Here is a device I wish some company would try to recreate. In many ways, this device was the zenith for Sony Clie’s and even for Palm devices in general. As you can tell from the picture, the device was shaped like a miniature tablet PC, with a relatively spacious thumb keyboard and a 3.25″ screen that could flip and fold over it. Therefore, it could be used in both tablet mode and mini-laptop mode. The UX50 had both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The Wi-Fi alone makes it useful, even today, more than 5 years after it first came out. A quick look on eBay reveals that used UX50’s still go for well over $100, if not $200.
