Palm Introduces New Consumer-Level PDA - Timekeeper
"In a move to bolster its control of the consumer-level PDA market, Palm, Inc. has introduced a new low-end PDA, named Timekeeper. The sleek new handheld sports the typical size Palm screen and a minimal interface of four buttons - Date Set, Time Set, Up, and Down."
How do you guys feel the Pocket PC platform should respond?

Correct - the article is not new. I just thought this would be an opportune time to report on it.

Tungsten C
An employee at an electronics retailer is reporting that the Tungsten C now appears in the company inventory database. This will be a high-end model with built-in Wi-Fi wireless networking.
The Tungsten C will run a 400 MHz Intel XScale processor. It is not yet known if this will be the new PXA255 with the faster bus. It will have 64 MB of RAM and run Palm OS 5.2.1.
It will be the first Palm OS model to have integrated Wi-Fi (802.11b) wireless networking, which will allow it to connect to wireless Internet access points and exchange data at up to 11 Mbps at up to 300 feet.
Externally, this device is supposed to look much like the Tungsten W, including using a built-in keyboard instead of Graffiti. It will also have an SD/MMC slot and use the Universal Connector. The size and weight of this device is not yet known.
The Tungsten C is listed in this electronic store's database as costing $500.

[Dumb guy voice] Uh, do you have to set the time and date yourself, or does it use 80Blue.11-something to do it for you...? [/dumb guy voice]
