hiko Guest Posts: n/a	ux80 ?? Shortly after placing my pre order for the ux-50 I heard a rumors about the new ux-80 with a 2.0 mega pixel cam and faster processor, also with the ability to read the new memory sticks (obviously not released yet) that will be in 2, and5 Gb sizes. If you search google on ux80, you can find a couple of discussions regarding it but all in Japanese so I couldn’t make much out of them. Does anyone know anything else about this model???

If you're worried about a new UX80 version, then you should probably cancel your order since something new will be out around April of 2004. I will buy now since it's a tax right-off for next year. <]=P __________________ I be a hearty pirate that plunders many waffles.

I'm also hoping for a beutiful LED upgrade like the UX100 link provided by ScottG. <]=) __________________ I be a hearty pirate that plunders many waffles.

edeab220 My T\|X is my friend... Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: South NJ Posts: 673	UX80? haha...the specs that you said you heard that were on the UX80 sound like it came from the BestBuy site . When BB first put the UX40 and UX50 on their website, they claimed that it had a 2MP camera and a 400MHz CPU. They still say it's 400MHz, but they changed the specs on the camera Look, don't even think about the "UX80" now. Keep your UX50, and you'll be as happy as can be. __________________ Senior Editor and Webmaster of PalmForums. Check out my Palm OS-focused podcast at PalmForums.org!

I believe you must blame on Sony for this expectation, by releasing new gadgets every six months or less, that's the dark side of the consumer market ideology.... Come on, the NX70 doesn't have a year, and it's allready obsolete...

dkosak I want a Sony SDR Robot! Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: Boston Posts: 116	I'm on the waiting list for the UX100. It's supposed to ship on or before September 12th, 2005. What hooked me was the 3.1 digit display interface as per Scott's link. I wonder if it's transflective -- or one of those new "Organic LED" types... - Don

I'm with stronggeek.  No lanyard holder, no sale.

Organic or not - don't know.

LED - Yes, I am sure it is LED.

Avisionary Senior Member Join Date: May 2003 Location: London, Canada Posts: 103	Will the rudder be included with the unit or will we have to buya it separately? What about software? I currently own Rudder 1.0 - will I have to buy the upgrade or will the new Rudder be backwards compatable? What about future upgrades? Will we be able to run Rudder 3.0 on the UX100 or will Sony screw us again and not provide an upgrade path?
