Palm Releases New Tungsten T2

Posted by simoniker on from the you-could-be-miiine dept.

securitas writes "Palm has released its latest PDA, the Tungsten T2. The T2 features a Texas Instruments 144MHz OMAP 1510 ARM processor, 32MB SDRAM (29.5 available), 320 x 320 transflective TFT display, wireless communications including Bluetooth, email client, SMS, and web browser, Palm OS v5.2.1, and MP3, video playback, and photo software. It will set you back $399. You can read more about the Palm Tungsten T2 and get tech specs (PDF) at the Palm site. Press release here. More at CNet, PC World, Infosync, the Register and the Inquirer. I'm not sure how many people will buy this product instead of waiting for its newly acquired Handspring Treo 600."

  2. TOP TEN SLASHDOT ARTICLES :) by laetus · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sometimes you don't even need to read the daily stuff. My suggestions for the top 10 daily Slashdot articles:

    1) Microsoft warns of a new security flaw.
    2) RIAA, et. al. are fawking us bad.
    3) Apple's doing something innovative.
    4) New Linux release,driver,bundle,etc. announced.
    5) Neat new digital device arrives. Runs Linux.
    6) Palm offers a new Palm.
    7) New video/audio format/program released.
    8) Someone announces a game for Linux.
    9) Obligatory offbeat science topic of the day.
    10) SPAM is leading to the apocalypse.

    Any other top ten lists? :)

  5. 144 Mhz? by Ummite · · Score: 1, Funny

    In what world do they work? 144 Mhz is not enough to run any .NET application, web services, and real time xml parsing. So, why bother buy one of those?

    This is Slashdot.

    It will have Doom ported to it, and it will run Linux.

    atleast not in Denmark, where I live. In danish, "tung" means heavy and "sten" means rock. So this is the "heavy rock t2". Not exactly a handheld I'd like to own!

    Well see, this time the PalmPilot is sent by the good guys from the future and he's trying to SAVE Sarah Conner, but yeah, it's basically the same.

    Tipper so I can calculate the exact tips at restaraunts...

    You need a special app to calculate the tip? What, does it use a little camera to estimate the waiter's service level? On my Palm there's this really cool app called a calculator, it can calculate tips and tax!

    What kind of loser leaves a $5.23 tip, anyway? My brain can round-off, can Tipper? (With a Master's in Psyc, I'd hope so, but you never know...)
