Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Sony's PEG-SJ22 features all the hallmarks of classic Sony design; while not going over the top with the range of included applications, it does represent good value for money. Anyone wanting to spend less than £150 on a PDA has until now had a strictly limited range of choices; however, Sony has addressed this with the release of the SJ22. The overall size and weight of the unit is diminutive, and it should slip comfortably into most pockets. The hardware is barely larger than the screen, which at 55 mm x 55 mm is the same as most Palm PDAs. A few millimetres on each side and at the top of the hardware are all the casing allows, with a little more than 20 mm at the bottom to accommodate four application shortcut buttons and a tiny rocker for scrolling around. This latter button is a tad fiddly to use, but there is a jog dial wheel and a Back button on the left side of the casing, which between them make the rocker pretty much redundant. Running Palm OS 4 and driven by a Motorola Dragonball VZ running at 22MHz, the Clié PEG-SJ22 has adequate power for most general PDA users. Its 16 MB of RAM should accommodate most contact lists and diary databases, and if you need to add more memory there is a Memory Stick slot. The 320 x 320 resolution display is clear and easy to read, and battery life is competent for a Palm at this price, with Sony quoting up to 12 days for the average user who makes 30 minutes of usage per day usage with backlight set off. Sony provides a smaller range of applications than you'll find on some of its more expensive PDAs, but the range is nevertheless fairly good, and includes PhotoStand and PictureGear Pocket both for viewing digital images, the Kinoma player for watching digital movies, CliePaint for drawing your own graphics and World Alarm Clock. --Sandra Vogel Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Best value for priceAbout a year ago I went shopping for a new PDA. I had an old Palm 100 and wanted to upgrade to something with a colour screen and enough memory to handle the 2MB free on AvantGo (now 3MB). I have to say in the past year I have grown to love the SJ22. I'm sure that a more expensive PDA would have more gimmicks but the SJ22 does everything the average user will ever need. Unless you are seriously into having the latest gadget in your hand then don't look too far beyond this machine. The only problem ... Read More Rating: - Good for a first time buyer but don't buy it newI am new at using PDA's and bought the Sony Clie sj22 within the last month. After significant deliberation at how much I was willing to spend on a PDA as a first time user and what was available I opted to buy a second hand PDA. I had seriously considered something like the Zire, which was functional but cheap as well. Having said that, it is not a colour PDA and for the same price I decided to buy a second hand clie instead. I would only have paid up to about £80-90 on this sort of PDA but above this, ... Read More Rating:  - Nice for a PDA Newbie (good 4 entry level colour screen)I did a lot of research on PDA's as I was new to the scene and didn't know what was what. I was not entirely sure how much use I would make of it, I weighed the price against the functionality. After a significant amount of reading other peoples reviews on the internet, i finally opted for this Sony...but I only wanted a second hand one at the right price. It was worth it for less than about 90 pounds but more than that I would compare it against some of the other PDA's at just over that price. Read More Rating: - Clie SJ22THe Clie is a nice piece of kit, and had it not been for the Pocket PC revolution with Microsoft providing the OS, it would have been brilliant. But, bearing in mind the similarity in price between this and, for example, the low-end iPaqs, It doesn't really shine. THe Palm OS is OK but quirky compared to MS stuff. The basic package comes with a few apps, but nothing to compare with the PocketPC stuff. So it's necessary to buy something like DocumentsToGo for Office compatibility, another £40. To ... Read More Rating: - Sony Clie PEG-SJ22I have just bought this excellent PDA. For the price this unit has pretty much everything you would like to expect. The software is easy install and allows you to be syncing with your new PDA within minutes. The set-up of the PDA itself is also extremely easy, simply set your country and calibrate the screen and you are away. This model contains the basic Palm applications including date book, memo pad and to-do list. Sony has also installed it's own suite of applications as standard. Picture Gear Pocket when ...
