expect it under your right index finger Sony made a few other tweaks to the otherwise standard Palm PDA experience the up and down navigation buttons were replaced by a thumb wheel for easier scrolling and there was a custom home screen skin to take advantage of it though you could switch back to stock if you wanted reviews of the TJ NUMBER_TOKEN were mixed many praised its crisp NUMBER_TOKEN by NUMBER_TOKEN pixel color LCD but also lamented it's limited brightness some found the Wi-Fi functionality to be flaky but the sound quality of mpNUMBER_TOKEN playback was generally considered better than its competition specifically Palms zyre NUMBER_TOKEN from early NUMBER_TOKEN I found mention of the battery not being user replaceable which gave me pause when I went to order a new one but compared to modern electronics swapping it out was a breeze just a single try wing screw to access the compartment and the new battery plugs right in this was considered non user replaceable in NUMBER_TOKEN my how things change in NUMBER_TOKEN itself saw considerable change up to that point there was pretty distinct separation between PDAs and cell phones but as each market continued to add features to its products the line began to blur smartphones were already becoming a thing and palms own trio NUMBER_TOKEN was a popular model that even included a camera but its price of six hundred dollars or about NUMBER_TOKEN today generally saw it adopted mostly by business users the PDA market was already in decline from its peak in NUMBER_TOKEN and Sony knew it wouldn't get any better just a few months after launch the TJ thirty-sevens price had already started to fall in the face of lackluster sales in June NUMBER_TOKEN the company announced it would stop selling PDAs in North America and Europe and the TJ NUMBER_TOKEN was one of the last three models the company would release there it continued development for the Japanese market but even that was short-lived Sony discontinued the CLE a product line entirely in the spring of NUMBER_TOKEN in the coming years smartphones would see rapid adoption in the mass-market names new and old including both Sony and Palm themselves would compete for a share in what would grow to become a business worth hundreds of billions of dollars likewise PDAs quickly lost consumers attention just a few months after Sony's exit palm released its last two models in October of NUMBER_TOKEN and three years later finally admitted that it wouldn't develop new ones smartphones are of course ubiquitous today but it's interesting to see where they came from it doesn't seem so much that cell phones simply added PDA and multimedia functions or that PDAs gained phone capabilities but rather that the two met in the middle smartphones being the natural evolution for both of them if you like the video I'd appreciate a thumbs up and be sure to subscribe if you haven't already you can follow me on Twitter and Instagram at this does not come and as always thanks for watching
