Previously Palm has launched a phone accessory, made of a large display and a QWERTY keyboard, which were created to make web browsing and emailing easier. The high price of Foleo and moderate features made it unsuccessful at users. The main idea of REDFLY C8N and C7 are the same, but they are made for Windows Mobile (5.0, 6.0 and 6.1) Standard and Professional devices, and they can connect to the handsets with a USB cable or Bluetooth. The difference between the two models is that C7 weighs only 0.7 kilograms, it provides 5 hours of uptime with its 2000 mAh battery, while C8N weighs 0.9 kilograms (the size is the same), has an 8.4" 800 x 480 display, a 4800 mAh battery providing 8 hours of uptime and MediaPort support. This includes (after purchasing a cable for 20 dollars) TV-out, iPod, iPhone, Zune and digital camera connectivity. The 228.6 x 152.4 x 25.4 mm large accessories have Bluetooth 2.0 support, USB keyboard and mouse connection, VGA output and access to external USB storages. The success of REDFLY C8N and C7 will probably be reduced by the fact that for the price of 229 and 299 dollars, one might buy a nice little netbook.
