Palm Tungsten T2 Manual
PalmOne stretches the possibilities with the Tungsten T5, the first
handheld from PalmOne to utilize flash memory. In addition to a
groundbreaking 256 MB of memory, the sleek, slim Tungsten T5
features a high-resolution 320 x 480-pixel screen, a fast 416 MHz
Intel Xscale processor, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and a
Secure Digital memory card expansion slot. And, of course, the
Tungsten T5 features PalmOne's suite of information management
applications, the ability to edit Word- and Excel-compatible files,
and synchronization with Microsoft Outlook (Windows only).
Internal Flash Memory
Built for today's mobile professional, the Tungsten T5's 256 MB of
memory actually provides 215 MB of user-available memory (55 MB for
built-in applications and 160 MB of internal flash drive memory).
Connect it to your PC or Mac and use it as you would a USB flash
memory drive to transfer data and multimedia files from work to
home. To access files stored on the handheld, simply select Drive
Mode on the handheld and plug the included HotSync cable into a USB
port.
To add files, just drag and drop them from your PC desktop to the
new File Transfer application (installed with Palm Desktop; Windows
only). A live desktop window gives you instant access to data and
information stored on the handheld's internal drive--without the
need for synchronizing the handheld to move files.
Multimedia
The included RealPlayer for Palm OS enables you to listen to MP3s
stored on optional expansion cards via the built-in speaker on the
Tungsten T5 or, for stereo sound, on optional stereo headphones or
ear buds. The updated Media application lets you view (and show off)
transferred photos and videos.
Display
Unlike the Tungsten T3, which required you to slide the handheld's
bottom open to activate the screen's landscape mode, the Tungsten
T5's screen offers widescreen viewing at all times. The bright 320 x
480 transreflective TFT color display supports more than 65,000
colors. You can easily switch between portrait and landscape view,
as well as open an active input area at the bottom of the screen.
Connectivity and Expansion
With built-in wireless Bluetooth connectivity, you can synchronize
the Tungsten T5 with a Bluetooth-enabled computer from across the
room (within a range of 10 meters, or approximately 30 feet). But
that's just the start. Using a compatible Bluetooth-enabled phone,
you can send and receive e-mail and connect to the Web, send
multimedia (MMS) or text (SMS) messages, and even automatically dial
any number in your handheld's Contact's application. You can also
synchronize data the "old-fashioned" way via the USB connection at
the base of the handheld.
The Tungsten T5 uses MultiMedia Card and Secure Digital expansion
cards, which instantly add software applications, additional memory,
large databases, and more without taking up built-in memory space.
Operating System and Software
Veteran Palm OS handheld users will immediately notice the new
Favorites view, which provides easy access to applications, files,
and folders. The installed Palm OS 5.4 also introduces the Files
application, which enables easy navigation among folders and files.
It uses the intuitive and easy-to-learn Graffiti 2 writing software
to input data into the handheld (as well as an on-screen keyboard).
Windows users can synchronize their calendar, contacts, tasks, and
notes with Microsoft Outlook. The Palm OS features the following
organizer applications:
* Contacts: Lets you store several addresses for each contact, and
with new fields for more phone numbers, multiple e-mail addresses,
instant messenger IDs, and Web sites.
* Calendar: Use the new Agenda view to see upcoming calendar events,
tasks due, and important e-mail, and color-code your events to
provide an easy way to reference your calendar in the Agenda, Day,
Week, and Month views. Take more notes, or synchronize more details
from your desktop, in the larger Memos and Notes fields.
* Tasks: Use tasks with alarms and repeating tasks to set reminders
for important commients.
Additional Software
The Tungsten T5 includes Documents to Go 7.0, which provides the
ability to create and edit Word- and Excel-compatible files and view
and carry PowerPoint files (in native format) with no desktop
conversion required. The included Software Essentials CD-ROM also
contains eReader, Acrobat Reader, Solitaire, and Audible Player for
palmOne handhelds (Windows only).
What's in the Box
This package contains the Tungsten T5 handheld, a built-in
rechargeable battery, a carrying case, a USB HotSync cable, a power
cable, a stylus, a CD-ROM with Palm Desktop 4.1 software for Windows
and Mac (as well as bonus software), and a printed Getting Started
guide.
Tech Talk: Flash Memory
Flash memory, a form of electronic memory, is used for easy and safe
information storage. Its low power consumption and light weight make
flash memory ideal for mobile devices. In addition, flash memory
holds information without a charge or power, just like a memory card
saves pictures when not connected to a digital camera. The flash
memory in the Tungsten T5 handheld will maintain its data even when
power is exhausted. Simply charge the handheld again and the data is
there.
Tech Talk: Macintosh Users
While the Tungsten T5's new File Transfer application is a
Windows-only feature, Mac users can simply mount the handheld as an
external drive, and then proceed to drag and drop files from the
Finder to the handheld. Note, however, that the Tungsten T5's Palm
OS environment is unavailable when connected in this mode.
