TX (handheld)

The T|X is a personal digital assistant produced by Palm, Inc.. It features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and is priced at $299 USD. It runs Palm OS Garnet, version 5.4.9.
The T|X has 128 MB of non-volatile flash memory, of which 100 MB is user accessible, which some consider to be a leap backward from the 256 MB seen in the Tungsten T5. However, the Tungsten T5 had only 63.8 MB available for applications, so the application-area of memory has actually increased. The processor, a 312 MHz ARM-based Intel XScale PXA 270 processor, is slower than the processors of the T5 or LifeDrive which are clocked at 416 MHz; this may be an attempt to increase battery life after the inclusion of Wi-Fi in the handheld and to lower costs. However, many users report that the actual performance of the unit seems a lot higher than that of the T5 and LifeDrive. The T|X has 320x480 reflective screen that supports 65,000 colors. It has a headphone jack and also a slot for expansion cards. The T|X has an Athena Connector for syncing and accessories.
Some of the built-in software for the T|X includes:
- Versamail - hand held email client.
- Dataviz Documents To Go - A useful mini-office application compatible with Microsoft Office files.
- Pocket Tunes - An MP3 player - additional features available for purchase.
- Blazer - Palm's own web browser, optimized for hand-held browsing.
