From the Manufacturer
---------------------
If you're still tapping away on a Palm Vx, it's time to upgrade
to the 21st century with the brightly colorful, expandable, and
powerful--not to mention affordable--Palm Tungsten E. Designed
for the budget-conscious, yet still stylish professional, the
Tungsten E offers several key advances over even the m500
handheld series, including:
* Palm OS 5.2.1 enhances Palm applications such as and
Contacts as well as Java application support.
* Multimedia audio support and headphone jack enables you to use
the Tungsten E as an MP3 player
* The zippy 126 MHz Texas Instruments O311 ARM processor
induces whiplash when sw programs.
* A 32 MB RAM memory (28.3 MB user accessible) adds more room for
applications, while the expansion slot enables access to MP3and
video files, e-books, games, and more. Best of all, the Tungsten
E ups the display ante with a bright, crisp, high-resolution 320
x 320 pixel color screen (the m515 only offered a 160 x 160
resolution) that puts it on par with Sony's high-quality Clie
screens. Your family snap slideshows look sharper, as do
graphically intense games such as Monopoly and downloaded video
(like the most recent Hollywood movie trailer). The Tungsten E
offers a powerful array of multimedia options. With the included
Kinoma Player (and desktop Kinoma Producer software), you can
convert a myriad of video file formats (from QuickTime and Flash
to AVI and MPEG) to be played on the Palm OS. And now you don't
need to fumble between your PDA and portable MP3 player, thanks
to the included RealOne Player for Palm. MP3 files are stored on
optional Secure Digital or MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards, and we
recommend purchasing a 128 MB card if you plan to access a lot of
audio. You can listen to music via headphones or relive the '70s
using the tinny, AM radio-like built-in speaker.
At 4.6 ounces, the Tungsten E is lighter than its forbearers
despite being about the same dimensions as the m515 (4.5 x 3.1 x
0.5 inches). The ultra-slim Tungsten E isn't as curved as its
m500 or V series predecessors, but we found the gentle slope near
its base to be quite comfortable in the hand. The stylin' case is
fully metallic and feels very durable.
The Tungsten E includes the familiar suite of Palm applications
(, Contacts, Memos, and Tasks) as well as a number of
third-party software title (ranging from Acrobat Reader to
Documents To Go for accessing Microsoft Word and Excel files).
has been given an Outlook-friendly makeover, adding a
useful Agenda view that consolidates all of today's appointments,
tasks, and new e-mails.
Java has also now entered the Palm OS arena, expanding the
application development rtunities. The T3 comes with a few
sample applets (including a periodic table that would be handy at
our local pub's trivia night), but we'll have to wait for more
development before Java becomes a full Palm OS tool.
In an effort to make this package as affordable as possible,
Palm includes only a USB cable instead of the standard
synchronization/charging cradle. The USB cable is fine (and can
provide a low-wattage charge from your PC when needed), but we've
become accustomed to Palm's cradles and were disappointed at its
omission.
While missing a few key add-ons (the USB cable and expansion
card) and not offering such bells and whistles as the Zire 71's
built-in digital camera or the Tungsten T3's landscape screen,
the Tungsten E sticks to what Palm does best--personal
information management. And the Tungsten E packs a lot of
powerful Palm tools into an affordable PDA package, one that will
keep you connected to your daily and important documents
for years to come. --Agen G.N. Schmitz
