Intel Core 2 Duo ProcessorExperience improved energy efficiency, expanded wireless connectivity, and amazing battery life with the 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which has a super-fast 1066 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and an extra-large 6 MB on-chip shared L2 cache running 1:1 with processor speed. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

The new hafnium-infused circuitry--which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors--conserves even more energy, giving you more time away from the wall outlet. With 6 MB of shared L2 cache, data and instructions can be kept close to the two processor cores, greatly increasing performance and allowing the entire system to work more efficiently. And, because the processor cores share the L2 cache, either can use the entire amount if the other happens to be idle.

When on the road, you can pair the UX50 with other Blue tooth enabled devices to transfer data between CLIE handhelds, HotSync with a PC, or connect to the Internet via cell phone service (phone service with data plan required).

The PEG-UX50 also features a built-in digital camera with a 3x digital zoom for taking snapshots. The camera also lets you record and playback video (recorded as MPEG4 files). The PEG-UX50's touch screen is a high-resolution widescreen 480 x3 20 display, which allows Web pages to be more readable. The UX50 also features a full QWERTY backlit keyboard and 29 MB of dedicated internal media memory for storing multimedia content (the UX50 can also accept memory sticks for added memory capacity). Also included is an automatic data back-up feature that protects your information by moving data in RAM memory to non-volatile memory when a low battery state is detected.

From Wikipedia

Palm OS 5 (not called 5.0) was unveiled by the Palm subsidiary PalmSource in June 2002 and first implemented on the Palm Tungsten T. It is the first version released to support ARM devices, with support for DragonBall applications through the Palm Application Compatibility Environment (PACE) emulator. Even with the additional overhead of PACE, Palm applications usually run faster on ARM devices than on previous generation hardware. New software can take advantage of the ARM processors with small units of ARM code, referred to as ARMlets.
