Sony Cli-Yeah!!!
Pros: This product is one of the most versatile pda, personal organizer, and personal entertainment systems you'll ever see. I have a treo 600,300, sony clie, and various other gadgets. This is the best
Cons: as all pda pros know, in order to have a full-out system you have to do a little bit of browsing. Going online and downloading all the programs you want is a little time consuming. otherwise, it's awesome

compared with the NX7* model:
Pros: Built-in Wireless and BlueTooth. Better camera. Light-up keyboard. Better scratch resistance for screen.
Cons: Forced two-handed use. Only 3 function buttons. No page-up/down buttons. Small screen. Seperate cradle/cables for power and sync. Useful software replaced with useless software that can't be removed and clutters main screen. Graffiti 2 writing system. Fre

Best Current Design
Pros: The design is the part of the UX50. The mini laptop look makes it very easy to use. The keyboard works very nice and the landscape lcd screen is much better than portrait screen pdas. Battery life isn't bad, the recorder and camera eat it up quick of cour
Cons: The only thing that ticked me off is I had to upgrade the version of intellisync to transfer my outlook files to the pda. Other than that the only other thing bad is I spent $500 for it plus my 512 memory card and within a year or two a better product wil

Great Mini TV Playback
Pros: Buy the optional TV recording device. You can record 8 hours on a 1GB Memory Stick. Playback is 3-4 hours with the battery pack. Great for travel and sits securely on a treadmill for running.
Cons: Sony no longer makes Clie. Cost and questionable lifespan. Already have had to replace the screen and can no longer hotsnyc.

All Purpose Wonder

Cons: Very little software designed for widescreen out there. Lacking some buttons necessary for most games on the market. Lower processing speed, but this con is never noticed in any of the software available for PalmOS 5 or greater.

Make sure you back it up
Pros: Great size and features, compatable with most palm software. WIFI works well. Sharp vivid screen
Cons: It crashes about once or twice every 3 or so months. If I did not back this up on my computer I would be screwed. Random fatal exception messages with the built in POP3 email software. Which leads to a crash. My cell phone has a better camera. Sony should

Great toy and really useful too!
Pros: Rapid performance, excellent wifi connection - speed & simplicity, all the usual palm OS user friendliness. Neat camera and video recording - bit of a gimmick but fun. The keyboard makes it a very useful email machine when on a wifi network,or text me
Cons: Screen size too small for it's high resolution - gives you a headache squinting! No Portrait mode. Battery life not so good when using wifi. Should come with a case for that much money!
Specifications
- Manufacturer: Sony
- Part number: PEG-UX50
- Description: The PEG-UX50 Personal Entertainment Communicator features dual Wireless integration in a compact and lightweight design. Powered by Palm OS 5, the UX50 is powerful, portable, and easy to use! With both 802.11b WiFi and Bluetooth built-in, the UX50 offers two methods of wireless communication for maximum flexibility. Connect to a wireless LAN network using 802.11b WiFi, and you can check e-mail, access the Internet, or HotSync with a PC on the network wirelessly. By pairing the UX50 with other Bluetooth enabled devices you can transfer data between CLIE handhelds, HotSync with a PC, or connect to the Internet via cell phone. Built-in digital camera with 3x digital zoom provides 310K effective pixel resolution. The built-in 310, 000 pixel digital camera supports up to VGA (640x480) resolution, and is perfect for taking quick snapshots and transmitting over one of the wireless connections. You can also record and play back video (MPEG4, 30 fps, 160x112)! The new wide-screen design features a high-resolution 480x320 display. The wider display allows more web pages to be readable, improving your Internet experience. The screen lifts to expose the keyboard, or swivels to hide the keyboard and use as a touch screen. Plus, more room is available for the built in keyboard, allowing for more space between each key. The UX50 also features Dedicated Internal Media Memory (29 MB) for storing multimedia content. The Automatic Data Back-up feature helps protect your information by moving data in RAM memory to non-volatile memory when a low battery state is detected.
