"The electronics giant on Monday will announce the $299 Clie PEG-T415, which will incorporate features of a handheld computer and a universal remote control. Consumers will be able to look up appointments and contacts while channel surfing on a TV set or controlling audio and video equipment such as a VCR or a stereo receiver. The company has boosted the reach of the Clie's infrared port--usually used to exchange data with other handhelds--to 15 feet and added software support for remote control of products from about 20 consumer electronics manufacturers. Sony is working on software upgrades that will allow the PEG-T415 to control additional products."

"The device will be available in retail stores at the end of November and can be preordered from Sony's e-commerce Web site. The PEG-T415 will come with version 4.1 of the Palm operating system, and the monochrome screen will have a resolution of 320 pixels by 320
pixels. The new Clie will measure 0.41 inches thick--thinner than other models--and come with a Jog Dial navigation button and a Memory Stick expansion slot. It will have 8MB of memory. The consumer electronics giant will also announce a new digital camera add-on for the Memory Stick slot. The Memory Stick Camera module will cost $149 and will be available by the end of November. It can capture images at a resolution of 320 pixels by 240 pixels. Sony also will announce a different version of an MP3 player attachment, designed for the new Clie. The Audio Adapter will cost
$129 and will be available at the end of November."
