  1. First Look at Sony's Tiny Vaio UX180p

    · posted by ryuzaki0 · from the weentsy dept. · 178 comments
    An anonymous reader writes "MobileTechReview has posted a first look at the Sony Vaio UX180P Micro PC and comparison of it with UMPC and OQO. "When I first heard about the Sony UX series, I nearly dismissed it because I just couldn't imagine that 1024 x 600 on a 4.5" screen could ever be readable. Yes, the price is certainly another issue-- consumers don't flock to spend twice as much on a "notebook" that's less than half the size of a standard ultralight. At least not in the SUV-lovin' US. Well, happily I was wrong. That tiny XBRITE display is easily readable, despite the number of pixels squeezed into close company""

    davidconger writes "PalmOne has introduced the first device in their new line of Mobile Manager handheld devices. The LifeDrive includes an embedded 4GB Hitachi Microdrive and additional software for file/folder synchronization. The device includes both WiFi and Bluetooth. Price tag on the device $499. PocketFactory has done a complete review of the LifeDrive." Reader gandell adds a link to Brighthand's review. Update: 05/18 18:08 GMT by T : An anonymous reader corrects this story's original headline, writing "Despite rumors the LifeDrive would run Linux, it runs PalmOS 5 (Garnet). However, the device seems to have a Linux-friendly design, and is likely to run Linux soon, whether supplied by PalmOne's sister company PalmSource, or by Linux hobbyists. PalmSource is likely to offer a Linux OS upgrade for the LifeDrive, once it is ready to support the huge variety of legacy Palm apps under Linux."

    Hardware · Handheld · · posted by timothy · from the I-never-could-pronounce-it dept. · 2 comments
    An anonymous reader writes "MobileTechReview has published a hands-on review of the Sony Clie VZ90 which is the last of its line and only sold officially in Japan. The price is pretty high, but the screen is absolutely lovely. If the portable media players adapted the OLED display like the one on the Clie, they'd probably sell better."

    Lisa from MobileTechReview.com writes "PalmOne has released a new PDA, the Tungsten E2, which offers some key improvements that all users will appreciate, not just the specs junkies. The new unit has non-volatile memory so your data won't go bye-bye if you forget to charge it, double the battery life of the Tungsten E it replaces (this thing plays MP3s for 15 hours) and adds Bluetooth. Add on a high-res color display, a web browser and email client and you've got the E2."

    Lisa Gade, the chief geek over at MobileTechReview.com, reports that they've just published an in-depth review of the Electrovaya Scribbler SC2200. "It's a Windows XP Tablet Edition with lots of the features you'd expect on a high end slate machine like a 12.1" screen you can write on, a Dothan 1.4GHz processor and WiFi. But its real claim to fame is the huge capacity 10,200 mAh SuperPolymer battery which will get you through a work day without a charge."
