New Palm Lineup Reviewed: Tungsten T3 & E, Zire 21

Geartest.com writes "PalmOne (AKA Palm) launched three new handhelds today: The Tungsten T3, Tungsten E and Zire 21. Without going on at length about the features of every model, the T3 has 64 MB RAM, a 320x480 display that rotates from portrait to landscape mode, a software writing area that slides out of the way when you aren't using it, built-in Bluetooth, a voice recorder, and Palm OS 5.2.1 that runs on an Intel XScale 400 MHz processor, which Sony dropped from the top-end CLIE in favor of its own silicon. InfoSyncWorld reviews the Tungsten T3, Tungsten E and Zire 21. PalmInfocenter also has a T3 review. ZDNet UK has a Tungsten T3 preview. And the Detroit Free Press has an overview of all three devices."

    Why don't they call these things Tung-Pilots? Come to think of it, that would imply a revolutionary way of inputting data into the things.

  3. A lot of nice features, but... by MickLinux · · Score: 3, Funny
    There are a lot of nice features there, and it's a very attractive package and all. But a common criticism that I've heard is that the new T3 sometimes forgets that it can run.
