THE LATEST COOL TOOLS:
* Palm’s new TX does it all
The Palm TX combines the best features of a business-oriented handheld (organizer, document viewer, Web and e-mail) with the best features of a consumer handheld device (photo viewer, music and video player).
* Gateway Convertible Notebook (CX200x )
The Gateway Convertible Notebook is a study in contrasts. It has a 14-inch widescreen display, one of the first tablets we’ve seen with that. Since this is a tablet, users will want to write on the screen and carry it around. Because the larger display creates a heavier notebook, this works against the concept of a tablet.
