loser for the e-book minded. Far better to shop a little more carefully and scare up a Sony Clie on sale for $100 with a 320×320 display. The good news is that as a color machine, the Zire most likely can work with subpixel font rendering technology–perhaps the kind used with Mobipocket.
