This one is worth it!!!.......2006-07-09

Since 2001, I have had a Palm M100, 105, 500, Clie SJ-22, and now the SJ-33. This isn't a pocket pc, but I love mine and would highly recommend it--especially if you don't mind the fact that Sony doesn't make them anymore.

Docs to Go works great, and so does the MP3 player (you can bypass the Sony software and download songs directly as you would any other MP3 player). Runs videos well with Kinoma. The sound on the MP3 isn't great solo, but better than nothing--and it works great when you plug it into your computer speakers. Also, the MP3 has a "hold" feature that saves battery life. Also, dimming the light can also help with the battery.I would also recommend buying a Stowaway XT portable keyboard (works great and you can charge it while you type), making this little thing work like a mini-laptop. Basically with my SJ33 and keyboard, I can go anywhere, read a digital book, or do my work or some writing, while listening to music.

Best Palm I have ever owned.......2005-04-06

I am a long time palm user. First the Palm IIIC, then the Palm m500, then the Sony Clie SJ-22 and now the Sony Clie SJ-33.
I have been using this SJ-33 since May of 2004 when I got it on a closeout sale for $149. It was the best deal on electronics I have ever received. I love the fact that I can sync outlook, word and excel documents. It helps with my work as an engineer greatly. The other thing that is great about this little handheld is that the Dragonball processor has more than enough juice to play movies. Little known fact about this handheld is that you can burn dvd's (using PocketDVD) and then convert them to .pdb format using Kinoma Producer 3 to watch full length movies on this palm. As far as I know it is the only pre Palm OS5 device that has the horsepower to do this. Granted, you have to buy PocketDVD and Kinoma Producer, and I recommend a 256Meg memory card to hold one movie but even with these costs you get the functionality of a much newer machine. The battery life is excellent, especially compared to my old IIIc and m505. I have a seperate memory stick that I use to listen to MP3's on this palm, that functionality is great as well. I take it to the gym in the morning and I either listen to MP3's or I watch a Seinfeld episode or 2 while I am on the stair master. There is enough battery life to watch two entire movies on one charge (with the brightness set to the middle). I already know that I will be using this PDA until it breaks and goes into the trash can.

Pros:
-Excellent multimedia capabilities
-Jog dial, if you have never had one, you need one!
-long battery life, and it is replaceable
-very rugged construction, I have dropped it from waist level several times and aside from some scratches, no internal damage

Cons:
-You have to buy third party software to get full functionality
-Sony support is dwindling since they have exited the US-PDA market
-I wish the memory card slot would 'lock', when I have accidentally dropped it on the ground the memory card literally launches out of the slot, going several feet away

Sony support nonexistant.......2004-12-19

If sony could get a zero, I would give them a zero. Sony has no concept of giving their customers any after purchase support. The battery on this clie has never held a decent charge. Due to my work, I am not able to leave it plugged in all day; so I tried to find a car charger. No one had one not even sony and their support never emailed me back. I decided to replace the battery and once again no one had a replacement, and sony was non responsive. I guess by halting support of their clies sony believes that everyone will have to buy a psp. NOT ME!

Excellent PDA for an affordable cost.......2004-05-27

This is my 2nd PDA. I had a Casio PV-S1600. So I was used to monochrome screen and no snazzy apps.
This palm OS based color CLIE just blasted me away.
The palm 4 os based software are easily available online. The PDA serves all my purpose ... entertainment or work. The built in mp3 player is great.
I give it a thumbs up!

Cons:
A faster proccessor and RAM needed... (yes im greedy)
No cradle available with package
Built in Speaker not loud enough

Lousy product support from Sony.......2003-12-24

We bought several units for office staff. Liked the unit's functionality, but several units had re-charging issues. Could not get satisfactory help from Sony, wanted nearly $500 to "fix" one unit, claiming that it had evidence of moisture damage to the mother board. At that time, it was less than two weeks out of the box, and never exposed to moisture. There was no one from Sony to talk to, despite their fancy voice interactive service line. Called numerous times. Best I got was a commitment that the service team that dealt with it would call me back within 24 hours.... nothing doing. Eventually returned the unit to me - without repair done.

In response to the last review.......2007-01-25

Very impt. The 1101 does not have SSB receiving capability.
The 1102 does.
So in that regard it is a very different radio for those who want to hear Ham radio.

Good for the price!.......2006-11-12

I originally was a GE Super-radio freak (bought one over 20 years ago--sold it to my brother when GE Super-Radio III came out--it worked for him untill being destroyed by Katrina) and liked my Super-RadioIII EXCEPT for the dammed rotary tuning which WAS inaccurate and a painand disliked the weight being more like a home unit than a portable---wanted something smaller (something I can take hiking) with digital tuning and good reception and decided to try the Kaito 1101. Got it--yes, you have to read the manual, welcome to life----thought the FM/AM reception was equal to the GE ; although sound quality went to the GE (well it IS a much bigger unit with 2 speakers!) but loved the rechargable battery feature (although the first time I tried to recharge it--after letting the first charge run down as told--it only charged it 2/3 of a charge! Still it worked over a month on the first charge used daily)liked the Kaito so much (and I admit I was short for cash! Ha!)that I sold my Super-RadioIII
to my brother.Overall I'm happy with the Kaito--we'll see how it lasts.

An unmitigated disaster.......2006-10-30

I bought the Kaito 1101 in August 2005, and found that it played adequately, if unexceptionally. Sound and sensitivity were decent, but not better. The user interface is unintuitive and the manual nearly incomprehensible, although that didn't bother me much. My first problem was that the radio refused to charge up the rechargeable batteries that come with it. A call to Kaito yielded this advice: use a dedicated battery charger. The 1101 is able to keep batteries charged up once they have an initial charge, I was told, but is unable to charge batteries that have zero charge. So I used a separate charger, and this seemed to work, although I found it odd that they would sell a radio that is advertised to charge its batteries but is incapable of doing so. And even after they are charged the batteries run down very fast. After about ten months, the radio simply refused to play, even using AC current. Since it was still under warranty, I shipped it back and received a replacement radio. Three months later (just beyond the one-year warranty period) the replacement radio failed in exactly the same way -- it simply stopped producing any sound on any of its bands. I have now decided that it's junkyard time for this piece of junk, and time to get a radio that works. In 2006, how hard can it be to make a decent radio?

Great little radio.......2006-09-28

I bought this radio because we live in an area with poor FM reception. It picks up the stations I wanted and then some. Sound is good for its size. The rechargable batteries are a plus. I am very satisfied with it. I am going to have to buy another as my son has found how good the reception is and has claimed it.

A superior, but flawed, product.......2006-09-12

After enjoying the superb reception on the Kaito 1103 but not enjoying the counter-intuitive control buttons, I decided to invest in the Kaito 1101 because of the excellent reviews. Here is my comparison:
Value: The 1101 is an incredible value. This is a lot of radio for the price. The 1103 is well worth its cost but the 1103 has more features.
Sound: The 1103 wins, hands down, with its larger speaker and fuller sound. The 1101 is good but inferior sounding to the 1103.
Ease of use: Yikes! How can Kaito get so much right with reception and so much wrong with ergonomics? The 1103 has the least intutive volume control of any radio I have ever seen. The 1101 has the dial volume control right under the carrying strap - it is nearly impossible not to get caught up with one when using the other. The power button on the 1101 is near the middle of the front panel - not on the far right where you would expect to find it. Try fiddling for it without looking. The carrying strap is on the top right - bad choice. The ac input is on the right side - should be on the left. These radios are so counter-intuitive to use. That is so sad because they have great reception:
Reception: This is where Kaito excels. Great FM, above average AM, Great Shortwave. These radios are hot receivers! The 1101 is very near to the 1103 as far as reception goes. I do detect a slight improvement in the 1103 but not enough to make much of a difference for the user.
Which one should you get? The 1101 is smaller and more compact and is about 40$ less than the 1103. The 1103 has better sound. Either way, you are going to have to deal with the bizarre but minor tuning. volume, preset, ergonomics issues. Well worth the price but may be frustrating to someone who just wants to turn it on and listen. The manual is in poor English that barely makes sense but you can figur eit all out in about 15 minutes if you are patient.
