Lust After The Sony Clie NZ90

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-there-it-is dept.

V0rtex writes "Once again, Sony is ahead of the game with their new Clie PEG-NZ90. View the specs here. Not to be released until the end of February, this one is packed with some long awaited features since the NX70V such as built in bluetooth and the 2 megapixel camera with flash. Is it really that great? Check out a couple reviews. It would be nice if they would include the faster (400 MHz) version of the XScale processor and step the internal memory up a bit, but this one carries an $800 price tag as it is." Even if it has issues, I think any step towards integrating the vast array of personal electronics (Cel Phone, MP3 Player, PDA, Digital Camera) is a good one. And this looks like the first PDA with a real camera.

    But I made a laundry list of features yesterday of what I want in a handheld/phone:

    Integerated Cell Phone
    MP3 Playback
    Voice Recorder
    GPS
    Memory slot (SD, Flash etc...)
    Calender/Scheduling etc...
    Full operating system (either Linux or PocketPC)
    Clamshell design (hate having to use a stupid case)
    At least 3 Megapixel Camera with optical zoom

    I think we will have this in about 2-3 years and it will cost $500.

    Any other features I've forgot?
