Sony heeft zijn nieuwe Palm-based PDA's gisteren officieel gereleased. Het apparaatje, door Sony 'personal entertainment organiser' genoemd, is beschikbaar in twee smaken met een monochroom of kleuren display en een behuizing die is gekleurd in het hippe Vaio kleurenschema. Vanaf 9 september zijn de PDA's in Japan verkrijgbaar, voor een prijs van omgerekend $555 en $510 (kleur / monochroom):
Each machine will bundle a Web browser and "file management software to share information with PCs", said Sony. Whether these are AvantGo and HotSync, or some new apps cooked up by the Japanese company isn't clear. The role of the browser is as much as an image display system as a Web surfing tool. Sony plans to launch a Web-based service called ImageStation to allow PDA users to send and receive still and moving images via the Net. The PDAs can be connected to the Internet via cellphone links.
They can also use Sony's MemoryStick 'solid-state floppy' technology, support for which was added to the PalmOS at Sony's behest. The company said it will launch a range of MemoryStick-based peripherals - under the preliminary name 'Memory Stick Expansion Modules' - next year, including a digital camera interface, a Bluetooth transceiver and a GPS tracking unit.
