Costing $299 in the US, the Palm TX handheld also features a 312MHz processor, 128Mb of memory with approximately 100MB user available of non-volatile flash memory protects users' documents and information, even if the device is not charged and the power runs down and an expansion card slot for MultiMediaCard, SD and SDIO formats.
