MSNBC previews the Palm Tungsten TX and writes - ‘I will tell you about what’s inside the TX: In addition to the wireless and big screen, there’s an Intel 312MHz processor, 128MB of flash memory and a SD Card external memory slot. By the way, that’s an SDIO (I for in and O for out) which means it can handle future devices as well as memory cards. On the outside, the device is 4.76 by 3.08 by 0.61 inches and weighs 5.25 ounces.’
Palm Info Center reviews the Palm Tungsten TX Handheld and writes - ‘The Palm T|X is an affordable and desirable handheld at $299. The wait is over for an reasonably priced handheld with Wi-Fi in a compact form factor. The T|X combines a incredible amount of features an capabilities at an outstanding debut price.’
Bargain PDA reviews the Palm Tungsten TX and writes - ‘Despite the dumber design problems, I like the style and build of the TX. It’s well built, feels good in the hand, and it’s hard to argue with black. The flaring on the bottom could be a little more subtle for my taste, but it still holds well. I can’t stand the power button, but some things you just can’t change.’
CNET Reviews has reviewed the Palm Tungsten TX and writes - ‘ When Palm released its LifeDrive in May, we were thrilled that the company finally integrated Wi-Fi into one of its PDAs. Unfortunately, when we saw the wallet-stretching price tag, the celebration was short lived. Now, it appears we can put our party hats back on, because the new Palm TX offers a more affordable solution ($299) that should please a wide range of users, both professional and casual. Aside from built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the TX crams a long list of features and solid performance into a sleek package that can go head-to-head with its Pocket PC counterparts, such as the Dell Axim X51 and the HP iPaq rx1950. In other Palm news, the company dropped the price of its Palm Tungsten E2 to $199, so if you don’t need Wi-Fi, the E2 is a good option.’
Computerworld reviews the Palm Tungsten TX and writes - ‘Palm’s new TX sacrifices some of the storage and processing power of its predecessor, the Tungsten T5, in exchange for wi-fi and a lower price. The result: more bang for the buck…. 4 stars out of 5 - Stylish PDA has beautiful screen, wi-fi, and ample storage, though not as much as its predecessor.’
The Register reviews the Palm TX Wi-Fi PDA and writes - ‘Adding Wi-Fi brings the T|X up to the connectivity standard I expect from a PDA these days, incorporating 100MB of user accessible memory is a wise decision, and offering a range of software from office productivity to entertainment is a shrewd move that should help Palm capture plenty of interest. Usability is good for a handheld with such a shortage of buttons, with the icon bar and Favourites applications playing a strong part here.’
The Age reviews the Palm Tungsten TX and writes - ‘When compared with the cheapest Dell and HP models equipped with Wi-Fi (802.11b) wireless connectivity, the TX is at least $100 cheaper. No mean feat considering that, until recently, Palm refrained from including this wireless option…. While the latter handhelds typically offer an enormous number of features in a less intuitive interface, Palm’s new top-line model has retained the simplicity for which the company’s PDAs are famous.’
