I haven't been in the sony world for some time since I left my 615. I was wondering if there has been an rumors of high end sonys to compete with the T3 due this fall. I would love to see a 615 form factor 320x480 , 128mb, bluetooth or wifi built in.
Any thoughts!!:)

I have recently switched to the TC and love it so far but would love high rez screen and more memory.

Tapwave's Zodiac looks interesting. 320x480, 128MB, Bluetooth. PalmOS 5.2, Mostly a gaming platform, but it fits the bill for what alot of Clie owners have been asking for... Article say's it should be out in Sept for $399... Nothing but UX on the horizon from Sony.

I read someone and wish I could find the article back about sony releasing a T style unit that was OS 5.2 with a 320x480 screen 128mb ram and bluetooth. It was basicly a tg50 minus the keyboard.:(

I wouldn't expect sony to release a new clie with more than 16mb ram. The 320x480 screen is possible, but will they do it? only time will tell. But no way sony is going to make more than 16mb ram when there top of the line $700 UX50 which hasn't even come out yet has only 16mb usable ram.

The new TT3 does look very very tempting though. And so does that new Zodiac with a whooping 128mb Ram. I don't think I could ever fill up that much memory!

Honestly, I've seen pics of the UX50, and it does nothing for me, I'm old fashoned, I like the palms that look like they are tricorders from Star Trek instead of shrunken laptops, but thats just me. :)

How old fashioned are we talking about here?  Certainly not the tricorders on the original Star Trek series back in the late '60s, which were about the size of portable cassette recorders of the their time.

I personally like the look of the laptop style. I use a laptop daily for my main computer and prefer it over my desktop now. I love the look of the tablet PC but they are to expensive yet. The Ux reminds me of a shrunken Tablet PC minus the change over from landscape to portrait mode.

The tricorder is an ugly fat piece of shiz. The P.A.D.D. is a million times cooler. Think Visor Edge with a color screen. ;)

What is a P. A. D. D. ?

The tricorder was cool in the 60's (that is the original one), but hey we are a century closer to the 24th century :)

a PADD in Star Trek is very similar to a TG50. They use them for righting reports for the Captain, writing letters, and reading stuff. They are about the same size and shape of the TG50 though (no flip cover).

More memory?! The T|C has the most amount of (normal) memory of any device out right now!. The UX Ram is all funky b/c of int storage etc while the Zodiac has yet to be released. Don't you own a SD card?

I only have a 32mb card, never thought I would need more then that for backups, my TC has proved me wrong.;)
