Palm OS 4. According to my contact at Sony, this is just a bug fix update with no new features. But I can't tell you what bugs were fixed, either.
After a lot of searching the only difference I was able to find is the NC doesn't have some of the problems my m does with applications that use the IR port.
I've never been able to get OmniRemote to work on my m but it works great on the NC. And that might not even be related to the new OS version.
Because it runs OS 4, it uses Palm's method from running apps on expansion cards. When a Memory Stick is plugged in, its contents appear in a new category in the default Launcher.
Tapping on an app on this list copies it to RAM and then runs it from there. When the app is exited, it is removed from RAM. It also can run Palm Web Clipping apps right out of the box, which surprised me a bit. It worked like a dream. Of course, it also has the Attention Manager, which lists past alarms that have gone off but have not yet been acknowledged.
As a person who sets a lot of alarms, I like this. Accessories The stylus is fairly standard, with a metal shaft and a plastic tip and topper. The top unscrews to reveal a reset pin.
As mentioned earlier, the flip cover attaches to the top. It doesn't have any way to hold itself closed, like with magnets or anything. It is a bit less protective this way but I like it. As it is, I can open the cover one handed, flipping it around like Kirk opening his communicator. In a nice touch, the cover is shaped so that pushing down on it won't push the buttons on the front of the handheld.
However, it seems to be lightly attached. Over the life of the device, the flimsy plastic tabs that hold it on could easily wear out. The cradle is silver plastic with a touch of chrome and matches the handheld nicely. It has one outstanding feature. The power adapter can plug into either the cradle or directly into the NC.
This means that no additional travel charger is necessary. The wall socket plugs even fold down to make a smaller package. I tested this via infrared on my PowerBook. Unfortunately, several people have written in to point out that infrared is the only way that this will work.
Sorry if I steered anyone wrong. Conclusion While I've tried hard to be even-handed about the NC, I have to say that it is an awesome handheld. If you are looking for a combination MP3 player and handheld, this is definitely the way to go. PalmInfocenter is not responsible for them in any way.

RE: Converted I. Interesting that you claim to speak for "most of the population". Again , good review I. From: "SOS" sos info. We also do not support, or recommend, any software or updates from any site other than our own. Although third-party software or updates may be installed, issues with, or resulting from, the use of such software will not be supported by SONY. Negative points: 1. Other wise, I just want to confirm that it work perfectly with Windows XP, just Sony might'nt support it yet.
Get your boss to buy you one.. RE: Again , good review I. Wireless, Lefty? I would give the a sony a try if I could only get e-mails. How about a lefty version so we can use the jog-dial and write. RE: Wireless, Lefty? I've been promised by a Sony spokesperson that there will be one by the end of the year, though. I got a NC over the weekend and I love it. Now when I read on this thing I can use either my left or right hand and still use the jog dial fine.
In fact I prefer to use the jog dial with my the handheld in my right hand, since I have bigger hands and its eiser to use one finger to roll the jog dial, and one finger to use the back button. I only wish I could write with my left and then I would be be able to hold it in my right all the time and not strain my thumb trying to use the jog dial and back button with my left hand As for wirless, sony has myclo or something like that..
It works great! Also, how much is the cable? Thanks, -Mario msmasitti yahoo. I do not pay any other costs. I have a plan with plenty of minutes for my voice and data needs.
Flip cover I. It seems a lot more secure. Why did use a better cover attachment for the cheaper series, and vice versa? Just a thought I had the and now have the I will admit the the cover attachments are different, but I didn't feel that the solution was more secure. In fact, I knocked the cover off several times and I've only knocked my cover off once so far. RE: Flip cover I.
I don't own a Sony yet , and my opinion was based on checking out the display units. The 's cover looked better to me at the time. What about the c? RE: What about the c? Most users have already gotten their upgrades. Check out the Yahoo Clie Users Group. I have been to yahoo - which group are you talking about? Thanks for your time. MY is Now a !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Free no less!!!! I had purchased the N and liked it so much but wanted mp3 playback too, so I sold that one to my sister, but was soon missing the better response time of the N and the larger color palette.
I'm glad it worked. I just signed up to the users' group but it says my membership is pending and I can't get in yet RE: OS 4. Obviously the c has MP3 playback and the c doesn't, but does this require a different version of the OS? Are there other differences?
As with the I had before, all my apps work perfectly in high-res, provided I downloaded the latest updated versions. In addition to the superb display, Sony builds a better digital audio player subsystem into the than comes in any Pocket PC, including an elegant clip-on controller with a built-in stylus as well as a pair of superb earclip headphones.
Let's backup a bit Little has changed in the ROM-based software Sony includes with the compared to previous models. The new Memory Stick Import app lets you mount your stick as a volume on your Windows desktop, and with MissingSync it works on a Mac desktop as well. PhotoStand is a Sony app I neglected to mention in my previous reviews.
It allows you to turn your CLIE into a digital photo frame by tapping into whatever photo albums you have copied to your device using the included Sony PictureGear Lite application on the desktop. This simple little app is nothing short of brilliant. It's the little touches like PhotoStand that make me love Sony products, and they make it easy to justify the premium price compared to other products.
What did Sony leave out? Sony should bundle a 32MB stick, minimum. A voice recorder feature would be nice to have, particularly when I want to capture a thought while driving.
Most important to me is sync support for Macintosh. It offers virtually everything Pocket PCs do except for their confusing interfaces and their occasional unreliability. All rights reserved.
Make sure you have adequate space on your PC to save the download file. Make sure Microsoft Outlook software is installed on your PC and has been started at least once.
Confirm that the PC is configured to be able to perform a HotSync? To ensure that no other program interferes with the installation, save all work and close all other programs. The Taskbar should be clear of applications before proceeding.
