Sena UltraSlim Pouch for Apple iPad, Green

A very good monochrome Palm based PDA.,
Although the PDA market is moving towards color, I decided to go with the latest monochrome offering from Sony. I loved the sleek design and the 320×320 screen. I feel that all Palm based PDA’s function exactly the same (no matter how hard they try to market them separately). You’re paying for the design and in some cases compatibility. The USB connection and the rechargable battery were also pluses for me. The software that came with the t415 is great but taxing on the memory if you install all of its offerings (3rd party software is not essential to utilize Clie)
I was disappointed with the screen though. It looks nothing like how Sony has posted it on the web site. The text and pictures are very sharp but the t415 uses reflective technology similar to the Palm m505. So if you’re using it in a dim room and the light isn’t hitting the screen at just the right angle, it’s really difficult to see. No problems in bright, direct light. One other flaw is the placement of the buttons. If you look at the Clie from the side, the task buttons stick out ever so slightly so if you carry it in your pocket using the cover, you could accidently hit the butttons and turn it on. Sony should try and improve that aspect of the Clie. PC users should have no problems syncing. Mac users on the other hand will have to purchase “missing sync” software from markspace.com.
All in all, I’m satisfied with the t415. If you want a cheaper monochrome PDA you might want to check out the VisorEdge which is now ($$$). If you want color, I hear that the best thing to do is wait until the New Year arrives.

When my Palm IIIxe started getting flaky, I looked around for a new handheld. I wanted the Sony Clie 610, but apparently they’re discontinuing it now–everyone’s out of stock, including Sony’s own store. Why they’d discontinue a popular midrange color handheld when the market is moving that way, I’ve no idea. The alternatives were to pay $… more for the audio capabilities of the 760, or pay $… less for the b/w 415. I chose the 415 because I don’t really want or need the audio, and I liked the slim design.
Overall, this is a great device. There IS a contrast control, contrary to what one of the other reviewers said–it’s right on the front of the device in the bottom left hand corner of the input area. I do agree that the screen is dim and hard to read, but I find that in most cases the backlight helps, and since the battery is rechargeable, I don’t worry too much about keeping the backlight on.
The high res display is neat, and I think worth a little extra. I am not super-impressed with the pictures and movies–I think they’d work better on the color screen. I like the ability to use the Memory Stick, though I haven’t tried it yet. Getting the data to my new Clie from the old Palm was very easy, thankfully. And there are a number of small features and 3rd-party apps that make this better than my old Palm. The WA Clock, for one, which allows you to.. *gasp* set an alarm without making a date book entry. The Clie can play various different sounds for an alarm, too. A lot of the 3rd-party apps are limited or trial versions, but Documents To Go (which allows you to share Word and Excel documents) is a welcome addition.
My biggest gripe is that Sony has changed the connector on this handheld from previous Clies, so the Targus keyboard I bought (which claims to work with “Sony Clie Handhelds”) doesn’t fit it. Even the salesperson didn’t seem aware of this, and Sony sure hasn’t gone out of their way to publicize it; the only way you can tell is to note that there are separate versions of some of their peripherals for the 415 and for the 320/610/760 group. Oh well.. if they hadn’t done that, this would’ve been a five-star machine.

|Very different than other handhelds…,
I find that I’m the kind of person who wants to purchase the “top-of-the-line” in gadgets. However, I am also the kind of person who can’t ever afford it. So I have to be an efficient shopper to get satisfaction. I must have read 50 or more reviews for this product (and a select few others)before I decided to purchase it. I knew that since I was ordering it I would not like the idea of having to send it back. The majority of the reviews I read on the T415 all complain of a screen that is anything from irritatingly dim to impossible to use. In fact numerous people claimed to have returned the T415 in favor of another handheld. I was disappointed to hear this since I really enjoy higher resolution whenever I can get it and I LOVED the idea of being able to customize the alarm sound however I wanted.
I finally got the chance to…check it out on display. Now I understand the problems that people were having…….they need to take more vitamins and get their eyes checked. I ordered one right away. The screen is head and shoulder above all the other handheld I have seen. I LOVE the that I can get more information on the screen at once. That means smaller fonts and icons people! If you can thread a needle, you’ll handle this gadget well. I you cant even see a needle when you hold it in you hand, look elsewhere for you plam device. The sound function is as cool as I expected. Don’t expect to throw out all your stereo equipment or anything but it’s cool none the less.
The screen doesnt have the same near iridescent background as a few other palms and some digital watches but it is not noticably dimmer than any other LCD screened device. (cell phones, calculators, ect…) I own a wizard organizer and the screen is slightly clearer and many time sharper that that. PLUS the bluish hint to the the gray scale along with the black on the screen actually makes this more of a “duochromatic” rather that monochromatic pda. Two colors rather than just one.
If any of the features above are intriguing to you, I recommend you choose the T415. Provided you don’t want to spend the extra cash for the color version of essentially the same device. The color version does have I clearer screen as is expected…it’s COLOR for pity’s sake. You get what you pay for.
I must agree that I have not yet found the solution for the button problem. I dont mind the shape. I dont mind the tiny scroll “lever” (it’s not even really a button). I just can’t seem to stop the thing from turning on no matter where it is. Pocket, briefcase, soft pda case, wherever. I’m currently looking into some sort of hard case but there are few options for such a unique sized and shaped device.
