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*."

    but does a 66MHz CPU have enough cycles to play MP3s and run an application in the foreground?

    There's a seperate DSP to handle MP3 playback, so the processor won't be handling that.
