A new handheld from Sony combines the T415C's ultraslim design with the high-resolution color display of the N600C. The new unit uses the newest version of Palm's OS, and comes with a range of optional accessories, including a digital camera and a GPS receiver.

Sony is becoming the new king of the PalmOS-market, as they constantly push new models with innovative features such as the MP3-player found on the N760C and the 320x320 screen resolution found on all Clié-models. Today they released another handheld, named Clié PEG-N600C. The new model is approximately the same size as the slim PEG-T415 released by Sony a month ago, but comes with a range of improvements over the first one, including a 16-bit color display.

The T600C uses the classic Motorola DragonBall VZ 33 MHz processor found in most PDAs, and runs PalmOS 4.1. For expansion, it uses Sony's patented Memory Sticks, and it communicates via IR or the USB-connection found in its cradle. Like the T415, it comes with software for using it as an remote control, and it comes with a mail client, web browser and alarm clock as well.

What really makes the T600C stand out from the pack, is its pack of Memory Stick expansion packages. The first expansion you can use is a Memory Stick-based GPS receiver, that can be used with maps to pinpoint your exact position anywhere on the planet with good precition. Another possibility is a new MP3-module that can be bought separately for both the T600C and its sibling, the T415.

Even more exciting is the possibility to outfit the handheld with a digital camera through its Memory Stick-slot. The camera just supports 160x120 and 320x240 resolutions, but can be used for taking low-res images anywhere. Both this expansion module and the GPS receiver can be used with all of Sony's current handhelds, including the T400, T600C, N600C and N700C-series. The new handheld and its expansion gear is expected to be available internationally within January.
