Sony CLIE PEG-N760C
Price: $299 - $299
It's okay but kinda delicate10/21/04
- Pros:
- Color, MP3, Not too Bulky, Reliable
- Cons:
- Poor Shell/Casing
My first PDA was a Palm Zire 21. Every PDA must meet or exceed the performance of that one, lol. I'm a busy person, work hard as hell and I really do appreciate well built electronic gadgets.
This device has been a bit of a headache. I kept it a hard case but after a while the screws will begin to slip out. There's a remedy for that though. The screen does have a thick plastic coating on it with wires attached to it. That got a little annoying but highly scratch resistant. But when you add another screen protector over it you begin to run into problems.
The buttons require a lot of pressure to press down and that takes the fun out of playing some games for palm os.
Accessories for this device are nearly impossible to find now. Sony website does offer a stylus. But they've practically dropped support for this model. I know it's old but, manaaan.
May buy another Sony device in the future but my big investments will go towards Palm PDA's.

Palm Zire 21
Price: $65.88 - $159
Minimalist: Cheap and Tough07/17/04
- Pros:
- inexpensive, lightweight, easily concealable
- Cons:
- no backlight, very few external connections
It's a great device for simply moving information. Store ebooks, first aid manuals, bus/train schedules, notes on how to operate other machines... anything you can think of... I'm still trying to figure an easy way to get maps on it.
There's no backlight and this is a huge pain for some people.
You can't attach many accessories to it like keyboard, headphones, memory cards, modem...
The keyword here is minimalist...
But with enough ingenuity, you could find away around some problems.
