 Palm’s
latest PDA offering delivers wireless networking, lots of RAM
and a faster processor—a PDA for the professional.
Palm has embraced wireless networking with the Tungsten C, which
has built in 802.11b capability. This is definitely a PDA for
power users, as along with wireless networking comes 64MB of
RAM, 51MB of which is available for your applications and data.
The Tungsten C runs on the new Intel PXA 255 processor, an
update of the PXA 250 which has more speed and better power
management than its predecessor.
The hardware looks very much like that of the Tungsten W. There
is no antenna like the W has, but there is a keypad where the
Graffiti area traditionally sits on a Palm. A new version of
Graffiti, called rather unimaginatively Graffiti2, is provided,
and you can use this to write text direct to the screen should
you desire to.
Palm provides a whole slew of applications including Documents
To Go, for working with Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.
This is in ROM along with email software VersaMail and software
to set up the wireless networking features and run VPN (Virtual
Private Networking) sessions.
Connecting to an existing 802.11b network is easy as pie – and
a separate manual walks you though the process if required. Once
connected, you can use another ROM-based application, Web, to
browse the Web using your wireless modem.
Though designed with professional users in mind Palm has not
lost sight of the fact that the Tungsten C will appeal to a
wider audience. They provide the Kinoma player for watching
movies and Photos for looking at digital images. A key notable
absence is any kind of MP3 player.
Palm’s addition to the range of PDAs with built in 802.11b is
a very impressive one. It has the processing power to cope with
wireless activity and the memory to deal with the data you’ll
download and share while using wireless.--Sandra Vogel
