 Sony Clie PEG-UX50 Handheld:

  

 The PEG-UX50 Personal Entertainment Communicator features dual Wireless integration in a compact and light weight design. Powered by Palm OS 5, the UX50 is powerful, portable, and easy to use!

 

  With both 802.11b WiFi and Bluetooth built-in, the UX50 offers two methods of wireless communication for maximum flexibility. Connect to a wireless LAN network using 802.11b WiFi, and you can check e-mail, access the Internet, or HotSync with a PC on the network wirelessly. 

 

  By pairing the UX50 with other Bluetooth enabled devices you can transfer data between Clie handhelds, HotSync with a PC, or connect to the Internet via cell phone. The built-in 310,000 pixel digital camera supports up to VGA (640x480) resolution, and is perfect for taking quick snapshots and transmitting over one of the wireless connections. 

 

  You can also record and play back video (MPEG4, 30 fps, 160x112). The new wide-screen design features a high-resolution 480x320 display. The wider display allows more web pages to be readable, improving your Internet experience. 

 

  The screen lifts to expose the keyboard, or swivels to hide the keyboard and use as a touch screen. Plus, more room is available for the built in keyboard, allowing for more space between each key. The UX50 also features Dedicated Internal Media Memory (29MB) for storing multimedia content. 

 

  The Automatic Data Back-up feature helps protect your information by moving data in RAM memory to non-volatile memory when a low battery state is detected.
