Monday November 19th, 2001: Sony releases two new Clié devices!
Remember the last news item, about the PEG-T415 announce
by Sony? Well, they have announced yet another device. Or more exactly two new
devices, to be released on December 8th in Japan.
The first device is the PEG-T400, the Japanese
equivalent of the PEG-T415, i.e. a small
form-factor monochrome high resolution device.
The second device, and the more interesting one to be honest, is the future
PEG-T600C. This one will be similar to
the PEG-T400 except that it will feature
a color screen (320 x 320 and 65536 colors, of course). This makes it a really
compact color device (smaller than the Palm m505, same weight), with the same
dimensions than the T400/T415, except the depth that increase from 0.99 cm to
an acceptable 1.25 cm. The weight of the
T600C is also slightly more than those of the T400/T415, with 138g
instead of 122g.
Both the T400 and T600C feature the enhanced sound and infrared, the led and
vibrating alarms, the new high resolution launcher, a new world clock application,
a remote control application, the Document To Go suite... There will be an optional
audio module to clip on the T400/T600C connector to give him MP3 capabilities
as well, if needed.
One interesting thing is also that Sony will release a T600C sleeve that fits
on the back of the device and allows the use of a compactflash
modem. And as far as accessories go, the following MemoryStick modules
will be available in December as well: a digital camera and a GPS
MemoryStick!
