 The
Tungsten T2 is a progression of the Tungsten T, and there are
many similarities between the two models, with the T2 being an
update of the line for the modern user.
The processor has not changed from that used in the Tungsten T
-- the 144MHz Texas Instruments OMAP 1510, which has proved
itself capable in the Tungsten T has been retained. But now
there is 32MB of internal memory, of which 29.5 is available.
All the better for you to store even more data without resorting
to SD cards. The SD card slot, incidentally, sits on the top of
the casing just as it did in the Tungsten T.
The hardware design has changed little. There has been a
lightening of the casing color from slate grey to brighter
silver, but no other substantial alterations. In fact it is the
hardware that really makes this PDA stand out from the crowd.
The bottom segment of the casing slides up and down to
reveal/hide the Graffiti area.
When the case is up it reduces the overall size of this PDA to
very small and impressive dimensions. Thanks to the five-way
button on the front of the casing you can use the Tungsten T2
for general look-up style tasks without actually needing to
slide this portion down.
Bluetooth is built in, and the Tungsten T2 comes with a range of
applications designed to take advantage of this, including
BlueBoard and BlueChat for sharing information with other
Tungsten T2 users. Other applications provided include Palm’s
VersaMail software and WebBrowser Pro, both of which can be used
along with a Bluetooth phone if you have one. And if you want to
listen to MP3s, the RealOne player is on the installation CD.
The Tungsten T2 is a good logical progression from the original
Tungsten T. It doesn't blow your mind with frills and party
tricks, but it is a versatile and solid performer suitable for
both professionals and consumers.--Sandra Vogel
