PalmOne's Tungsten T5: not what we expected
I was reading Brighthand where they posted their initial thoughts about the new Tungsten T5. It is really nice that PalmOne finally developed a model with a large screen without the slider and 256 mb of RAM, but the T5 does not offer much more than the T3. As a matter of fact, vibrating alarms and the voice recorder are gone. There's no Wi-Fi either, or the new version of PalmOS, Cobalt. Another low point is that PalmOne decided to introduce a new connector, so all you acessories will not be compatible with the T5.
On their website they list it at US$399. Again, I still feel that PalmOne is completely wrong about not adding a device with Wi-Fi, and their prices are just too high. That's why Pocket PCs are gaining so much popularity.
