Reviews of the PEG-UX50 CLIE Communicator
-
CNET Review
The Good: Clamshell design; tactile minikeyboard; built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and digital camera; MP3 support; generous software package; 104MB of total memory.
The Bad: As expensive as an entry-level laptop; no included Mac support; so-so battery life.
The Bottom Line: The handheld meets the laptop in Sony's fully loaded, clamshell-style CLIE UX-50 PDA.
