The PEG-T415 has an eye-catching design, with a silver aluminum case and a flip cover that gives it a Star Trek-communicator feel. Scottie can't beam you up, but you can beam data to other PDAs via a built-in infrared port. The PEG-T415 is the essence of portability, weighing only 4 ounces and measuring 4.8 inches high x 2.9 inches wide x 0.4 inches deep. The PEG-T415 has a handy jog dial and a Back button built into the upper-left side of the case. On the front are shortcut buttons for the calendar, address book, to-do list, and memo programs. The scroll button is in the middle and is functional, but I wish it were a little bigger. The PEG-T415's biggest drawback is its screen. It has a relatively high 320 x 320 resolution but seems either too bright or too dark, depending on the angle. The PDA's backlighting feature slightly alleviates this problem, but not enough. The PEG-T415 has 8MB of RAM, a 33MHz processor, and a Memory Stick slot at the top so you can quickly add up to 128MB of RAM. The PDA uses the Palm 4.1 OS and comes with several programs, including Documents To Go, with which you can open Microsoft Word and Excel documents. I like the CLIE Remote Commander program, which lets you use the PEG-T415 as a remote for your television, VCR, or DVD player. With a better screen, I'd recommend the CLIE PEG-T415 to anyone, but the PDA isn't a very useful product if you have to strain your eyes to see what you're doing. by Michael Sweet CLIE PEG-T415 $219.99 Sony Electronics (888) 595-8246 (941) 768-7669 www.sonystyle.com/clie CPU Rating: 2 (out of possible 5)  User Reviews Be the first to write a review of this product Want more information about a topic you found of interest while reading this article?
