Sony SJ33 Review

The Sony Clie SJ33 is one of Sony's more affordable PDAs. It's more of a PDA and less of an entertainment system than some of the more expensive models.

The SJ33 has a nice 320 X 320 color screen. It also comes with an MP3 player. However, since the SJ33 only has 16 MB of memory, you may need to get a Memory Stick to fully enjoy that feature.

The Sony SJ33 has gotten great ratings from professionals and everyday users. Of 80 votes on one web site, 89% recommended the SJ33.

Professional Ratings: 7.8 out of 10 (1 review)

One complaint of the Sony SJ33 by a few users is that the MP3 player doesn't work very well. There have been some problems transferring MP3s from a PC to the Memory Stick. However, it did work for the professional review cited above. And there is some disappointment that the SJ33 runs Palm OS 4.1 instead of OS 5. But the complaints are few and far between.
