Sony NX70VSony NX70V Overview
The Sony NX70V has been a great success in Sony's high-end line of PDAs. It's packed with fun features and will impress everyone you know. The price of the NX70V, however, is fairly high, in the neighborhood with many Pocket PCs. The NX70V has a nice big color screen (that swivels) and a built-in mini keyboard. But the real eye-catcher is the built-in camera that will take 640 X 480 (JPEG) pictures and record (MPEG-4) video. And the NX70V plays MP3s as well, to round out the multimedia showcase. It also comes with a voice recorder and a slot for a wireless card. Strangely, the NX70V has no speaker. This is surprising considering all of its multimedia capabilities. So listening to audio requires a headset. Surprising still is that the NX70V only comes with 16 MB of memory, so you'll probably end up needing a Memory Stick. Sony NX70V RatingsThe Sony NX70V has gotten excellent ratings from professionals and everyday users. Of 175 votes on one web site, 83% recommended the NX70V. Professional Ratings: 8.8 out of 10 (3 reviews) Nothing can be perfect though. The Sony NX70V has been criticized for being too big, which you might expect considering all of the features. And as with many high-end products, the NX70V has been accused of being overpriced. Perhaps more importantly are complaints of insufficient memory (only 16 MB). And some users have had poor customer support from Sony.
