Product Series: TG
Processor Technology: XScale
Strengths: Solid performer, jog dial, screen resolution and contract, color is excellent. Metal case is solid. Palm OS5 included. Battery life is great!
Weakness: Screen is a bit LESS sensitive than PALM's, barely noticeable screen illumination bar at the bottom of the screen.
This is the 6th or 7th Palm OS PDA I've owned. This is the first SONY version however. I think SONY simply makes a better consumer quality PDA that runs PalmOS. They have done everything right. The only thing you'll need to get used to is the slightly thicker design (compared to Palm Vx or M515 for instance) and the vertical flip top cover (versus the Palm style horizontal book-style cover)....
Strengths: Bright high resolution screen, a wealth of included software, decent built-in keyboard, good battery life, solid construction, great launcher program, good integration w/ Memory Stick, voice recorder
Weakness: Cover could be designed to flip open easier (with one hand); keyboard could use a shift key on the right hand side; would like to have had productivity software included.
The TG-50 is a solid, well designed PDA, like the N series Clies, but smaller. I had no problems installing the software and getting it to hotsync with Outlook. The included Picsel viewer software does read a variety of file formats (eg. Word, Excel) but it does not allow them to be edited and it requires a bit of fiddling with the document size to make them legible. Fortunately, other software...
Strengths: Beautiful screen wonderful softwear convinient keyboard
Weakness: hard to figure out how to set up hotsync
I love this pda but i cant figure out how to set up hotsync with my computer if you can help me IM me at Hgihkcin or e mail me at Hgihkcin@cs.com
Strengths: look's nice.
Weakness: It doesn't work!
The SONY TG-50 PDA does not synchronize with MS Outlook as advertised. This is not an isolated problem. I have seen many postings on the Internet concerning this issues. SONY does not have a solution. I have a DELL Notebook running Windows XP and Outlook 2002 over a standard office network. I have spoken to SONY Tech Support 4 times for over 6 hours!! I have reinstalled every piece of related...
Strengths: This little thing does everything I wanted in a Personal Entertainment Organizer and more. For the price you get more options that you would think, plus it is a sony
Weakness: It doesn't come with the headphones ... shoot, you have to buy some nice headphones for the MP3 player.
I recieved my CLIE in less than 3 days, It had everything I wanted in a CLIE plus lots of other cool options. You can control your TV, VCR, DVD player, Tuner, and more with your PEO?!?! Definatelly worth the time and money it took finding this wonderful tool. It doesn't have a camera, but do you really need a camera on your PEO?

Sony TG50 CLIE PDA
Strengths: Backlit keyboard, Bluetooth, Looks, Screen Quality, Audio Quality.
Weakness: NONE
I originally started my PDA adventure with a Palm Vx (that I won at a convention) and then I upgraded to a Sony SL10 (which I got for $20 because Sony messed up on the rebate), which didn't work so well because I went through a lot of t triple A batteries. Now I got a TG50 (as a gift) and I absolutely love it. I use it more during the day than my computer. And it looks a lot better than it does...
