Bryce's Radio Experiments
Exploring Pocket PCs and the Zaurus SL-5000D / SL-5500 Linux PDAs.

Permanent Link Thursday, May 30, 2002

Handspring has launched two color Treo models, the Treo 270 and Treo 90. The Treo 270 is basically a Treo 180 with a color screen, $499 with contract or $699 without. The Treo 90 removes the wireless features and adds an SD socket (non-SDIO), $299. Coverage at infoSync, PDABuzz, and allNetDevices.

Why no SD socket in the 270?

Nokia's 9290 Communicator has finally launched in the US, coverage at The Register and PDABuzz. Direct price is $599 without contract. Single-band, doesn't support GPRS, specs don't say if the modem is analog or digital (Voicestream only supports digital CSD connections).

Too little, too late I think.

Web McDeb has a Ferret theme for Pocket PCs. I used to have Ferrets, the first was a stray that I took home and my family quickly peaked at three of the little buggers. They are addictive.
