New Clie Handhelds

Posted by michael on from the things-to-break dept.

Carthis writes "Sony has officially released their newest Clié handheld, the PEG-NR70, in the USA. This one has a clamshell design, a high resolution 480 x 320 screen (half VGA), Sony's MemoryStick slot, built in MP3 player, enhanced IR port (like the Sony 'T' series), and a REAL SPEAKER for once, instead of the typical piezo buzzer. I want this to have my children. PalmInfoCenter has this story about this tasty new handheld. Following past trends of Sony, this handheld probably won't be available for at least 6 months for us Canadians *grumbles*."

    It's cute, but I still like my Ipaq better.

    This is wonderful news! It'll give me another expensive product tiny enough to be lost in hours having not yet been in my possession long enough to me to get my full use (playing with it) out of it.

    Why hasn't anyone developed a ROBUST syncronisation option for Linux and PalmOS? I'd be willing to pay for a **commercial** closed source ** implimentation! While this may seem to be a flame, its important to know there is financial incentive.

    Is 320*480

    just thought someone might want to know the truth...

    Yeah, but just think of how organized your hockey equipment will be in six short months.

    Popular science is the same magazine that predicted that we'd be using zero emmisions vehicles by now too.
    We do. They're called bicycles.

    But with current battery technology and my habits of listening to mp3, recording video, and running countless of background applications all at once, I wonder how many seconds I can unplug clie from the wall. They should make a wearable power generator an accessory.

    Hmm, I don't know if even Bicycles would count. They seem to help produce increased levels of CO2 and increase the saline content of the local groundwater.

    I read the internet for the articles.

    I dunno what YOUR diet consists of, but I've never been accused of being zero-emission regardless of my mode of transportation.

    Then again, if I could harness those emissions for powering an engine that runs on methane...

    Or maybe I've said too much.
