The first is the "PEG-TH55" which has integrated wireless LAN (802.11b) and a .31MP camera. The second is the "PEG-TJ37," an upgrade from the "PEG-TJ25." This o­ne also adds a .31MP camera, but no wireless LAN capabilities.



Sony Marketing presented that the Clie "PEG-TH55," with wireless LAN (802.11b) capabilities, as well as a camera, will be released o­n February 14th. While it is officially Open Price, indicators suggest it will cost around 40,000 yen.

PEG-TH55 with IEEE 802.11b standard wireless LAN integrated

The "PEG-TH55" includes o­nboard support for 802.11b standard wireless LAN, and it also supports 64/128bit WEP security. Also, the OS is Palm OS Ver.5.2.1, and the CPU is developed by Sony, the "Handheld Engine." Internal RAM and ROM are 32MB.

On the reverse side of the device, there is a CMOS image sensor, which supports taking still images. It includes a digital zoom, as well as 5 brightness levels, white balance, etc.. Recording resolution is at 640 x 480. Files are saved in the JPEG format. Also, it has a mono mic and Memory Stick slot, so music and movies recorded o­nto a Memory Stick can be played back.

This device also includes the newly developed "Clie Organizer" software. In addition to allowing users to write directly o­n their contact list and schedule displays, they can insert sound and/or image files into the organizer, making for easy identification.










The main display has a maximum resolution of 320 x 480 dots, and is a TFT color display supporting 65,536 colors. It interfaces with USB and infrared, and also has a headphone jack.

The main body size is 73.3 x 15.7 x 121.5 (W x D x H), and it weighs 185g. There is an internal lithium ion polymer rechargeable battery, which can supposedly operate schedule and contact list functions (backlight off, 30 minutes of use per day) for 15 days, and wireless LAN can be used for 17 days. The main body color is "Egz Black," though there is a limited production "Celeb Red" also available.

Step up from "PEG-TJ25," the "PEG-TJ37"

Sony Marketing will also release the "PEG-TJ37," an upgrade to the "PEG-TJ25," o­n February 14th. It is also Open Price, but indicators suggest it to be around 30,000 yen.

When compared to the "PEG-TJ25," this model adds a .31MP CMOS image sensor, and a memory stick slot. However, unlike the "PEG-TH55," this unit does not include wireless LAN capabilities, a mic, or the "Clie Organizer" software.

The main body size is 75 x 13.2 x 113mm (W x D x H) and weighs 145g. It includes a lithium ion polymer internal rechargeable battery, which can operate the schedule and contact list functions (with backlight turned off, 30 minutes of use each day) for 10 days, and it can playback music files for 6.5 hours. Also, there are three body colors available: Platina Silver, Capri Blue, and Sienna Orange.



Sony Marketing will also release the the "PEGA-ST10," which is a stylus for input, as well as a red/black ballpoint pen, for around 2,000 yen. They will also release a Franklin Covy binder "FCJ-100" that can fit either PEG-TJ37 or PEG-TJ25 for around 20,000 yen.
