    Description:
    The WiFi-enabled Tungsten C is the third handheld in the Tungsten series. The most exciting aspect of the Tungsten C, which looks remarkably similar to the Tungsten W, except it replaces the GSM phone capability of that device with WiFi (802.llb) and its antenna is hidden within the device, is the inclusion of 64MB of RAM, by far the most found in any Palm OS device. According to Palm, the Tungsten C is aimed at the campus-based professionals who are away from their desk most of the day but need access to all the information on their PC.

    The Tungsten C also sports the most powerful processor found in a Palm or any other handheld for that matter, a 400MHz Intel PXA255 XScale CPU, and a 320 x 320 transflective TFT display that supports 65,000 colors.

    It features an internal rechargeable 1500mAh battery that Palm claims provides a full work day of consistent WiFi connectivity, or a full work week of normal handheld use.

    The Tungsten C runs Palm OS 5.21, which is the first Palm operating system to feature Graffiti 2 based on CIC's Jot application.

    It is also the first Palm OS to natively integrate DataViz Documents To Go for managing Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint compatible documents, PalmSource’s proxyless web browser, which supports HTML, JavaScript and other Internet standards, and Palm Photo View 1.0. In other words, these applications will be found in ROM, leaving more RAM available.

    The also natively integrates VersaMail 2.5, which supports up to eight personal and corporate email accounts, and features auto retrieve, which lets users set their devices to automatically wake up and check for new email, as well as new viewing preferences such as multiline view, support for basic HTML mail and expanded font support. Additional enhanced functionality enables Tungsten C handheld users to wirelessly download and view the text of Microsoft Word documents, JPG images, ZIP files and HTML email attachments.
