Small and comfortable to hold, the Clie does have some nice additions to the standard Palm feature set. The most important is a slot for a memory stick. This would be nicer if the Clie would let you use the memory stick as though it were an extension of internal memory, the way PocketPC devices do. Instead it's more of an auxiliary storage device. If you have a video on the stick, to view it you'll first have to copy it to internal memory.

The biggest problem with Sony's new handheld,
the Clie, besides the pretentious name
pronounced clee-ay is the advertising
campaign. Sony is trying to convince the world
that the Clie is a magnificent leap in the evolution
of the handheld, a fantastic device that pushes the
technological edge and does everything but scrub
your back in the shower. They even refuse to call
it a Personal Digital Assistant, instead referring to
the Clie as a Personal Entertainment Organizer.
Well, here's the scoop: It's a decent Palm branded
by Sony. Kill the heavenly choir.
