Those
in the business world and family types who enjoy a few techy toys will really
appreciate the Palm Tungsten E2 handheld. With a middle-of-the-road price
tag and a few added features beyond the basic models, this handheld is one
of the most popular models by Palm.
Highlights include:
- Basic features like calculator, note pad, contacts, calendar and infrared
port for information sharing
- Incorporated MP3 player
- Phonebook
- Spreadsheet
- Video playback
- Word processor
- Control pad input in addition to stylus and touch screen
- 320x320 16-bit color display with better color saturation than earlier
models
- Stereo headphone jack

- Bluetooth wireless technology, great for transferring data, checking
email and accessing online data
- Lithium Ion battery, for longer life
- Supports SD, SDIO and MultiMediaCard expansion cards to increase available
memory
- Average size - 4.5 inches tall, 3.1 inches wide and weighs 4.7 ounces,
including stylus
The drawbacks of the Tungsten E2 include:
- 32MB internal memory, only 26MB available
for user storage
- Shoddy plastic case that doesn't always
stay closed
- Processor slows when database is running
- Internal speaker offers low quality sound,
headphones fix the problem
Palm married the needs of
business users with the desires of household PDA users with the Tungsten
E2. You can pick up the E2 for under $200 and with it get the basics plus
some of the most desirable features like Bluetooth technology, expandable
memory and a quality screen.
