Palm Releases New Tungsten T2

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."

My Rant by MarcQuadra · 2003-07-24 10:09 · Score: 0, Troll

I guess I'm just old school.

I think 'multimedia' is bullshit.

Animations, video, and sound where they don't belong just piss me off.

If your website has flash I don't like it.

If my PDA has to render my address book in 'vibrant 16-bit color' it's more of a toy than a tool.

If I wanted to take pictures I'd have bought a camera, keep CCDs out of my PDAs and Phones.

Bluetooth is a way to reduce wire clutter, not an excuse to have 35 wireless perhipherals jumping around my desk.

video cards have too much RAM onboard these days. I don't think I've ever USED more than 5MB VRAM.
