Is anyone using the new Sony PEG-NZ90 or similar Clie model?

[Eric Mack]

I'm working on a new action system for mobile [wireless] devices, and the Sony, while higher priced than most PDAs, looks like the Cadillac model in terms of features. I've not been to town to see one yet, so I thought I would ask here first.

I'm specifically looking for experiences using Bluetooth to Hotsync sand
upload/download of voice clips and mp3's. If anyone has experience to
share about using these with 802.11 networks, that would be great too.

Thanks,

Eric,

I recently upgraded from a Palm V to a Sony Clie NZ90 (what a difference) and have successfully hotsynched with both the bluetooth and WiFi card and web browsed with WiFi.

To gain network access to a PC (for copying mp3s without hotsynching) I believe you will need something like MochaPPP which you can find at www.mochasoft.dk/palm.html. I have not tried this myself yet.

The best source of information on the subject of the NZ90 is the user forum at www.cliesource.com

Good luck
Lawrence

re: your question. I've been using an NZ-90 running Shadow, to do GTD on the fly. The NZ-90 is fantastic for this. But it is a bit bulky.

I haven't used the Bluetooth yet... but the Wi-Fi card works great for accessing the web and email from Starbucks, or around the house.

Just seen this post, hope I'm not too late to reply...

There is another post 'Which PDA is best' to which I posted the following re the NZ90:

I haven't had any Wi-Fi experience but have hooked it upto my phone via Bluetooth successfully.

It is bulky but it does far more than other PDAs. I's still less bulky than having to carry a PDA and a camera.... :lol:

I use the HP iPAQ 5000 series. It will do everything you're looking for without expensive cards--and it's a lot cheaper!.
