Three new palms introduced

So far this week there have been three new products running the PalmOS introduced. First Sony introduced the NX80V and the NX73V. Both of these products are huge (in size) and come with everything (in features). The high end NX80V has a "1.3 Mega pixel camera with a "Captuer Light", Palm OS 5, 200mhz processor, 32MB of RAM, backlit thum keyboard and a CF type II card slot," according to Palm Infocenter The main difference between the two models seems to be in the camera. Also, neither model has any integrated wireless. Handspring, a recent Palm acquisition, has also announced a new Treo. The Treo 600 is very small, and like most Treos it has an integrated mobile phone. This palm seems about the size of a traditional candybar style phone, which makes it very appealing. Palm Infocenter had this to say about the new Treo, "The Treo 600 runs Palm OS 5.2 with a 144 MHz Texas Instruments OMAP processor. It will have 32MB of RAM and a SD/MMC/SDIO expansion slot. There is also a Five-way navigation dial for one handed operation. ZDNet reports that the device will use a 160x160 pixel color screen. " It also appears that the Treo has a built in digital camera, but no one has said, what it's resolution is. The Treo will be available on CDMA 1XRTT and GSM/GPRS networks.
