  Palm Tungsten T5 Handheld:

   

   Palm Tungsten T5 HandheldPalm stretches the possibilities with the Tungsten T5, the first handheld from Palm to utilize flash memory. In addition to a groundbreaking 256 MB memory, the sleek, slim Tungsten T5 features a high-resolution 320 x 480-pixel screen, a fast 416 MHz Intel Xscale processor, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and Secure Digital memory card expansion slot. 

 

  And, of course, the Tungsten T5 features Palm's suite of information management applications, the ability to edit Word and Excel-compatible files, and synchronize with Microsoft Outlook (Windows only).

 

  Internal Flash Memory - Built for today's mobile professional, the Tungsten T5's 256 MB memory actually provides 215 MB of user-available memory (55 MB for built-in applications and 160 MB of internal flash drive memory).

 

  Connect it to your PC or Mac and use it as you would a USB flash memory drive to transfer data and multimedia files from work to home. To access files stored on the handheld, simply select Drive Mode on the handheld and plug the included HotSync cable into a USB port. 

 

  To add files, just drag and drop them from your PC desktop to the new File Transfer application (installed with Palm Desktop; Windows only). A live desktop window gives you instant access to data and information stored in the handheld's internal drive--without the need for synchronizing the handheld to move files.

 

  Multimedia - The included RealPlayer for Palm OS enables you to listen to MP3 music files stored on optional expansion cards via the built-in speaker on the Tungsten T5 or, for stereo sound, using optional stereo headphones or ear buds. The updated Media application lets you view (and show off) transferred photos and videos.

 

  Display - Unlike the Tungsten T3, which required you to slide the handheld's bottom open to activate the screen's landscape mode, the Tungsten T5's screen offers widescreen viewing at all times. 

 

  The bright 320 x 480 transreflective TFT color display supports more than 65,000 colors. You can easily switch between portrait and landscape view, as well as open an active input area at the bottom of the screen.

 

  Connectivity and Expansion - With the built-in wireless Bluetooth connectivity, you can synchronize the Tungsten T5 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 email 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 universal connection at the base of the handheld.

 

  The Tungsten T5 uses Multimedia Card and Secure Digital expansion cards, which instantly add software applications, additional memory, large databases, and more without taking up built-in memory space.

 

  Operating System and Software - Veteran Palm OS handheld users will immediately notice the new Favorites view, which provides easy access to the 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 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 it adds new contact fields for more phone numbers, multiple email addresses, instant messenger IDs, and a website for your contacts.

  • Calendar: Use the new Agenda view to see upcoming calendar events, tasks due and important email, 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, into the larger Memos and Notes fields on the handheld.

  • Tasks: Use tasks with alarms and repeating tasks to set reminders for important comments.

 

  Additional Software - The Tungsten T5 includes Documents To Go 7.0, which provides the ability to create and edit Word and Excel compatible files and view and carry PowerPoint files (in native format) with no desktop conversion required. The included Software Essential CD-ROM also contains eReader, Acrobat Reader, Solitaire, and Audible Player for palmOne handhelds (Windows only).

 

  What's in the Box - This package contains the Tungsten T5 handheld, built-in rechargeable battery, carrying case, USB HotSync cable, power cable, stylus, CD-ROM with Palm Desktop 4.1 software for Windows and Macs (as well as bonus software), and printed Getting Started guide.

 

  Macintosh Users - While the Tungsten T5's new File Transfer application is a Windows-only feature, Mac users can simply mount the handheld as an external drive, and then proceed to drag and drop files from the Macintosh Finder to the handheld. Note, however, that the Tungsten T5's Palm OS environment is unavailable when connected in this mode.

 

Description:

 

  With 256 MB of storage, the Tungsten T5 handheld from palmOne lets you carry more and do more. Word documents. Spreadsheets. PowerPoint presentations. Photos. MP3s. The works. 

 

  And because it's flash memory, information stays protected, even when you're on the move and don't have time to recharge. Better yet, the stunning 320 x 480 color display lets you see more in both landscape and portrait modes. But the real beauty of the Tungsten T5 handheld is you can transfer files and folders back and forth to your desktop, and even use it as a flash drive with another computer.
