A friend mentioned that Sony just announced the “early May” availability of the new Sony Clie PEG-NR70V and PEG-NR70 in the US. The NR70V is a next generation PDA from Sony the features a unique clamshell design, rotating color screen, built-in camera and keyboard, and (finally!) a virtual grafitti area. Read the PowerPage story from 18 March for more background and pictures.
From SonyStyle:
The new CLIE handheld is the ultimate in handheld convergence. Take pictures with the built-in digital camera (NR70V only), listen to MP3 files, display videos & images, plus keep your date book and contact list organized – all in one stylish unit.
The unique swivel LCD design lets you choose your preferred method of text entry – use the stylus to enter data directly on the screen, or flip and rotate the screen (180 degrees) for access to the built-in QWERTY keyboard.
Prices are:
- PEG-NR70V (with camera): US$599.99
- PEG-NR70: US$499.99
