PalmInfocenter: Sony Introduces Two Models with Keyboards, MP3 Players

img_Sony_NR70_1_S.jpg Sony Japan has just introduced two new cutting-edge handhelds. The PEG-NR70 and PEG-NR70V both have built-in keyboards and 320 by 480 color screens. They also have built-in MP3 and ATRAC3 audio players. In addition, the PEG-NR70V has a built-in camera.

Palm OS 4.1, 16mb RAM has a 10Mb ROM, April 13 release for the top of the range $456 only in Japan... Why aren't laptops moving closer to this space? I need a phone inside my PowerBook, and a camera. I know I can get a phone card, I already use the infra red port and a Nokia 6210 at 9k, and a kritter. But it isn't something I take to the park with the kids, my Nokia is small enough but the damn key pad and predictive text, no copy/paste...

More to the point, imagine mobile blogging and surfing on the commute home, or intranet knowledge blogging, listening to the hum of the organisation as you're whizzed down the M6 in your chauffeur driven Merc. Maybe 5 years off in technical terms, but, many, many years before it's common place.
