Sony PDA Reviews

"The PRS-600 is sleeker than the Kindle; touch screen is more responsive than last year's Sony Reader; interface offers better ergonomics and is mostly...Screen is still glare-prone; screen contrast (how dark the letters are) isn't as good as what you'll...Beyond its 440MB of usable built-in memory--good for storing about 350 e-books--there's a set of dual expansion slots on the top of the unit for both SD and Memory Stick Duo memory cards...It's a shame, because..." read more »

"Sony packs a huge number of features into the PEG-NZ90, with highlights including a 2-megapixel camera, QWERTY keyboard and a fantastic 320 x 480 TFT screen...Well, the NZ90 is so far away from these creatures it's barely recognisable...This puts it into true digital camera territory, and the NZ90 is undoubtedly the best camera you'll find available for a PDA - and by some margin...It's a good effort and reasonably easy to use, but note the lack of a separate line for numbers..." read more »

"The PEG-UX40 Personal Entertainment Communicator features built-in Bluetooth technology in a compact and light weight design...The PEG-UX40, a new Clie handheld from Sony, is a personal entertainment communicator...Pentium II 400 MHz or faster (Pentium III 500 MHz or faster is recommended...96 MB RAM minimum (128 MB or more is recommended..." read more »

"Elegant, ergonomic design with built-in keypad and digital camera Bluetooth connectivity built in High-resolution screen Dual...Relatively bulky and heavy Only 16MB of RAM provided Poor battery life Audio...Sony has extended the notion of built-in protection to the digital stills and movie camera that?s integrated into the upper part of the NX73V...The lens swivels to give good angles for taking shots, but..." read more »

"The PEG-SJ20 offers a higher-resolution monochrome screen (320-by-320 versus the PEG-S360's 160-by-160) and enhanced white-screen backlighting, making it equally usable indoors and outdoors...At 4.0 by 2.8 by 0.6 inches (HWD), the silver PEG-SJ20 is not as tall as its predecessor, and it weighs slightly more, at 4.5 ounces...The PEG-SJ20's internal, rechargeable lithium battery is rated for 15 days of use...The PEG-SJ20's Memory Stick expansion slot opens the door for add-on storage and accessories, such as the Sony Memory Stick and the Sony Clié Memory Stick Camera Module PEGA-MSC1...than I'd wholehearted recommend the PEG-SJ20 for those who like to play a lot of games, look for color..." read more »

"They are so similar, you could just read our SJ30 review, and know nearly everything you need to about the SJ22...The price is a modest $199, significantly cheaper than the $299 SJ30, the screen is a tad brighter, and Documents to Go is no longer bundled with the SJ22...Compared to the SJ30, the SJ22's screen is a little bit brighter and doesn't have the SJ30's strong blue cast— a small but welcome improvement...If you really wanted the built-in MP3 player that comes with high end models, but don't want to spend the money now, you can buy Sony's accessory MP3 audio player adapter for $129 later and you will be able to listen to MP3 music with the SJ22...This is an attractive and highly portable PDA at a great price..." read more »

"The latest addition to the Clié SJ stable of PDAs from Sony is the SJ33, a mid-range, Palm OS-based palmtop...Sony has designed the SJ33 to remind people of the Walkman line...As you'd expect, there's a good range of utilities built in...Probably the 'killer' application of the Clié SJ33 is the integrated MP3 player, although it can only play files stored on a memory stick..." read more »

"On the downside, the backlit screen has good but not great visibility indoors and outdoors, and at 2.8 inches (diagonally) the 320-by-320 display is relatively small...The PEG-T415 is a sleek entertainment device and a good alternative to more costly color-screen pdas..." read more »

"The Maingear Ephex (Core i7) is blazingly fast and priced accordingly...The two higher-end models?the PEG-TJ37 and PEG-TH55?will offer a built-in camera and MP3 playback...It will physically dominate a room, and trash all comers on the game grid..." read more »

"The TJ25 and TJ35 look identical except for the headphone jack located on the top edge of the TJ35...They come with a detachable black flip cover (neoprene-like material with a rigid insert on the TJ25 and what looks like black nylon on the TJ35...The TJ35's headphone jack is located between the IR port and the Memory Stick slot...Sony has some of the best PDA screens in the industry, so I was surprised at how dim the display is on the TJ25 and TJ35...Both exhibited very good battery life— one benefit of a dim display is that it doesn't use as much power as a very bright one..." read more »
