Quick takes on high-tech toys
A few weeks ago we looked at the Palm Zire 71, one of two new PDAs Palm launched recently The Zire 71's cool camera, color screen, MP3 player and digital video player make it a multimedia lover's dream.
But this is Network World, where we get turned on by network connectivity For that we needed to test the other new Palm PDA, the Tungsten C (available for $499). The device includes integrated 802.11b (Wi-Fi) wireless LAN connectivity and an embedded keyboard for users who prefer to type out their long e-mails or notes instead of using an add-on keyboard or Graffiti. It also has a great color screen, with a 320-by-320-pixel resolution that only Sony CLIE fans have enjoyed until now. High-end Palm users who haven't yet flocked to the Sony camp now have a reason to stay with Palm for a while (or at least include Palm on their short lists of devices to buy).
