CNET product brief

Description: This Palm Tungsten E2 is a Palm OS-based, consumer-oriented handheld device.Compared to other consumer-oriented handhelds on the market, it is inexpensive at around $220.You can expand the memory of this unit using Secure Digital (SD), or MMC media.

Pros: Weighs just 4.7 ounces weight, which is considerably relatively lighter than some similarly priced handhelds.Also, this handheld has a 320x320 screen resolution.This is higher than the average handheld on the market today, but is to be expected for a handheld of this price.

Cons: Offers only IrDA and Bluetooth wireless capability.This is not out of line with the product's price, but is less favorable than the average handheld on the market today.

Suitability: A consumer-oriented handheld, suited for every-day use.Also, its display, supporting 64,000 colors at 320x320 resolution, makes it good for viewing color images.However, you can use the Bluetooth capability of this device to connect to cell phones and other devices that are similarly enabled.

Value: Given its inexpensive price, this handheld has great features for the money.

Suggestions: (1) If you think you'll enter large amounts of data, consider purchasing an external portable keyboard for your PDA.(2) If you plan to synchronize data and documents with Microsoft office, consider an appplication such as Documents To Go ( a basic version of it may be included in the packaged software bundle -- see merchant listings for details).
