Tungsten T5 Announced

palmOne today introduced the Tungsten T5 handheld with new high-capacity flash memory. The Tungsten T5 includes 256MB of total memory - 160MB of flash memory and 55MB for applications. palmOne says that the Tungsten T5's flash memory protects information even if the device loses its charge, and doubles as a portable flash memory drive as well (it's basically a built-in memory card). There's also an SD/MMC slot available, of course. Using "Drive Mode", the flash memory can be accessed directly when your handheld is plugged into your computer's USB port. The new handheld also features a 320x480 color screen with landscape mode, Bluetooth, an Intel 416MHz XScale processor, and a slim design reminiscent of the Tungsten E. The Tungsten T5 is expected to ship November 3rd, and will retail for $400.

Addendum: This article in Investor's Business Daily seems to suggest that palmOne designed the T5 with healthcare providers in mind. (Thanks to PalmDoc for the link.)
