Palm Pilot Tungsten T2
Settling on a hand held device is always a difficult one. You want to get the best product for your money and at the same time make sure you can use everything that comes with the device. If you are looking for something that is both cost effective and should meet your needs, you may want to look at a Tungsten T2.

One of the things that tends to set apart Palm products, and the Palm Pilot Tungsten PDA series in particular, is the presence of a slider. There is a sliding lower section that can be extended when needed. This extended area exposes the fixed Graffiti area for text entry when needed. When you are looking up information rather than entering data, the slider area is simply retracted and is out of the way. This design is great for keeping the overall size of the unit as compact as possible, which in turn makes it easier to carry the unit wherever you go.

The slider also will lock into position, whether you have it fully retracted or fully extended. This means you don’t have to be concerned about it slipping out of place while you are using another application. The locking mechanisms are made to stand up to a lot of abuse, so you don’t have to worry about any type of failure of the mechanism, even if you find that you are using the slider a great deal every day.

As is true of many Palm products, the Palm Pilot T2 Tungsten PDA utilizes a Texas Instruments OMPA1510 processor, which encompasses both an ARM925 processor and a C55x DSP. You get a lot of processing power this way, with the ARM0925 providing 144MHz and the C55x cranking in 200MHz.

The Palm Pilot PDA Tungsten aluminum cases are attractive, but they also provide amply protection for the Palm Pilot tungsten PDa battery that keeps the device going. Make sure you do not open or damage the casing, as that could impact the battery as well.

When it comes to memory, you have a decent amount to work with. The Palm Pilot Tungsten handheld PDA clocks in with 32MB of Ram, with 29.5 MB of the Ram being accessible to the user. With the Tungsten T2, applications such as the WebPro browser and the VersaMail application have been moved to ROM, freeing up additional resources for your use. All versions of the cheap Palm Pilot T2 Tungsten PDA have an 8 MB ROM chip, which is sufficient to make sure you stay up and running with no problem.

All in all, you will find the discount Palm Pilot T2 Tungsten PDA is a nice combination of style with usability that should serve you well. With enough power to keep you going and with easy to use features, this is one Palm Pilot that you will use for a long time.
