Sony Electronics has introduced two new Clie handhelds designed for wireless communications, portability and multimedia. The PEG-UX40 and PEG-UX50, both with built-in wireless connectivity as well as key processing components manufactured by Sony itself, will be available in Japan starting in early August and in the United States in early September. “The new Clies are a really great design,” Allen Leibovitch, IDC manager of wireless semiconductor research, told TechNewsWorld.
