Created
for today's fast-paced mobile landscape, the sleekly lightweight
Palm TX handheld keeps you connected to your most important
data--from email to files stored on your office PC--while you're
away from your desktop with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
wireless connectivity.
It also features a high-resolution 320 x 480-pixel screen (with
portrait and landscape orientation modes), a fast Intel 312 MHz
ARM-based processor, expansion slot for Secure Digital (SD),
MultiMedia (MMC), and Secure Digital I/O (SDIO) cards.
The 128 MB of non-volatile flash memory (of which approximately
100 MB is available for files and software) protects your
documents and information, even if the device is not charged and
the power runs down. And, of course, the Palm TX features Palm's
suite of information management applications, the ability to
edit Word- and Excel-compatible files, and synchronization with
Microsoft Outlook (Windows only).
Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Wireless Connectivity - Stay
connected easily when you're on the go with the built-in Wi-Fi
wireless connectivity (802.11b), which enables you to access
email and browse the Web at hotspots such as at coffee shops and
in airports, or in your office if you have a wireless LAN
network.
You can even retrieve documents from your main computer with the
included WiFile LT software. The Palm TX also comes with the
following enhancements:
 |
Added
ability for the device to scan for available networks
|
 |
Improved
connection logic to automatically connect to available
compatible networks
|
 |
Three
steps to easily set up a new network connection
|
 |
A
free 30-day subscription to all T-Mobile Wi-Fi hotspots |
With built-in wireless Bluetooth connectivity (version 1.1), you
can synchronize the Palm TX with a Bluetooth-enabled computer
from across the room (within a range of 10 meters, or
approximately 30 feet). But that's just the start. Using a
compatible Bluetooth-enabled phone, you can send and receive
e-mail and connect to the Web, send multimedia (MMS) or text (SMS)
messages, and even automatically dial any number in your
handheld's Contact's application. (You can also synchronize data
the "old-fashioned" way via the USB connection at the
base of the handheld.)
For mobile professionals, the Palm TX provides all the
conveniences of managing email on the road. With Wi-Fi access or
Bluetooth technology, you can check corporate or campus email as
well as personal accounts; download, read and edit a Word or
Excel report on the fly; synchronize Outlook contacts, calendar,
tasks and memos; and work with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync,
using VersaMail software, to synchronize email and calendar.
Expansion Capabilities - The expansion card slot for
MMC, SD and SDIO formats lets you insert a memory card from a
digital camera and view photos on the large, color display; you
can even can add transitions between photos and present them as
a slideshow.
The Palm TX handheld's compatibility with SD Cards up to 2GB
also lets road warriors carry a few favorite home videos and be
entertained on long trips.
Support for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files - With
the included DataViz Documents To Go software, you rehearse your
PowerPoint presentation discreetly in an airport, make
last-minute changes to a Word document, and check the numbers in
an Excel spreadsheet and update them on the spot. The Palm TX
comes with support for native Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files.
And with the included Adobe Reader for Palm OS, you can download
and view converted Acrobat files.
Multimedia - The Palm TX comes bundled with Pocket
Tunes MP3 player for playing music files or Podcasts, which
allows you to create and edit play lists, shuffle songs and
navigate by album, artist or genre. The Palm TX also includes
built-in software for viewing digital photos and video clips.
And with MobiTV software (sold separately), you can view a wide
range of television programs, including news, sports and
entertainment, directly on the Palm TX handheld.
Operating System and Software - Veteran Palm OS
handheld users will immediately notice the new Favorites view,
which provides easy access to applications, files, and folders.
The installed Palm OS 5.4 also introduces the Files application,
which enables easy navigation among folders and files. It uses
the intuitive and easy-to-learn Graffiti 2 writing software to
input data into the handheld (as well as an on-screen
keyboard).
Windows users can synchronize their calendar, contacts, tasks,
and notes with Microsoft Outlook. The Palm OS features the
following organizer applications:
 |
Contacts:
Lets you store several addresses for each contact, and with
new fields for more phone numbers, multiple e-mail
addresses, instant messenger IDs, and Web sites.
|
 |
Calendar:
Use the new Agenda view to see upcoming calendar events,
tasks due, and important e-mail, and color-code your events
to provide an easy way to reference your calendar in the
Agenda, Day, Week, and Month views. Take more notes, or
synchronize more details from your desktop, in the larger
Memos and Notes fields.
|
 |
Tasks:
Use tasks with alarms and repeating tasks to set reminders
for important commitments. |
