Over time, I've seen a post here and there in regards to drivers and applications for the NZ90.

As ClieSource continues to grow and consumers purchase the wonderful PEG-NZ90, I thought I would provide the site, and current software updates for all.

The official update site by sony for the PEG-NZ90 is:

Sony Support - Sony CLIÉ Handheld PEG-NZ90 Software Updates (http://www.ita.sel.sony.com/support/clie/nz90/softupdates/)

There are currently (as of 7:30am (US-Pacific Time) on Wednesday May 21, 2003) 9 Software/Driver Updates on the Sony Support Site for the NZ90. The Updates Listed, I believe, are for US Based Sony PEG-NZ90 Handhelds. You may need to check elsewhere for different language Handheld Driver/Software Updates.


Below here are the Updates Available:

Palm™ Desktop 4.1 for CLIÉ Software Alarm Manager Update - 04/29/03 (http://www.ita.sel.sony.com/bin/support/support.cgi?whichone=1&installfile=pdt41alarmpatch.txt&downloadfile=PDT41ALARMPATCH.EXE&loc=2)

Several of the files ... have a ENUS in the filename ... which would indicate English-US version. I cannot verify they work in other HandHelds out there. I do know they work in the US versions. Sorry I don't have any more information on other Language NZs. They may in fact work... I just didn't want anyone/everyone to put it on their handheld... and it cause issues if the files I listed from SONY's site are for US PEG-NZ90 Handhelds. :)

Million dollar question! My NZ90 was purchased in Canada. Usually they are identical to the US versions. All my past models have been. However I do not have the Columns software for Clie Update. What is it?

On the home page of ClieSource on the right side, there is a listing of the various Sony support sites. Some stuff works on all, others are region specific, the MS Pro driver is one example :).

I sometimes forget that it's a worldwide audience, so I have to be careful how I word my statements :).

It's a game update for an older version of Columns. If you have the Sony game contoller, the updated game is already included.

Is the Canadian drivers the same as US? Since the Canadian support site goes directly to the US website. Has anyone who has a Canadian NZ90 updated theirs with the US drivers?

Canadian Clie = US Clie. No difference what so ever. I've installed updates from Europe and the US with no problems what so ever.

Now suppose your in a French speaking part of Canada, would you get a EuroClie version? Your statement may hold true for some updates. A few have had trouble with downloading the right MS Pro driver for example.

Yes Larry your quite right. I keep forgetting about that odd place in Eastern Canada called Quebec. You have two options there. Standard North American Clie with English OS. OR a Clie with the French OS installed. It's this version of the OS that really get's ugly with English versions of patchs etc. Most of the english patches do not work on the French OS. Thus you would be stuck with updates from Europe alone. If someone has had any luck getting english updates to run on the French OS please post.
