Palm (formerly PalmOne, formerly Palm) has updated its product lineup with new versions of the Zire and Tungsten series, both of which have been reduced to single letters:

• The Z22 is a new low-end model priced at $99. It has a 160 x 160 display, 32MB of memory, 200MHz processor, and runs PalmOS 5.4 (Garnet).
• The TX is the new high-end model. It has a 320 x 480 display in the classic Tungsten E form factor, runs PalmOS 5.4, 128MB of memory, a 312MHz processor, an SD card slot, and built-in WiFi (802.11) and Bluetooth networking support. It retails for $299.

I’m not too excited about any non-smartphone PDA these days, but the Palm line was in need of an updated high-end model—the bulky LifeDrive doesn’t count.
