There was no model "T4", probably because the four is considered an unlucky number in some Asian countries (see here ). The T-series includes business handhelds with a lot of memory and a fast processor, as well as Bluetooth for interaction with mobile phones in particular . That is why a dialing program and an SMS application are usually also supplied. The C-Series is aimed at business users that the Organizer in the corporate network or public hotspots use: WiFi is installed and an e-mail - client , an HTML - browser and VPN client are included in the operating system integrated.
E series
The E series is the entry-level business handheld. Compared to the Zire entry-level handhelds, there is no camera , but a relatively large amount of memory and a high-resolution display (the Tungsten E has been around since 2003, and the Zire 72 came out in 2004, which even has improved capabilities compared to the Tungsten & nbspE). With the Tungsten W, Palm tried its hand at a smartphone for the first time. A further development of the series is probably not to be expected, since Palm bought the company Handspring and developed their smartphone series Treo (Treo 650 and following).
Palm T | X
On October 11, 2005, Palm released a new top model, the T | X, which can be classified as part of the Tungsten series due to its performance characteristics. He has 32 MB RAM and 128 MB memory, a 312- MHz - XScale - processor (the processor was clocked in favor of a longer battery life lower than usual), Bluetooth , WLAN , infrared touch-sensitive screen with 320 × 480 pixels , the display is to better display of presentations and tables as well as photos and videos can also rotate. In contrast to the Palm models with a square display, here - as with the T3 and T5 - even the graffiti input field can be hidden in order to have even more effective display area. Palm has continued this development with the media devices of the LifeDrive series.
