It also plays MP3 or MPEG from the MemoryStick slot. All of this packed into a case about 4&#8243; x 3&#8243; x .7&#8243;.

Memory can be expanded with the new Memory Stick Pro with up to 1 gig sticks (maybe more in the future.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony has announced yet another PDA in a completely new form factor; the UX50 is similar to the Sharp Zaurus 760 in that it has a keyboard and flip around 480&#215;320 screen, but the Sony runs Palm OS5, has 16 megs of usable RAM (with 22 megs of ROM) plus internal 802.11b and Bluetooth, and &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/streettech.com\/?p=8055\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;New Sony PDA; WiFi, BT, Camera&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gadgetry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8055","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8055"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8055\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8055"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8055"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8055"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
