Palm Tungsten
The Tungsten series was Palm, Inc.'s line of business-class Palm OS-based PDAs.
The Tungsten series was introduced in October 2002, created as a "prosumer" line priced at $199 to $300 to compete with the popular Sony Clie and Windows Mobile PDAs. The first device in the line is the Tungsten T, making it the first Palm PDA to be labeled with a letter rather than a number and to run Palm OS 5.
All of the Tungsten PDAs have a few attributes in common:
All models except the Tungsten C, W, and E have built-in Bluetooth wireless capabilities, while the Tungsten C and TX feature built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. Furthermore, by using the optional Palm Wi-Fi SDIO cards Card accessory, the T3, T5, and E2 can also gain Wi-Fi connectivity.
With the exception of the Tungsten W, all Tungsten PDAs run Palm OS 5 "Garnet" on an ARM processor and have non-user-replaceable lithium-ion batteries. Some users replaced battery packs with third-party units.[citation needed] The T3, for example, shipped with a 900 mAh capacity battery but third-party 1100 mAh or 1150 mAh LI-poly batteries of the same physical dimensions were available.[citation needed] Tungsten models used a five-way navigator pad, in the shape of a rounded rectangle, circle, or oval and had four buttons for built-in applications.
The Palm Universal Connector is used by the Tungsten T, Tungsten T2, Tungsten T3, Tungsten C, Tungsten W, for cradles and accessories, while the Tungsten E uses a mini-USB connection; the Tungsten T5, Tungsten E2 and TX used an Athena Connector also known as the Palm Multi-Connector.
All Tungsten handhelds come bundled with Dataviz's Documents To Go office suite and some version of Kinoma Player, with the exception of the Tungsten W.
Palm's Tungsten E was the cheapest of the Tungsten series, and as such, has been one of the most successful.[citation needed] It has 32 megabytes of memory, a Texas Instruments OMAP (ARM) 126 MHz processor, a 2+1⁄8-by-2+1⁄8-inch (54 mm × 54 mm) transreflective TFT screen, and ran Palm OS 5.2.1. It is 4.5 by 3.1 by 0.5 in (114 by 79 by 13 mm), and weighs 4.6 ounces (130 g).
