PalmOne Introduces Three Handhelds

Oct. 1, 2003 - PalmOne today introduced three handhelds -- the Tungsten T3 handheld, for the most demanding professionals who need a best-in-class color and wireless handheld; the Tungsten E handheld, for value-conscious professionals who need premium power and performance; and the Zire 21 handheld, which offers more software, a faster processor and four times greater memory than the top-selling original Zire handheld while maintaining the $99 price point.
