I note that since the Tungsten has been released, the price has dropped CAN$200.00.

I noticed today that Palm is now GIVING away a camera that fits in the TT slot. I believe the camera resolution is similar to the NX.

Anyone heard of Sony doing something to respond to the price cut/addons of Palm?

Consumers are pretty much stonewalling the Tungsten right now. You've heard that expression, "You couldn't give them away if you tried," right? ;)

Not saying the NX is setting sales records, but it's obviously selling to expectations.

I've seen one, besides a smaller screen, I thought it looked ok and battery seems to last and last.

the thing wit the camera is...it takes up the SD slot, so it can't take movies (or if it does, then not long ones).

Mmm ... that's odd ... why is it that practically every person I have met recently (who have just bought a PDA), have bought a Tungsten ... and they seem to be dlighted with it.

I have a Clie 760 and TT.

Amazon lists TT's at $289 US. Only 9 dollars more than their SJ33!

That's fine for you guys over in the US ... but the rest of us have usually to pay full price for quite a while before prices drop down. Elsewhere in the world the TT is still demanding premium prices.

TT in the UK is already down to about £270 which is very surprising as most things usually stay at full price here almost until they're no longer available anywhere else.

Yes the UK is so expensive. It's good that it's been reduced ... but it's still way over $400 dollars when converted from Sterling.
