Noticed at tech-report.com that Sony Japan has announced 2 new PDAs:

Some specs:

- 66 mHz Dragonball Super VZ
- 3.8 inch TFT screen
- Back-lit colour liquid display
- 320x480 resolution
- 65,536 colors
- Top flip with screen swivels/rotates
- (ie. hides the keyboard, and allows complete soft graffiti usage)

The battery can apparently last 10 days under normal use... Wonder if this will be available outside Japan...

Since my Palm Pilot lives at the back of a drawer I don't think I'll be considering one of those, although sony's kit is particularly attractive. I'll vouch for there mp3/atrac technology being good as I use one of their Network players. Just stuck in a world between phones and laptops. Since I travel with both 90% of the time, a PDA just isn't viable. It would just be an expensive toy for me.
I see Sony are providing an Optional Bluetooth add-on PCGA-BM1. Bluetooth headset/headphones???

I would personally buy one if it has a built in phone something like the Visor Treo. Sony is kinda known for its ultra hip PDAs with support for MP3 and hi-color displays.

True...

I wouldn't mind having a phone that had PDA functionality.
Anything thats a bit nicer than the Trium Mondo would be acceptable

Heh... Don't think you'll need to worry about looks with the Treo (IMHO)! But hey, don't think you can run away from the "default" design that much anyway.
