New rumors of PalmOne Tungsten|T4

Between the new Treo information, and now rumors about a Tungsten|T4, the starting gun has officially been fired for rumors and speculation about PalmOne's Autumn release season. The T4 rumors in question actually conflict, one set coming from site "atmaspheric endeavors", the other from a user at PalmInfoCenter.

The AE specs claim that the T4 will have Palm OS 6.0, a.k.a. Cobalt; a 450 MHz Intel XScale processor; built-in Bluetooth and 802.11G WiFi; 96 MB of memory (84 MB usable); and an 1100 milliamp-hour battery. The claimed retail price would be $459.

I'll run through the problems with this in no particular order. For one, there is no 450 MHz XScale in the PXA270 line. You can get a 416 MHz, but not 450. This isn't a fatal hit, because when you're dealing with slightly odd processor speeds like this it's common for people to sometimes round them off. 416 could become 450 if someone weren't paying attention. 96 MB of memory seems like an odd number--if they wanted to increase it, 128 MB would be the next logical step.

My biggest problem with this is the 802.11G WiFi. For one thing, PalmOne barely even has a single model with the more common 802.11B. For another, truly compact G hardware has only reached the practical level recently--so recently that the WiFi-G CompactFlash card isn't even out yet.

The PIC specs are more conservative in many ways, citing 64 MB RAM, Bluetooth only, an ATI graphics chip, dual SD slots--one of which supports SDIO--and Palm OS 6. Claimed retail price is $400. Actually, other than OS 6, this sounds pretty much exactly like the Tapwave Zodiac. That in itself is rather suspicious to me, but there's nothing about this rumor that is particularly problematic.

And last, but not least, a HP vem ai com uma fornada de pda's muito fixes, entre os quais destaco o ipaq 6300, um pda com telemóvel, ao estilo qtek 2020 :)

The HP iPAQ 6300 will be the first PDA to include virtually every wireless option there is: quad band GSM/GPRS, Bluetooth and 802.11b (WiFi). The phone will be able to be used almost everywhere, while the WiFi option will allow rapid data transfer at Hotspots or personal/corporte networks. The Bluetooth option supports wireless headset profiles and will enable the connection to other Bluetooth devices like printers. The release date is expected to be July 27 for this device but could possibly be earlier.

(o manual incompleto do pda tem umas 120 páginas :D)

This is of course the convergent device most talked about this year to date. The GSM/GPRS wireless is a Quad Band system covering 850/900/1800/1900 making this truly a world phone. An optional snap on keyboard will make this a SMSing machine. It will reportedly come with rubberized side grips, hopefully this won't be like the 2210's design. Also included is to be a Leather protective case..

gonx_me disse:
e esses PDA's a 600 e tal Mhz conseguem-se pegar sem queimar os dedos? São mais uma replica pequena de PressHOT?


LOL

Ná.. não só não queimam os dedos como tambem dão para fazer overclock.
São CPUs com relativamente poucos transistores feitos de proposito para gastar o minimo de energia possível..
Os XScale nem unidade de vírgula flutuante têm.. (como comparação, o athlonxp tem 4). A performance por Mhz é muito reduzida.. Por exemplo um XScale PXA250 a 400Mhz tem uma performance semelhante a um 486 DX2 a 90Mhz.
