Review of New Sony Clie PEG-NR70

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hardware-to-lust-after dept.

Bryce writes "Here is a detailed review of the new Sony Clie PEG-NR70." Kurt the Pope picked one of these up in Japan and I have to say that it is an amazing PDA. Brilliant screen, and that cool flip open design with a mini keyboard. When I can get one that speaks English, it could be my next PDA (my iPaq died!)

    You're trolling Russ. If you want to try and read a Word doc on your iPaq go right ahead. Just gives me headaches.

    There are two predominant PDA platforms for a reason: there is a significant split in the user community over the purpose of a PDA.

    On the other hand, if you meant will it run DOS, please accept my apologies.

    Slashdot never ceases to amaze me
    - On one side there's all the rage about DCMA and media business hurting the consumer.
    - On the other side there's the "oh look at this nice toy from Sony [also a media business], it's sooooo cool - i must have one of these" sort of articles.

    With all the current battle between content-producers and consumers, and since Sony is also a content-producer, i've completly stoped buying Sony products.

    Also Sony products usually include lotsa "features" whose only purpose is to "protect (Sony's) intelectual property" in the process hurting the consumers or at the very least causing needless problems (macrovision anyone).
