The Palm TX

As you might have well known, Palm has launched two new handheld. One of them is the TX. Yeah, when I tried to Google Palm TX, it gave me a whole bunch of results regarding Texas hehehe. Anyways, I got to play with this new toy from Palm. Yup it runs on Palm OS and NOT Windows Mobile as some of you might think. It has the same housing as that of the Palm Tungsten E/E2/T5. The difference from the T5 is that the TX has WiFi (finally!), slower processor (to compensate for power), it will not work as an external drive unlike the T5 (although thru 3rd party applications like CardExport one can make it act as if it's an external drive - Flash Drive). The casing is sort of black-blue in color.

I don't know if it's just the GlobeQuest WIZ connection in the launch or the Blazer browser installed is really fast in loading and refreshing webpages. The screen is wonderful and big. It uses the new Palm Universal connector. It's currently selling in the Philippines with an SRP of P18900.00, this is wireless connectivity made affordable.
