palmOne Introduces Sleek, Stylish Tungsten E2 Handheld

Follow-on to World's Most Popular Handheld Surpasses Its Predecessor

MILPITAS, Calif., April 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Building on the
popularity of the Tungsten(TM) E handheld, which has sold nearly 2
million units worldwide, palmOne, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLMO) today announced
the Tungsten E2 handheld. With the additions of a brighter color
screen, flash memory, Bluetooth(R) wireless technology and a more
powerful battery, the Tungsten E2 provides upscale, premium features
at a budget-conscious price -- $249 (estimated U.S. street price).

Deploy New Tungsten E2 Handheld from palmOne in Clinical Trials.")

"This sleek, stylish device is the perfect handheld to take into the
boardroom or the classroom," said Ken Wirt, senior vice president of
worldwide marketing for palmOne. "With the versatile Tungsten E2,
customers get more of what they want -- Bluetooth, and a brighter,
richer color screen that brings calendar, contacts, documents, photos
and videos to life. Plus, flash memory to keep important information
safe, even when you forget to charge the device."

The Tungsten E has proven enormously popular with budget-conscious
professionals and consumers alike, helping it achieve a remarkable 17
months of sales-leading statistics, according to The NPD Group.
Introduced in October 2003, the Tungsten E represented a new way of
thinking about an enterprise-class handheld. Whether for home or in
the office, individuals no longer had to sacrifice price for
performance or professional features for multimedia. Instead, palmOne
designed Tungsten E from the ground up to include cutting-edge
features for work and play at an affordable price.

Tungsten E2 Handheld Expanded Features/Benefits

View the world on a brighter, richer color display

The Tungsten E2 handheld has a new, brighter 320x320 color display,
making it easy for professionals and consumers to see their
schedules, contacts, and work documents -- indoors and out. Better
color saturation brings photos and video clips to life in rich,
dazzling color.

Relax with non-volatile, flash memory

32MB of non-volatile flash memory with 26MB actual storage capacity
gives Tungsten E2 handheld users more than enough room to hold their
calendars, contacts, applications, photos, spreadsheets and
presentations. The Tungsten E2 battery provides longer battery life
than the original Tungsten E. And because it's flash memory, the
information on the handheld is protected -- even if the battery
happens to run out.

Connect with Bluetooth enabled wireless devices

With the Tungsten E2's built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, users
can synchronize the device with their desktops wirelessly.(1) They
can even use their Tungsten E2 handheld with a compatible Bluetooth
phone to send and receive email, or to check news headlines on the
web.(2)

Carry MP3 files, digital photos, and video clips in pocket or purse

The Tungsten E2 becomes a portable MP3(3) player. Users simply plug
in an expansion card loaded with their favorite MP3s and use the
built-in speaker or stereo headphones.(5) Photos or video clips of
friends and family can be carried across town or around the globe by
inserting an SD Card from a digital camera to show off photos on the
Tungsten E2's stunning color display.(4)

Productivity on the road

The Tungsten E2 comes with DataViz's Documents To Go(R) software,
which lets mobile professionals carry important Word, Excel and
PowerPoint files so they can be more productive wherever they are.
And with a simple conversion step, Acrobat PDF files can be viewed.

Powerful performance and expansion options

The Tungsten E2 handheld comes with a powerful 200MHz Intel XScale
processor and 32MB of RAM (26MB user available), providing the room
and speed for complex documents or applications. Users can connect
their device to palmOne's Wireless Keyboard(5) to make working on
