palmOne Announces the Tungsten T5



My last post was a month ago and that's how long the T5 "rumours" have been around .... Now, the cat is out of the bag.



Although it doesn't look at all like the picture I previously posted, This new T5 is very much welcomed ... The official release date is Nov 3, 2004. I month from today.

Here's a rundown of the specs I got from BargainPDA.com:


Released: 11/3/2004
Operating System: Palm OS v5.4
Dimensions: 4.76" x 3.08" x 0.61"
Weight: 5.1 ounces
Processor: 416MHz Intel® Xscale™ processor
Wireless: Bluetooth
Memory: 256MB (215MB available to the user. 160MB internal flash drive, 55MB of program memory for applicati
Expansion Slot: Secure Digital (I/O), Multi-Connector
Battery Type: Lithium Ion
Audio Out: Steareo Headphone Jack, Speaker
Display: Transflective TFT color display supports more than 65,000
Resolution: 320 x 480 pixels
Keyboard: Onscreen
Handwriting Recognition: Graffiti 2
Digital Camera: None

Good specs here to my standards. The only thing missing from my wishlist is the integrated WiFi. But at a release price of US$399 (what T3 was selling at), I am not complaining ....

Tungsten T5 ... We Have A Picture


BargainPDA has news and a low quality picture of the upcoming PalmOne's Tungsten T5 ...looks like the real deal.


Some specification si the T5 as well:
  • 520 MHz PXA270 XScale processor,
  • 128 MB RAM,
  • 320 x 480 screen,
  • Bluetooth,
  • WiFi,
  • high capacity battery,
  • one SDIO slot,
  • Palm OS Cobalt,
And a new form-factor. The T5 does away with the slider and goes back to the "classic" 4 buttons arrangement and the 5 way directional pad. It resembles the O2 XDAII I think.

No news on the release date and pricing yet, but I'll bo on a very close watch. Just reading the specs makes me drool already :P

More info on the T5 news at 1src

1src forum also brought up and old image posted at PIC long time ago on a rumoured Tungsten|CV.

It looks like Palmone took this desgn for the Tungsten|T5

Siemens/Blackberry Phone


It's the Siemen SK65....

The Register announced the launched another design masterpiece from Siemens (at least in my opinion). On the inside, RIM Blackberry comm Suite is integrated with the mobile phone.
"The SK65 offers the full Blackberry application environment," RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie told us. "It's not just the communications stack."

The back of the phone swivels to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard for SMS and other data entry. If you ask me this looks more stylish than the original blackberry design. :)

Malaysia will not be seeing this in its markets ... just like the previos Blackberrys.

Just a thought here ... Could the Blackberry compete with the Symbian, Palm and Mirosoft based smartphones outside the US? Hmmmm........

Another PDA/GPS Model ... iQUE 3200


Perhaps the iQUE3600 is priced a little too high ... Garmin decided to launch a "cheapre" model. One main difference which is immediately noticeable is a smaller display area. The iQUE3200 only sports 320x320 pixel screen with a dedidated graffiti area. No more Virtual Grafitti

More specifications:
  • Operating system: Palm OS 5.2
  • Processor: 200-MHz Motorola DragonBall MXL
  • Unit size (WxHxD)/weight: 2.8" x 5.0" x 0.8" / 5.2 oz.
  • Display information: 320x320-pixel, transflective TFT with 16-bit, color-rich display; bright white LED backlight; dedicated Graffiti writing area; and usable screen area of 3.0" (diagonal)
  • Internal Memory: 32 MB SDRAM
  • Expandable Memory: Secure Digital slot with SDIO capability
  • Battery: Rechargeable lithium-ion battery

This gadget is expected to hit the shelves (in the US at least) in August.

1GB SD Card for my Tungsten T3


I ordered a larger capacity SD card for my T3. 1GB.

Currently I have 2 cards, a 256MB SD for data storage and backups and another 128MB card for MP3. I'll check out the read/write speed of the 1Gig card with my T3 and post my findings here. If it does not score too well, I'll use the card for my digital camera instead.

I should be getting the card soon.
