HANDHELDS

News: Talk About Tungsten

The rumor mill was cranking overtime recently on Palm's new Tungsten C. Exact specifications weren't available as of this writing, but the C will reportedly cost about $500 and could be a communicator, such as the recently released Tungsten W. The C should be available by the time you read this.

News: Speed Can Kill

Attention speed freaks, there are software applets available that let you jack up the clock speed of your PDA's processor. XScaleCtrl from Wibble-wobble.com and Clear Speed from Revolutionary Software Front let you adjust processor speed from 100 MHz to 500 MHz just by clicking a few buttons. But PDA makers (not surprisingly) and others warn of serious consequences resulting from this performance enhancment. Faster clock speeds increase power consumption, shorten battery life, and add to the heat the PDA emits, which in turn can cause system failure and the loss of critical data. Also, if your handheld breaks while using a speed-increasing program, your warranty will be voided.

News: An Eye for the Axim

Dell Axim owners can now take pictures with their Pocket PC, thanks to the Veo Photo Traveler. The new model for Axim handhelds is priced at $100, fits into the PDA's CompactFlash slot, and lets you take snapshots at 640 by 480 resolution.
