Sony Announcing New Wireless Handheld This Week
Posted by Jason Dunn in "THE COMPETITION" @ 07:29 AM
"Information obtained by Brighthand from Sony Japan's website shows that it will have integrated Bluetooth and 802.11b wireless networking capabilities. It will come with Sony's suite of Internet applications, including Clie Mail as well as the NetFront v3.0 for Clie web browser. The Clie PEG-UX50 will use Palm OS version 5.2 and run on what Sony calls its Handheld Engine. The Handheld Engine appears to consist of an ARM926 based processor, possibly running at 300MHz, a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a CXD2230GA graphics accelerator chip, and 64MB DRAM."
8O This looks amazing! I've never been seriously tempted to buy a Palm device until now - I've always had a soft-spot in my heart for devices with keyboards. Like all Sony devices, this is quite aggressive technically. I wonder about the screen though - 480 x 320 on a 3.2 inch screen will make for some rather tiny text. Still, I'm drooling on my keyboard...
Where are the Pocket PC OEMs willing to step up and create innovative form-factors like this? :|
