Review summary Palm's entry-level handheld now has more memory and a faster processor. The Palm Tungsten T3 combines powerful business and multimedia features with a Schwarzenegger-size screen. With a high-resolution color screen, a sleek design, an expansion card slot, and a $199 price tag, the Tungsten E will hit the handheld sweet spot for many consumers.
