palmOne Unveils Refined Tungsten E2

By Nate Mook | Published April 13, 2005, 11:43 AM

palmOne on Wednesday took the wraps off its latest Tungsten handheld, the Bluetooth-enabled E2. The second revision sports a brighter 320x320 screen, 32MB of Flash memory, and wireless capabilities. Battery life has also been given a boost.

But palmOne didn't just focus on internal improvements with the Tungsten E2, hoping to attract more style-conscious PDA consumers.

"This sleek, stylish device is the perfect handheld to take into the boardroom or the classroom," said Ken Wirt, senior vice president of worldwide marketing for palmOne. "With the versatile Tungsten E2, customers get more of what they want -- Bluetooth, and a brighter, richer color screen that brings calendar, contacts, documents, photos and videos to life."

The E2 runs a 200MHz Intel XScale processor and includes 26MB of usable space in its 32MB internal memory. However, users can add more storage or multimedia capabilities using the Tungsten's SD expansion slot.

palmOne has priced the Tungsten E2 at $249 USD, and the handheld is available for sale via the company's online store.
