That same page has been there for about 2 years. None of the up to date info about the MEZ1500 running GarnetOS is there, nothing about the PDA32, etc. I'm told they're working on a news release and will update the website then. The MEZ2000 was abandoned before release, maybe about 1.5 years ago. Swappable battery: Yes for the MEZ1500, No for the PDA32. Side buttons: just a pair of user-programmable side buttons, great for triggering a barcode scan, for example. GPS module: I know there is/was one for the MEZ1000 from a third party, not sure about use in the MEZ1500.

re: SCOOP: New GarnetOS (PalmOS) Handhelds Coming From Aceeca!
Checking the Aceeca website, I see the MEZ1500 (499$) and the MZIO-less RDA1500 (399$) are displayed, but no PDA32. Mentionned operating systems for these upcoming devices (shipping date TBA) are WinCE 5.x / WinCE 6.x and Linux, but no Palm OS. The Aceeca website lacks much details (in both text and photos) for its devices. I gather the Bluetooth option must sit inside since the RDA1500 doesn't have a MZIO slot. What are those side buttons? Is the battery swappable (it doesn't say)? Can a MZIO GPS be purchased? (news release say so, but I can't find this item among accessories.) Perusing the forums (no message more recent than August 2009), I read about the MEZ2000 as if it were old news, yet I don't find it anywhere. Same dimensions and weight as the MEZ1500, but with a VGA screen according to Tam's blog. Does it exist?

Hi Dmitry, If you look on the "Model Comparison" page on the Aceeca website, you can see which CPU is in the MEZ1500. I understand the PDA32 will have same CPU. I believe the SDRAM is 128MB not the 64MB shown on that chart. You'll have to ask Aceeca for the other specs. I have an MEZ1500 CE pre-release unit on my desk right now.

We've just been given clearance to release some info about the new devices: 1. MEZ1500 CE This device has been "coming soon" for almost 2 years, but is finally coming to market, scheduled for release the first week of March. This unit runs the Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 operating system. The MEZ1500 looks very similar to the MEZ1000, but features a QVGA colour screen, larger battery, side buttons, and additional wireless options compared to the MEZ1000. Of course, it features the trademark MZIO expansion port on the top of the device, for connecting barcode scanner modules, RFID readers, GPS receiver modules, and so on. It will support SD memory expansion also. We should have a MEZ1500 CE unit here for testing with Satellite Forms in a few weeks. List price on the MEZ1500 CE is expected to be $499, plus wireless options. 2. MEZ1500 Garnet Aceeca is working with ACCESS (formerly PalmSource) to load the GarnetOS on the MEZ1500, which will be the first PalmOS 5.x device from Aceeca. Running on the same hardware as the MEZ1500 CE version, the MEZ1500 garnet version offers a big speed increase from the MEZ1000, as well as the QVGA colour screen, twice the battery capacity, WLAN and Bluetooth options, SD memory expansion, and more. Aceeca expects to have beta units ready for testing at about the same time that the MEZ1500 CE version ships. Both the CE and Garnet versions of the MEZ1500 are built ultra-tough like their older brother the PalmOS 4.x powered MEZ1000. List price on the MEZ1500 Garnet is expected to be $499, plus wireless options. 3. PDA32 CE This is a brand new handheld that is smaller and less rugged than the MEZ1000 or MEZ1500 models. It is just slightly taller than a Palm TX, and about twice as thick. It has an ARM CPU, colour QVGA screen, but does NOT have the MZIO expansion bus, so it will not support add-on modules. It will have SD memory expansion, as well as wireless options. The first version of this device will run the Windows CE 5.0 OS. List price on the PDA32 CE is expected to be $199, plus wireless options. That is not a typo!! 4. PDA32 Garnet The same hardware as the PDA32 CE version, with the GarnetOS operating system! This will be the first new non-smartphone, non-barcode-scanner GarnetOS powered handheld released within the past couple years, with multiple wireless options and SD memory expansion. List price on the PDA32 CE is expected to be $199, plus wireless options. Amazing!! The PDA32 models are expected to start shipping in April.

The Aceeca PDA32 has a full size SD slot on the top exterior of the device, not under the battery. The PDA32 battery is not field replaceable, but it is a whopping 2600mAh in capacity, which is more than double what the Palm TX batt capacity was. Battery life is not going to be a problem with this unit. The MEZ1500 does have a field replaceable battery, and is even higher capacity than the PDA32. -- David Thacker http://www.SatelliteForms.net The Premier RAD Tool for PalmOS & PocketPC "David Thacker" <> wrote in message news:188...@palm-dev-forum... >I don't know the details yet of which SD format they will have, nor whether >the slot is accessible without removing the battery. > > FYI the Janam XP units can be ordered with the scanner module removed, > saving a couple hundred bucks per unit.

I spent so much over the years on graphical UI improvement using kCoordinatesNative for 320x320. Redoing that for QVGA would be just too much effort.

If you had followed the MEZ1500 (and formerly the MEZ2000) story from the beginning back in 2007, you would understand why Aceeca is hesitant to say too much before they are actually ready to ship. After pleading with them for several months, I finally got permission from the Aceeca CEO to start spreading this news, so that folks who are right now deciding whether to move from PalmOS to a new platform can be aware of the new PalmOS handheld options that are forthcoming. I know firsthand (from our customers) that there are many developers who would benefit from knowing that there are new GarnetOS devices coming to replace the low cost handhelds that used to be available from Palm Inc. -- David Thacker http://www.SatelliteForms.net The Premier RAD Tool for PalmOS & PocketPC "Luc Le Blanc" <> wrote in message news:188...@palm-dev-forum... > How come this news is delivered by a software provider and not the > hardware maker?

Re: SCOOP: New GarnetOS (PalmOS) Handhelds Coming From Aceeca!
Very interesting indeed - any news on availability in the UK? Regards Edward Jones David Thacker wrote: Here's some very interesting news for those of you still dealing in vertical/industrial markets: Aceeca is bringing several new handhelds to market in the next couple months, including models running the GarnetOS (aka PalmOS Garnet) operating system!! We've just been given clearance to release some info about the new devices: 1. MEZ1500 CE This device has been "coming soon" for almost 2 years, but is finally coming to market, scheduled for release the first week of March. This unit runs the Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 operating system. The MEZ1500 looks very similar to the MEZ1000, but features a QVGA colour screen, larger battery, side buttons, and additional wireless options compared to the MEZ1000. Of course, it features the trademark MZIO expansion port on the top of the device, for connecting barcode scanner modules, RFID readers, GPS receiver modules, and so on. It will support SD memory expansion also. We should have a MEZ1500 CE unit here for testing with Satellite Forms in a few weeks. List price on the MEZ1500 CE is expected to be $499, plus wireless options. 2. MEZ1500 Garnet Aceeca is working with ACCESS (formerly PalmSource) to load the GarnetOS on the MEZ1500, which will be the first PalmOS 5.x device from Aceeca. Running on the same hardware as the MEZ1500 CE version, the MEZ1500 garnet version offers a big speed increase from the MEZ1000, as well as the QVGA colour screen, twice the battery capacity, WLAN and Bluetooth options, SD memory expansion, and more. Aceeca expects to have beta units ready for testing at about the same time that the MEZ1500 CE version ships. Both the CE and Garnet versions of the MEZ1500 are built ultra-tough like their older brother the PalmOS 4.x powered MEZ1000. List price on the MEZ1500 Garnet is expected to be $499, plus wireless options. 3. PDA32 CE This is a brand new handheld that is smaller and less rugged than the MEZ1000 or MEZ1500 models. It is just slightly taller than a Palm TX, and about twice as thick. It has an ARM CPU, colour QVGA screen, but does NOT have the MZIO expansion bus, so it will not support add-on modules. It will have SD memory expansion, as well as wireless options. The first version of this device will run the Windows CE 5.0 OS. List price on the PDA32 CE is expected to be $199, plus wireless options. That is not a typo!! 4. PDA32 Garnet The same hardware as the PDA32 CE version, with the GarnetOS operating system! This will be the first new non-smartphone, non-barcode-scanner GarnetOS powered handheld released within the past couple years, with multiple wireless options and SD memory expansion. List price on the PDA32 CE is expected to be $199, plus wireless options. Amazing!! The PDA32 models are expected to start shipping in April.

Bluetooth would be most interesting in my case. As for the battery, is it field-replaceable?
