New Palms: Zire 71 and Tungsten C

Posted by michael on from the stuff-to-fidget-with dept.

securitas writes "Today Palm released their latest in the PDA arms race: the Zire 71 and the Tungsten C. The Zire gets a color screen, digital camera and multimedia capabilities such as MP3 playback and 640x480 VGA video playback -- interesting since the screen is 320x320. The Tungsten C gets 802.11b (WiFi) connectivity and a VPN client to protect your data while in transit. More at InternetNews, PC World and Business Week/CNet."

    It's worth noting that the word Tungsten comes from the swedish words tung and sten meaning 'heavy' and 'rock'. Heavyrock C, anyone? If you don't believe me, check out Merriam-Webster.

    We've also worked hard to extend the battery life to give you a full 8-hour day of work on one 1500-amp charge."

    1500 Amp? Yikes! :-)
