Product Description
The PEG-UX50 Personal Entertainment Communicator features dual Wireless integration in a compact and lightweight design. Powered by Palm OS 5, the UX50 is powerful, portable, and easy to use!With both 802.11b WiFi and Bluetooth built-in, the UX50 offers two methods of wireless communication for maximum flexibility. Connect to a wireless LAN network using 802.11b WiFi, and you can check e-mail, access the Internet, or HotSync with a PC on the network wirelessly. By pairing the UX50 with other Bluetooth enabled devices you can transfer data between CLIE handhelds, HotSync with a PC, or connect to the Internet via cell phone. Built-in digital camera with 3x digital zoom provides 310K effective pixel resolution.The built-in 310, 000 pixel digital camera supports up to VGA (640x480) resolution, and is perfect for taking quick snapshots and transmitting over one of the wireless connections. You can also record and play back video (MPEG4, 30 fps, 160x112)!The new wide-screen design features a high-resolution 480x320 display. The wider display allows more web pages to be readable, improving your Internet experience. The screen lifts to expose the keyboard, or swivels to hide the keyboard and use as a touch screen. Plus, more room is available for the built in keyboard, allowing for more space between each key.The UX50 also features Dedicated Internal Media Memory (29 MB) for storing multimedia content. The Automatic Data Back-up feature helps protect your information by moving data in RAM memory to non-volatile memory when a low battery state is detected.

Best PDA!.......2006-08-20
I am sad that Sony is no longer in the PDA business. This is one of the best PDAs of its time. I've had it for several years and still use it. It combines all the features I need, plus more. The keyboard is the main reason I purchased it- very easy to use and illuminates. I also love the ability to check email and surf the web, snap quick pictures, read files, and listen to music and audiobooks. The battery life is not the best, but there are lots of accessories and there is an extended battery. It comes loaded with applications and games. The screen is a nice size. I still get questions and compliments on it!
Hoorah for the UX50!!!.......2005-07-10
Finally, a handheld that offers everything built-in that is extra with most other handhelds! Surf the net, take a picture, and play games, as well as a built-in keyboard. I LOVE this Clie.
Very nice and beautiful clamshell look but some cons.......2005-02-25
PROS
1. It is a very nice look .
2. has very good features like a camera and can also rotate.
3. It also has both bluetooth and WIFI that is a good for people on the
go.
4. It now has a low price than 2 years ago.
5. will atract and impress many people
CONS
1. bad battery life (can buy extra battery . 3X longer also sold at amazon
very cheap.
2. limited applications
I think this is a very good p.e.o. and you shoud buy it if you like attention or really need it
Love mine, but there are some problems.......2005-02-17
I bought my UX-50 off eBay for about half the going rate of a refurbished new unit. Since I paid so little, I really don't have much to complain about. However, if I had paid $500 for a new-refurbished unit - or $800 for a brand-new unit when the UX-50s were first released - I probably would not have given a 4-star review.
Here are the positives:
- I don't understand why so many people complain about the UX-50 only having a "landscape" screen option. I got used to using the landscape screen in no time. There are third-party programs you can download to convert some applications to portrait mode if you want, but I really didn't feel the need. Granted, the landscape screen means there's a lot of wasted space on the touchscreen, but I didn't have any problems using the screen as-is. I also think the screen size is AWESOME considering the features packed into this little gadget.
- The functionality is, without a doubt, amazing. The UX-50 can replace your keychain digital camera, digital voice recorder, PDA, MP3 player AND you can check your e-mail with it! They managed to pack a lot of features into this little PDA.
- Sound on the MP3 player is great. I have a Sony VAIO laptop that has a built-in Memory Stick port so it's really easy for me to put a ton of music onto my 512 MB stick and have music wherever I go. I have a Nomad MP3 player but I rarely use it because the UX-50's MP3 player is so easy to use.
- The camera is great and takes good pictures in enough light. The zoom feature is neat.
- The PDA functionality is exactly what you'd expect - it works well. The UX-50 has enough internal memory for you to load lots of programs into it.
Negatives:
- It took me a lot of tinkering and research to get the 802.11B wireless feature to work. Apparently there was some kind of problem with the wireless connection software in most UX-50s, and if yours has the problem you have to download a special program, called Mobile Manager, to get it to work correctly. Not that Sony tells you this - I had to research it for myself on user bulletin boards. After a LOT of tweaking my wireless works - sometimes. The mobile browser, NetFront, won't load graphics-heavy pages and is quick to give "insufficient memory" and timeout errors. Unfortunately there's no way to upgrade NetFront 3.0, which came with the UX-50, to NetFront 3.1.
- Battery life truly does suck. I solved this by purchasing a third-party manufactured case and car kit off of eBay - the case has a USB port integrated, so now I can plug the USB sync cable into the case's port and charge my Clie. The car kit consists of a USB cable and an adapter that fits my car's cigarette lighter. Now I can charge wherever I go, which helps greatly with the battery life issue. And I don't have to use the stupid "charging sled" to do it. Which brings me to my next point...
- I would really like to know why Sony made a PDA that you can't charge with a USB cable. It seems ridiculous to me. Before I found the USB-port case I had to lug the stupid charger and sled around with me. The charger is bulky and the sled makes the UX-50 too thick to fit in a pocket or small purse. As it is, now I can't plug the UX-50 in and let it charge while I sync it throughout my workday, which is always what I've done with other PDAs. This was a really dumb design idea.
- The only other negative thing is that some parts of the UX-50 feel flimsy - I often feel like I am going to break the screen off rotating it back and forth, and the USB sync port has a small cover that feels like it could rip off at any time.
Overall, though, this is a great productivity tool and very nifty to carry around. It has a considerable "cool factor" and there's great functionality to boot. The negatives are bummers, but this thing is basically a mini laptop computer with a camera built in, so I don't expect everything to be perfect. I'm just bummed Sony's no longer going to be selling PDAs in the U.S. - hopefully they will change their minds before my UX-50 dies or becomes obsolete.
Attack of the Chimera PDA .......2004-11-20
Wow, what a device. I was impressed with this PDA on steriods from the moment I pulled it out of the box. Normally I am dissapointed when I purchase a new gadget. It either doesn't work as advertised or it is so convoluted that I excile it to the land of misfit toys. This PDA though comes through on all of its promised features. With a respectable digital photo, video and audio capability combined with 802.11 wireless, bluetooth, Infra Red as well as USB data interface capability, what more could a PDA require. To be fair and balanced, The UX-50 does have a few issues that detract from its status as PDA nirvana. One is its fragility. I feel like I am holding a delicate piece of bone china everytime I use it. Additionally, I am very dissapointed in Sony and their decision to get out of the PDA business, and just when they seemed to get it.

Best PDA I've Owned.......2004-03-12
I've owned way too many PDAs, and have come to several conclusions:
1 Palm OS excells,
2. HP iPaqs are a disaster,and
3. SONY exceeded my expectations.
Unless you need Wi-Fi, it's not worth it.
This is by far the most feature filled unit that is on the market. It's size and features will address just about any need you may have.
Keyboard is comfortable, and bundled software is great to show off the features. You'll be hard pressed to get over the novelty of this wonderful machine. You won't be sorry.
Best PDA out there (not including UX50).......2004-02-20
I have had several PDAs, and this is by far the best. I got it mainly for the built-in keyboard and high-res screen, but it is the total package. I sold my Dell Axim which was quite good to get the UX40 and I don't miss it at all.
Pros:
- Super compact
- Loaded with features
- Bluetooth built-in
- Great screen
- Keyboard is very convenient
- Multimedia
- Fast
- Super cool and well made
Cons:
- Battery life not great, but OK
- Kind of pricey
- Camera good only for low res pics
- Landscape screen only (not a big deal to me)
Buy it - you know you want it.
Love at first glance, but then..........2003-11-12
I love it the first time I saw it, using the excelent services of Amazon.com I have it in my hands in couple of days.
I changed from a nice Hp 1945 Pocket PC to Sony UX-40, but I'm not sure if was a wise idea:
1. The screen is too small to have a comfortable sight
2. Keyboard is nice in size but I don't like the feeling of the keys.
3. It's not cheap, and the software provided is very limited, if you want to use the other software provided, you have to pay.
4. Quality of photos is low
5. You have to carry the cradle if you want to charge it in your car with the proper adapter.
Very nice looking device but maybe is oriented to a younger market (but the price is not oriented to it)
I will give it a couple of weeks, if not convinced, maybe my wife can give me back the Ipaq 1945

Product Description
KDS created an enhanced display color monitors for professional graphics artists, CAD/CAM designers, Web authors, and demanding gamers and users who need clarity, brightness, workspace and accurate color reproduction in a display.The Visual Sensation Series monitors have large viewing area for plenty of workspace. They have a low-distortion flat screen with an anti-reflective, anti-static coating for increased picture clarity. For ease of use and installation, they feature on-screen digital controls to customize picture properties. KDS monitors are Plug and Play compatible for easy setup and use under Windows.
Amazon.com Review
If you're tired of squinting at the small monitor in front of you, the KDS Visual Sensation 21e is the 21-inch solution to your tiny-display woes. Whether you're a high-end CAD user, graphics professional, or even a casual user, the KDS VS-21e offers an advanced and robust display at a slim price. This massive display provides 19.9 inches of display, perfect for those who are bogged down by the clutter of overlapping windows.
The display quality of the KDS VS-21e amazed us; the display has rich color and tight contrast and brightness controls. We found the DVD playback to be bright and colorful, as were screens using various graphics programs. Onscreen controls include RGB color temperature, pincushion controls, horizontal and vertical convergence adjustment, and positioning controls. Calibration controls are a cinch with a four-button touch pad and easily navigable onscreen display menu.
Tired of the flicker of low-refresh-rate monitors? The Visual Sensation supports a whopping 1,920 x 1,440 at 75 Hz. And even if you prefer lower resolutions, the VS-21e supports sky-scraping refresh rates. For graphics professionals, the VS-21e provides BNC connections for a top-quality image. The only flaw we noticed was a slight geometric distortion that couldn't be corrected, in the corners of the monitor. Even with this rather minor flaw, the KDS Visual Sensation 21e is the all-in-one solution for graphics professionals, businesses, and even everyday users. --Dan Simpson
Pros:
- Professional graphics capabilities
- BNC input connection
- Inexpensive
Con:
- Slight geometric distortion in corners
Amazon.com Product Description
The VS-21e is designed for imaging and CAD/CAM/CAE professionals who want maximum performance for today's technology. A powerful tool for high-end graphics, production, scientific, and engineering design applications, its advanced features deliver sharp pictures, crisp colors, and precise lines with virtually no eyestrain.
Customer Reviews:
KDS's warranty stinks.......2004-03-24
Supposedly, we have a 3 year warranty. Well, I'm two and a half years into my warranty, and my monitor has failed. After two months of waiting for a replacement, they called me back and told me that I'd have to take a cheaper, new (but older--1998) model monitor that has an inch less than viewable and a .28 dot pitch.
I'll never buy another KDS monitor again.
Windows XP?.......2001-12-20
This monitor looks like a winner, but I wouldn't go out and buy one right now if I were you. Check for windows xp drivers and graphics card drivers for windows xp (if you have it) before buying this one. Once you do that, you will have an excelent and affordable monitor from KDS. Way to go KDS!
Excellent value; Why even consider a 17" or 19" monitor?.......2001-09-15
Over the years I've had lots of PCs and equipment. When I read the reviews before I bought this item I was a bit confused. Other reviewers made it sound like there would be installation issues, and that adjustments had to be made for crystal clarity. I didn't have to do anything but plug it in.
How could anyone who bought the KDS 21" VS-21E have anything but rave reviews. It's awesome! I will never buy any other monitor for any PC, for myself, or anyone else. Goodbye 17" and 19" monitors. If people ever figure this gem of a deal out smaller monitors will become extinct. KDS, you really outdid yourself! A most excellent price and value!
You will hate it if you have used flat screen monitors.......2001-08-28
I bought this to be a companion to my 2-year old 21" flat screen monitor in a dual monitor setup using the ATI Radeon VE video card. The decision was based partly on its price, partly on the KDS' nice warranty and partly on the reviews at this site. It turned out to be a bad decision, not because I got a bad unit which had unsharp text and graphics but more importantly because I just couldn't adjust my eyes to the screen curvature. If your eyes are already adjusted to a flat display, then you will shun this and all other monitors that have a curved screen. If you have never used a flat screen monitor before, I think this may not be a bad choice for an upgrade from your existing 17" or 19" monitor. However, with flat screen monitors costing just slightly more than curved screen ones, and the price differential narrowing each week, I think you owe it to your eye comfort to get a flat screen monitor, especially if you work several hours each day in front of one.
KDS VS-21E massive size + low cost.......2001-07-21
I bought this monitor in March of 2000 and it's now July 2001. It has been a wonderful monitor, except for the heat (but all 21" put out tons of heat), It's starting to flicker so I called KDS and they said they would ship a new one to me right away and replace it. Found out they have no questions asked 3 year warranty. I was very impressed. I mostly play Diablo2 and watch DVD's on it. and it's on 12 hours a day, for the price you can't beat it.
