New Palm Tungsten

September 23, 2002 - Posted by André Restivo
The Tungsten is expected to use a Texas Instruments OMAP1510
processor running at 175MHz, with 16 MB of RAM, Palm OS version 5,
multimedia support built-in, a microphone, headphone jack, speaker,
and built-in Bluetooth. To be honest I was expecting the new href="http://www.plam.com/">Palm Pilots to be powered by href="http://www.arm.com/armtech/StrongARM">Strong ARM
processors.

Named after a cartoon,
the old href="http://e-www.motorola.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MC68EZ328&nodeId=01M934310090795">
Dragonball EZ processors, were getting a little out of date. I
mean, how can I convince someone that Palm handelds are better than
href="http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/default.asp">Pocket
PC handelds when the first question they make me is: ‘Does
it play videos?’.

I just hope that moving to a more powerfull processor won’t ruin
Palm’s biggest advantage towards Pocket PC based handhelds, it’s
long battery life.

Well, i guess we will have to wait to see.
