The Zircon is also the first non-Palm-branded Palm OS device to offer a 5-way navigation switch. However, it only has two application buttons, but does include the common mobile phone Talk and End/Clear buttons. It also includes a button for the included camera. The camera is built into the back of the device, although it is not very powerful at only 352 x 288 resolution. The removable 900 mAh Lithium Ion Polymer battery is rated for 2 hours talk time or 100 hours standby.
No details were disclosed on when the Zircon may be available, or for how much. It should be available first in the Asian market, with Europe coming in Quarter 3. American availability is not known.
