PalmOne Delivers Allin-One Mobile Manager
As one of the
pioneers in handheld
technology, palmOne
Inc. (www.palmone.com) broke
away from its traditional product
focus last month with the introduction
of its LifeDrive mobile
manager, an all-in-one system
with solutions for all of your
administrative and entertainment
needs. LifeDrive comes
with a 4 GB (3.85 GB available to
user) hard drive; an Intel 416
MHz XScale processor; built-in
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies;
a 320 x 480 high-resolution
color display with portrait or
landscape viewing; and support
for Microsoft Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, and Adobe Acrobat
files. It also has
a “smart” file
management
system that
features folder
sync (which
automatically
updates
selected files
when syncing),
and drag-anddrop
file
transfer functions.
In addition --
with its expansion card
slot which supports SD, SDIO
and MultiMediaCard formats—
the LifeDrive offers users an easy
way to share movies, MP3 files,
and photos in one compact
device that has an estimated street
price of $499.
