Comments Closed This article is no longer accepting new comments. To go beyond MB, they had to change the MemoryStick interface. It looks the same, but works differently, and requires slightly different hardware talking to the memory stick. The NX and NZ's can talk to the new sticks because they already have the new controllers. SD Memory has the controller built into the card. So there is no limit to how much memory they can fit in an SD card.
Now as for memory sticks, including memory stick pro, the controller is not built into the card. So the cards are limited by what the controllers in the units can do.
While 30 GB's may seem like a lot now, I bet you will hear people complaining in 10 years how that is not enough. Because of that I will not invest any money into Memory Sticks.
Oh Goodie!!! I've been waiting for this driver to come out and its finally here! RE: Oh Goodie!!! I need to stay mobile. People pay more money to go smaller when it comes to devices The point is there is no case I can buy that straps the laptop comfortably to my leg so I can take it anywhere. Laptops just arent as portable Several times I have found the need for my PDA at the park. Seeing an old friend to exchange notes and phone numbers..
You cant whip out your laptop, go to the application and take notes in under 5 seconds while strolling at the mall now can you? So if you tend to forget how your contacts look like, you can attach a picture taken with the camera.
The mechanical solution of course is marvelous. The complete camera is build into a 15 mm cylinder on top of the case, which can be turned about degrees.
So the lens can look in any direction within these degrees. That makes it necessary to flip the image from a certain turn point on yet another sensor! When you turn the lens completely inward towards the case, it's mechanically perfectly protected. Though, dust can still reach the lens, there's no tight seal or any other dust protection.
On the image above you can see the cylinder quite well, that's how it looks when the lens is hidden. Also visible is the 'Capture' button I did't mention yet. Pushing it not only takes a picture, but also calls the 'Camera' application in case it's not yet running - that's very handy. There's not much more to say about the camera unless you want me to rant about how 'underqualified' it is to challenge the excellent display.
It'll be the new NX70V that will bring that whole camera feature to true live. Not only that it'll come with a resolution of x which is at least usable to shoot web-images etc. Since we're talking about the image above, it's time to mention some other features of the NR70V. The supplied stereo headphones are equipped with a cable remote, allowing the standard controls like play, stop, skip and volume.
Like the NC for example, music can be playing in the background while other apps are running or the screen is shut off completely to safe battery. New is, that it can do that also without an attached headphone. However, the sound level and quality is exactly what you would expect from a dime-sized speaker. But it's still nice to have it for certain occasions.
Unfortunately it's again the new NX70V that will complete the audio features: Sound recording is not possible with the NR70V, while the NX will come with a microphone and the right apps. Since Sony is busy bringing a new model to market every few months, they obviously have to hold back even such obvious features.
On top, you'll find the MemoryStick bay as well as the infra red window. Behind that slightly wider window, the NR70V hides not only the usual integrated transceiver that takes care of the IrDA communication, but also an additional, discrete infrared transmitter diode that supplies the 'juice' for the IR-remote application.
I know, you came here for the pictures of the 'guts' I usually take :. Well, here they are. But for the first time, I didn't go all the way disassembling a unit. Also, taking out the main board wouldn't reveal that much more - probably the boring, sealed back of the keyboard. And the LSIs are all on the visible side of the main board. On the backside you'll find most likely only the power supply management, the converters for the backlight, the supply for the main electronic and the LiIon charger logic.
As you can see, Sony had to spare alot of room for non-electronics like the battery, the memory stick slot, the jog-dial and the speaker removed in the image, left of the memory stick. Considering that the NR70V chip count has grown again, the main board had to be high density assembled and all LSIs are coming in space saving BGA cases ball grid array.
Looking closer at the chips, you'll find a novum already in the CPU. It's a 66MHz type and never before was a Dragonball clocked that high. It's nearly a pity, that Motorola came out with it now as the Dragonball days are numbered.
It's 'snappy' and the high resolution doesn't harm the screen refresh time. Of course the CPU does not all the work. Again there's a multimedia chip from MediaQ, the MQ Unfortunately MediaQ thinks they have to protect their datasheets with a password. I didn't even bother to check what it needs to get one, but let me say a little side note here MediaQ, are you listening? We need them ready available, anytime, when we have to decide which chip might qualify for a certain project.
A company that protects their datasheets is right away out of the race! So guys, please! What's the big secret? I found a brief description of the MQ which should be anyway enough for a review: The MediaQ MQ Multimedia Platform Controller makes video capture and playback a reality for handheld devices with a built-in video input module, a dedicated 8-bit video input port, and a video engine called StretchBLT.
The MQ performs advanced functions like color space conversion and image scaling in hardware, which otherwise would tie up the entire CPU if executed in software. From that description you can guess, that the NR70V is not using all the potential of the MQ and I bet it's on board of the new NX70V too, which is able to capture small movies with its camera.
But I wouldn't hold my breath for software making the same possible for the NR70V. After all, the CPU has some duty in that process too and the Dragonball or its memory interface might really be too slow for that task.
Let's look at some details of the construction instead. Because of the turnable screen and the beautifully integrated camera 'eye', the NR70V requires, unlike any other Palm, alot of nifty mechanics. Lots of single cables are fitted everywhere through the hinges. On the image above you can see the flat cable that connects the camera. It's loosely turned a few times around the camera axle so it can compensate the degree movement the camera wheel can do. I'm mentioning all of that, since it's really relatively expensive for Sony to produce a device like that.
Much unlike a 'standard' PDA with close to no mechanical assembly. At least I look at the price of a device much different if I see that many detailed solutions. But it gets still better The wires are consequently fed further behind the screen to their connectors. If you like puzzles, try to figure out how and when Sony has to assemble the connectors on both ends which DON'T fit through the swivel hinge I think I don't need to say too much about the memory stick in general.
It's used like all other external memory devices with Palm OS. But there is a 'semi-official' problem with the NR70V and the memory stick.
I call it semi-official since alot of users had problems but Sony never confirmed serious problems. The memory stick wasn't recognized anymore, just like it wouldn't be inserted at all.
Funnywise at that time I didn't even know that a 'general' problem exists. But since I had taken my NR70V apart, I knew where a contact problem could occur and of course I did blame me for the problem :. So I took it apart once more and checked the seat of that really tiny connector between the plastic flat cable towards the memory stick bay and the main board. You can see the connector on the picture above most left the female part on the flat cable and most right the male part on the main board right below the Sony logo.
I just removed the connector once more, inspected the contacts with a magnifying glas and reseated the cable with the connector again - taking special care that it 'snaps' in place properly as far as you can call that tiny action 'snapping'. But surprisingly the memory stick worked again after that second 'surgery' and didn't fail since then. I can't say whether I just had luck and whether that cure works all the time.
But once you see that connector yourself, you know why I think it is possible that it came slightly loose. If the problem reappears, I even thought about fitting some thin rubber layer or such above the connector, so the case lid would hold it down when the device is closed.
But so far it works fine and I have no reason to improve my 'repair'. Before you can remove the connector, you have to remove these screws! The cradle of the NR70V is a very stylish design and optically fits the device perfectly. But it takes up alot of desk space. If you leave the NR70V closed, that works fine and you safe desk space.
But if you open the unit, it tips over backward. The small cradle of the T just can't hold an open NR70V. As mentioned, Sony used the same connector as on the T which works nice and smooth, but has the same disadvantage as it had already on the T The plug coming from the power supply is mechanically 'converted' by the cradle and you can't connect the power supply directly to the unit.
There are also two seperate cables running across your desk for power supply and the connection to the PC. It's a pity that they didn't implement the trend towards one cable that splits up under the desk. The supplied cradle is a pure USB type. And unfortunately there's no easy modification to RS like it was possible with the Palm m for example. They are located in the optional serial cradle or serial hotsync cable or such I guess something like that is available, honestly I didn't check it!
On the table below, you can see all the pin functions of the pin connector. The cradle connector only 18! My pin numbers are referring to the cradle. This is unusual, but right! So again: Pin 1 is the most right pin on the cradle when you look at it and it stands quite normally in front of you! In case you have trouble finding the right connector, try the site of Carsten Kurz. He offers a wide variety of PDA connectors and ready cables in small volumes.
I have no idea whether Carsten sells outside of Germany, but his page is written completely in German language. Cradle Pin from left to right. In the past, I made alot of efforts to meassure the power consumption of PDAs as exactly as possible. With and without backlight, with RS and without and so on.
