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*."

    66mhz and 16megs. All I can say to that is "ugh". I cant beleive anyone would even consider this. They have 206mhz handhelds now, and 16megs? Seriously, this is slow, and has no memory. Sure it has the expansion slot but I want at least a little bit onboard. By a little bit I mean at least 32.

    Do remember that this is the same Sony that is an member of the MPIAA.

    They would need to turn out a truly incredibly good product before I would either consider or recommend them. I don't think that this is good enough.

    I think we've pushed this "anyone can grow up to be president" thing too far.
