While the majority of handheld makers seem to be targeting the sub-$300 market, Sony hasn't been shy about going after high-end buyers. Last year, the company delivered the superslick but pricey CLIE PEG-NX70V ($600), and by the end of February, it'll begin selling the step-up NZ90, a CLIE with a swiveling screen. This top-tier handheld also boasts a built-in 2-megapixel camera, a keyboard, and Bluetooth support, as well as a whopping $800 price tag. This is neither your everyday PDA, nor is it meant for the average user. And while the NZ90 is clearly loaded with features and offers top-notch performance, it's too bad that Sony didn't include built-in Wi-Fi--especially at this price. Sony's step-down NX70V isn't very pocket-friendly, and the NZ90 is even less so. While Sony has moved the CompactFlash slot to the bottom of the device, this is still a pretty thick handheld. And at 3.0 by 5.6 by 0.9 inches and 10.3 ounces, the NZ90 is more likely to be toted in a briefcase than in a pocket.
