I do not know where the author got his information on the Zire 31 but there is definatly a few errors. The Zire31 is more than capable of playing back videos of many different formats, Divx, Xvid, etc. The playback quality really depends on the size of it and sound, playing a 640x480 48 megabyte animation file at full speed(29-30fps)is handled quite well with the TCPMP player. How ever playing back a file like that with stereo sound is not handled very well.


Using a program like Virtual Dub, taking that 48 meg file and re-sizing to 320x240, 24 kBit/s 22,050 Hz mono sound, encoding bitrate at 768 kbps, in divx using its portable profile there are no problems playing it back with sound on the Zire31. As well as getting the file down to 5.16 MB.


So don't beleve all that you read, also I would be willing to bet you can get the SDIO wireless card from PalmOne to work on the Zire31's.
