Released: February 14th 2004
Alias: TH55/U
Rated by: tim_palmzone
Sony has finally released a device with a 320x480 screen that is a standard
form-factor, not a clamshell. This new TH55 also has Wi-Fi and a camera built
in! It also includes some interesting new PIM software.
The TH55 runs Palm OS 5.2 (see the PalmZone.net Palm OS 5 page for more
details) and has a high res+ 320 x 480 65k color screen. It comes with 32 MB of
RAM (all of it usable, so they must have separate RAM for the OS to use) and a
Memory Stick PRO slot. The processor is the same one that Sony developed for the
UX50, which varies its processing speed up to 125 MHz depending on the task at
hand.
The device itself is 3" x 4.9" x .53", but the integrated flip cover adds a
bit to the thickness. It weighs 5.8 oz plus the weight of the flip cover.
The front of the device has a row of small application buttons, but the
navigation controls are on the back of the device. There is a jog dial plus left
and right arrows and a back button, but Sony has moved the controls to the top
part of the back of the unit. The addition of the extra buttons is nice, but the
location seems a bit odd. We'll have to see how users respond to the new
location.
There will be some new software included with this device to integrate the
various PIM applications together and allow graphic images to be inserted in
calendar events, etc. Sony is also including DocsToGo Pro v.6 free when you
register your device on their website.
