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.

    The word Clie reminds me of the word Clit, something sak will never come in contact with. :(

    I ordered the new 17" PowerBook G4 a couple days ago and plan to use it for everything -- music, phone calls, movies, drawing, coding, Web browsing, Instant Messaging, email, stock reports, etc.

  5. $800?! by Amsterdam+Vallon · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    No way in hell would I spend two or three days' worth of my salary on a little device that I'd probably either lose, step on by mistake, drop by mistake, or have stolen from me.

    But then again, I'm one of those guys who spends five bucks on a pair of pharmacy glasses instead of $250 at LensCrafters, so YMMV ;-)

    I never have mod points when I need them. Sure this guy's rant is offtopic, but there really isn't a forum on Slashdot for concerned readers to give feedback about the site or the editors.

    Oh well, consider this post a +1 Insightful mod for the parent.
