[00:00:00]A new PDA from PalmOne.
[00:02:81]Bloomberg Boot Camp, a report on today's technology.
[00:05:77]One of the problems with PDAs for years has been... if you forget to charge the battery on them... you risk losing all of your data.
[00:12:86]Appointments, phone numbers, memos... all your stuff.
[00:15:88]The latest device from PalmOne... the Tungsten T5, does away with those worries.
[00:21:13]Director of product management Stephane Maes...
[00:24:17]This is the first handheld product where if your battery dies down, the memory stays.
[00:28:88]So there's been a lot of people in the past who said, oh I have a friend who had a handheld and he lost all of his data because he didn't charge and he didn't sync for a long period of time because he went on vacation.
[00:40:09]Now if you donft sync and you donft charge your data stays, even if your battery dies down.
[00:44:31]Among the other notable features of the Tungsten T5... 256 megabytes of built in flash memory... along with an SD slot for expansion.
[00:52:98]And you can use the memory as a USB flash drive on any PC...
[00:57:34]You can just drag and drop files from your primary PC onto the device.
[01:00:64]So if you just need that one file that you want to work on that evening, you can drag it from work.
[01:04:39]Then you can come home, plug it in, it mounts as a volume just as any USB flash drive does, and you can then drag it onto your PC at home and work on it at home
[01:11:94]While the 399 dollar T5 does have built in Bluetooth... for wireless connections to Bluetooth cell phones and desk tops... what's missing is WiFi for browsing the Web and email.
[01:23:57]For that PalmOne sells an add on card.
