===Music, images, and video=== An [[MP3]] music player is included in the system's applications, and allows the creation of custom playlists using drag-and-dropping of files. MP3 music files can be played from either SD slot, or the internal memory of the device. MP3 files can also be used as alarms, along with conventional Palm OS alarms. Photos ([[JPEG]] or [[Portable Network Graphics|PNG]] format) could be downloaded to the device using the Palm Desktop software or loaded onto [[SD card]]s, and could be shared and made into a slideshow (with background music) on the device. The bundled video player on the device, Kinoma, would only play videos in a proprietary format, converted using the Kinoma Producer software (which supported conversion of MPEG1, MPEG4, QuickTime, AVI and DivX). The software however was limited in its conversion abilities, enticing users to pay for the full version{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}}. It has been suggested{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}} that this difficulty in converting video for the device diminished the Zodiac's success. Several aftermarket [[DivX]] and [[XviD]] players have been developed (such as the [[The Core Pocket Media Player|TCPMP]]), and, at the time of bankruptcy, Tapwave were working on an update to supply [[MPEG-4]] hardware decoding{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}}.
