Guide Review - Sony Clie SJ22
Folks, Grayscale is dead. Sony is releasing the new Clie SJ22 for $199. What makes this offering special is this is the first Palm based color PDA to break the $200 barrier.
Although the SJ22 sports the 4.1 OS and not the new 5.0 OS, this PDA still packs a big bang for the buck. Besides the lack of multimedia capabilities, the SJ22 offers everything you would expect for a Sony Clie.
As a refresher for non-Clie users, some of the advantages over basic Palms are: High Resolution screen(320x320), Jog Dial(you can't imagine how handy this is till you use it), expansion slot for Sony memory sticks.
Overall Sony isn't breaking new ground here, but offering a solid product for a great price.
