Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Clie PEG-S300 is Sony's first attempt at a PDA. It has chosen to use Palm's operating system, rather than Microsoft's Pocket PC, and to launch its first PDA with a monochrome rather than a colour screen. While Pocket PC and colour screens may be seen by some as the more glamorous end of the PDA market, the PEG-S300 is one example that shows this is not always the case. Sony has, as it always does with its hardware, put design at the forefront, and the silver and blue casing is eye catching while the PDA is small, slim and sleek.
Usability is, of course, just as important as looks when it comes to PDAs. Sony's use of a jog-dial button helps you select applications and data one-handed, reducing the need to reach for the stylus and tap at the screen. When it comes to augmenting the 8 MB of on board RAM, the PEG-S300 has a Memory Stick slot. Memory Stick is Sony's proprietary data-storage format, and is not as widely supported as the Compact Flash or MultiMedia Card formats. But if you are already a user of other Sony Memory Stick devices then the slot, and the 8 MB Memory Stick, which is thrown in, will be useful.
The Dragonball processor that powers the PEG-S300 runs at 20 MHz--not as fast as some, but fine if all you want to do is use the device for standard PDA-type work. The PEG-S300 runs Palm OS 3.5--not the more up to date Palm OS 4, but the changes in the later version do not add anything too momentous to the Palm applications suite. A more important issue, perhaps, might be the life expectancy of the internal Lithium Ion battery, which Sony quotes as lasting for just 15 days between recharges. To overcome this rather poor specification, the PEG-S300 comes with both a docking cradle (USB), and separate mains adaptor, the latter providing a charge when you are away from your main PC.
The Clie PEG-S300 is not a state-of-the-art PDA. But it is a stylish one, and the Memory Stick support will appeal to fans of that medium. It is also, it should be noted, reasonably priced. --Sandra Vogel

I have now been using the Sony Clie for about 3 months and I have to say I now couldn't live without it! It looks and feels much more robust than some of its counter parts from other manufactures, even those by Palm themselves.

After looking at other PDA's the Sony Peg-S300 is by far the best built and oozes quality. With the Palm operating system this gives an unbeatable combination.
It is very easy to use, slim and lightweight. The memory stick being interchangeable between other Sony products will give great versatility.
This is format for the future.
