Palm, while not doing too well lately, has some new PocketPC fighters in the queue. The LifeDrive concept of using a tiny hard drive in a handheld is too strong to limit it to just one model. WiFi support is also long overdo as it is a lot more useful than Blutooth to most users.
The translation is a bit rough, but Mobile-Review has it on authority that the Palm TX, a new LifeDrive, and a new Zire (the Z22) are due for announcement in October. According to them, the TX will stand downwind from the flagship Tungsten T5, featuring only a 312MHz processor and 128MB of flash memory, but it will indeed have Bluetooth and WiFi—which more or less jibes with what we had on the topic before, though their quoted price of $450 doesn’t sound quite right. Apparently the Z22 will sport specs similar to the Z31, including a 200MHz processor and 160 x 160 color screen for about $130 US. Oh yeah, and the LifeDrive will have a version bundled with Philips earphones, Pocket DVD Studio Lite, and MM Player on sale this holiday season. Well, alright then.
