Introduction |
|
[==================================================================] |
|
The Tungsten E2, introduced on April 13, 2005, replaced the similarly |
|
named Tungsten E, had 32 MB of memory (29.7 available), a 200 MHz |
|
Intel XScale processor, 320x320 Transflective TFT color display, and |
|
ran Palm OS Garnet v5.4.7. It is 114 by and weighs 133 g. It had a |
|
standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, a longer-lasting battery than the |
|
Tungsten E, had Bluetooth capability, and a single speaker on the |
|
back. |
|
|
|
Much like the Tungsten T5 and Treo 650, it used non-volatile flash |
|
memory, this time in the form of 'Non-Volatile File System', meaning |
|
that the data would be preserved even if the battery ran out. It used |
|
standard SD memory cards and was also compatible with the 'Palm Wi-Fi |
|
Card' (sold separately). It used a standard Athena Connector port |
|
supported only by some then-newer accessories. |
|
|
|
When it was released, its retail price was US$249. In October 2005, |
|
the price was reduced to US$199. |
|
|
|
Unlike other models, the 'Find' function was limited to only the first |
|
eight matches, and the calculator incorrectly found percentages at |
|
half their actual value, though this was fixed in units shipping after |
|
April 2006. |
|
|
|
The Tungsten E2 had the ability to use WiFi, but only as an add-on |
|
SDIO card made by PalmOne (now TCL Corporation). Palm's WiFi card was |
|
manufactured by SyChip. Encryption is restricted to WEP, and did not |
|
offer WPA or WPA2. |
|
|
|
The maximum size SD card supported on the Tungsten E2 was 1 GB due to |
|
a software limitation. In order to read larger SD and SDHC cards an |
|
upgraded driver is required. The previous model (Tungsten E) had been |
|
reported to be capable of using 2 GB SD carVds. |
