Tungsten E discontinued at Staples. New model on the way?

[Andrew Franklin]

The Tungsten E has been discontinued at Staples. See link:

Does this mean that there is a new Tungsten coming?

Chances are that there is another on the way, but it will not be announced until March if palmOne holds true to form. Seeing that the site you reference is Staples Canada, it might also be that they did not get any new shipments of TEs becasue it is nearing end of life.

My guess is a TE with more RAM, non-volitle RAM, and it would be nice to see it with BT, but I do not think that palmOne will be *smart/*kool* enough to do BT on a $200 PDA.

Um, it doesnt mean anything that it was discontinued. In the US, almost all major retailers have stopped carrying PDAs. Even BB only carries about 3 or so in their stores.

But if that were the case, then Staples would not offer
any PDAs on their Web site. FWIW, the U.S. Staples site shows 1-day availability of the E; my random sampling of other PDAs on the site show them in stock, as well. The E is due for replacement fairly soon, I would think, but, at least in the U.S., it's not yet.

TE2 is already here...
See Daves PDA place for more details, or see my blog for a nice comparison/interpretation of the device...
