JiWire's Quick Take
Likes
Well-integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, bright pivot screen, very good Web browser and email apps, full multimedia playback support (photos, music, videos), competitive price.
Dislikes
Short battery life, battery not user-replaceable, no voice recorder.
Good for
Almost everybody will love this sleek Wi-Fi Palm that does both multimedia and office apps well. The price is right!
Bad for
Those who want the maximum horsepower, battery life, and Windows integration will prefer a high-end Pocket PC -- with a high-end price tag.

PC Magazine "The TX replaces the Tungsten T5 in Palm's lineup, and it's interesting to see what Palm tweaked in the new device. Out goes the 416MHz processor, 256MB of storage, and unusual flash-drive mode. In comes Wi-Fi, a 312MHz processor, 128MB of storage, and a $100 price drop. Though this might look like one step forward and one step back, we think it's in line with what users want. It's easier and cheaper to add more storage to the TX than it is to add Wi-Fi to the T5."
CNET "Aside from built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the TX crams a long list of features and solid performance into a sleek package that can go head-to-head with its Pocket PC counterparts."
