Sony's Clié range has included flip-and-swivel PDAs for some time, but the NX73V is the sleekest yet. With its magnesium slate black case, Sony has managed to bring together a huge range of features in a PDA that, while on the large side, is still quite pocketable.Running Palm OS 5 on an Intel PXA263 processor, running at 200MHz, the NX73V has 16 MB or RAM and a 300K pixel camera that supports up to 640 x 480 resolution. However, it's the screen that is the biggest attention-grabber as its capable of 320 pixels of width and 480 of length if you shrink the Graffiti area. Viewing diary dates, or reading files using the supplied Picsel Viewer, which can cope with document types including HTML, PDF and Microsoft Word is a positive experience because the display format is closer to the "portrait" orientation of standard paper and therefore feels better than more usual squarer Palm PDA screens.
There's plenty of other software provided by Sony, which is pre-installed so you don't need to take up any of the RAM to use it. The range runs from an MP3 and ATRAC3 player to an infra red remote control, world alarm clock, handwriting recognition software, digital video and stills viewers, e-mail and SMS applications and software for taking still and moving images with the built-in camera. There is no flash, but you can make settings for indoor and outdoor shots, which should help you get the most out of your images.
There are both Compact Flash and Memory Stick card slots, Bluetooth is built-in, and as is usual with this range from Sony, there is a tiny thumb-tappable keyboard, which, if your fingers are small enough, you can use pretty effectively.
This is an expensive, top-of-the-range Clié, which has plenty of multimedia capability but could also be used to good effect at work. --Sandra Vogel

The Sony Clié SL10 combines the best features that every Palm OS 4 PDA offers with a range of Sony extras, to provide a superb contender in the entry-level PDA category.Sony's extras include a Memory Stick slot which means you can augment the 8 MB RAM, and a 320 x 320 pixel screen. Even on the SL10's greyscale display this is obviously a fine feature. There is also a reasonable bundle of free software from Sony including picture editing, image viewing and drawing tools. Sony steers clear of providing its more advanced freebies like its MP3 player. This is probably a good thing, as the relatively slow 33 MHz Dragonball processor and AAA batteries may not be up to servicing such applications.
You could also call the overall hardware design a Sony extra. This entire device is tiny--on three sides there is hardly space around the edges of the display for any casing, and the space beneath it which houses tiny versions of application shortcut buttons is far smaller than usual. The built in flip over lid provides screen protection, so there is no need to add bulk with a case. Sony finds room for its trademark jog dial wheel on the SL10's left side, and there is infrared provision for beaming this and that to other users. Power is provided by replaceable rather than rechargeable batteries so it is essential to keep a spare set.
The SL10 could find itself becoming popular among those who've thought about a PDA but are put off by the prices. --Sandra Vogel

Sony's PEG-SJ22 features all the hallmarks of classic Sony design; while not going over the top with the range of included applications, it does represent good value for money.Anyone wanting to spend less than £150 on a PDA has until now had a strictly limited range of choices; however, Sony has addressed this with the release of the SJ22. The overall size and weight of the unit is diminutive, and it should slip comfortably into most pockets. The hardware is barely larger than the screen, which at 55 mm x 55 mm is the same as most Palm PDAs. A few millimetres on each side and at the top of the hardware are all the casing allows, with a little more than 20 mm at the bottom to accommodate four application shortcut buttons and a tiny rocker for scrolling around. This latter button is a tad fiddly to use, but there is a jog dial wheel and a Back button on the left side of the casing, which between them make the rocker pretty much redundant.
Running Palm OS 4 and driven by a Motorola Dragonball VZ running at 22MHz, the Clié PEG-SJ22 has adequate power for most general PDA users. Its 16 MB of RAM should accommodate most contact lists and diary databases, and if you need to add more memory there is a Memory Stick slot. The 320 x 320 resolution display is clear and easy to read, and battery life is competent for a Palm at this price, with Sony quoting up to 12 days for the average user who makes 30 minutes of usage per day usage with backlight set off.
Sony provides a smaller range of applications than you'll find on some of its more expensive PDAs, but the range is nevertheless fairly good, and includes PhotoStand and PictureGear Pocket both for viewing digital images, the Kinoma player for watching digital movies, CliePaint for drawing your own graphics and World Alarm Clock. --Sandra Vogel

Having already dipped its toe into the ocean that is the PDA market with the PEG-SN770C and the PEG-S300 models, Sony has now jumped in with a second-generation monochrome model, the PEG-T425. Featuring the same 33MHz Dragonball processor, high-resolution 320x320 monochrome screen and jog wheel functionality, 8 MB of internal RAM, the latest version of the Palm OS (v. 4.1) and a super-slim aluminium body.Very similar in design to Sony's previous monochrome model, the PEG-T425 features the same jog dial button, allowing for easy one-handed navigation around applications. The scroll buttons have been replaced with a tiny rocker switch, which isn't as good as the original buttons. The memory stick slot has been retained allowing for increased expandability. Battery life runs at about 15 days before a re-charge is required. However, this does depend entirely on how much you use the PDA. The stand-out feature has to be the high-resolution screen--the images are sharp and detailed, while the text is super-smooth. It makes other PDA displays look positively archaic.
The PEG-T425 has lots of little pluses that make it stand out from the rest. It sits in the cradle nicely and it doesn't make a horrible crunching sound when it's removed--unlike some PDAs. CLIÉ specific applications such as the AV Remote Commander, World Alarm--that allows you to use your own sound files and Sound is fun to play around with. While those of you wanting to do some serious work will be pleased with Documents to Go and Intellisync Lite. The latest version of the Palm OS includes easier data entry and enhanced security and mobile connectivity.
The PEG-T425 is the best monochrome Palm OS-based PDA on the market at the moment. With its bright screen, superior sound quality and super sleek body, it looks and sounds like the bee's knees. However, the flip-over screen protector does have a tendency to detach from the unit and the re-designed scroll button is completely unusable. In all, it's a mean-looking machine that performs as well as it looks and well worth splashing out on.--Martin Snelling

The Clie PEG-S300 is Sony's first attempt at a PDA. It has chosen to use Palm's operating system, rather than Microsoft's Pocket PC, and to launch its first PDA with a monochrome rather than a colour screen. While Pocket PC and colour screens may be seen by some as the more glamorous end of the PDA market, the PEG-S300 is one example that shows this is not always the case. Sony has, as it always does with its hardware, put design at the forefront, and the silver and blue casing is eye catching while the PDA is small, slim and sleek.Usability is, of course, just as important as looks when it comes to PDAs. Sony's use of a jog-dial button helps you select applications and data one-handed, reducing the need to reach for the stylus and tap at the screen. When it comes to augmenting the 8 MB of on board RAM, the PEG-S300 has a Memory Stick slot. Memory Stick is Sony's proprietary data-storage format, and is not as widely supported as the Compact Flash or MultiMedia Card formats. But if you are already a user of other Sony Memory Stick devices then the slot, and the 8 MB Memory Stick, which is thrown in, will be useful.
The Dragonball processor that powers the PEG-S300 runs at 20 MHz--not as fast as some, but fine if all you want to do is use the device for standard PDA-type work. The PEG-S300 runs Palm OS 3.5--not the more up to date Palm OS 4, but the changes in the later version do not add anything too momentous to the Palm applications suite. A more important issue, perhaps, might be the life expectancy of the internal Lithium Ion battery, which Sony quotes as lasting for just 15 days between recharges. To overcome this rather poor specification, the PEG-S300 comes with both a docking cradle (USB), and separate mains adaptor, the latter providing a charge when you are away from your main PC.
The Clie PEG-S300 is not a state-of-the-art PDA. But it is a stylish one, and the Memory Stick support will appeal to fans of that medium. It is also, it should be noted, reasonably priced. --Sandra Vogel
