Palm TX
Now users can enjoy the sounds of Jake Coco's hot new single "Graceland" on Palm's latest device, the Palm TX handheld, which hits store shelves today.
In addition to its multimedia capabilities, the Palm TX handheld, affordably priced at $299 (estimated U.S. street price), features integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth(R) wireless technologies, a large, high-resolution color screen and all the power needed to efficiently access and conveniently manage information on the go.
From the LifeDrive(TM) mobile manager to the newest Palm TX handheld, users can enjoy a range of digital entertainment on the go, such as viewing a favorite TV show with MobiTV (sold separately), playing a home video or music video clip, showing off a photo album of a recent trip or listening to MP3s.
"Today, people demand more from their handhelds than the standard applications," said Page Murray, vice president of marketing at Palm. "Multimedia content is the key to making mobile computing interactive and fun."
Palm Z22
For busy people who want to manage every organizational aspect of their lives simply and affordably, it's never been easier than with the Palm(R) Z22 organizer, one of two new products from Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq:PALM) announced today. An easy-to-use and compact color handheld built for the mass market, the Palm Z22 organizer is the most affordable color handheld from Palm yet. At $99 (estimated U.S. street price), it holds thousands of contacts, years of appointments, birthdays and photos, and its special memory capability keeps the information safe, even if the user forgets to charge the device.
With the introduction of the Palm Z22 organizer, Palm is targeting the $1 billion per year paper-planner market. Research conducted by Palm suggests a substantial population of late technology adopters have been afraid to buy handhelds, fearing they are too difficult to use. The Palm Z22 organizer offers paper-planner users -- as well as others -- an extremely simple and fun way to stay organized. New users will find the three-step set-up process for the organizer incredibly easy. Users also will find that keeping track of their to-do lists, busy schedules, family and friends' contact information, shopping lists and birthdays all in one small place is useful and simple. To ease the transition from paper planners to the Palm Z22 organizer, Palm includes an organizational booklet with tips and vignettes on how to be more organized.
Weighing just over 3 ounces and about the same size as a deck of playing cards, the Palm Z22 organizer is compact and stylish with its white front and translucent blue backing. Small enough to fit into any purse, backpack or back pocket, it boasts a bright, color display, making it easy for users to read names and addresses. They can even color-code appointments, and view and carry pictures of their friends and family wherever they go.
"The Palm Z22 organizer was built on the success of the original Zire(TM) handheld, which sold more than 1 million units in its first seven months on the market," said Ken Wirt, senior vice president of worldwide marketing for Palm, Inc. "It's perfect for first-time users and students, who can now throw away their paper planners, replacing scratched-out pages and dozens of sticky notes with all the information they need in one little place."
