The CLIÉ range is distinguished from other Palm OS models by its emphasis on multimedia capabilities, including video. Later models have been credited with spurring competition in the previously stagnant Palm market, closing many of the gaps that existed between Palms and PDAs powered by Microsoft's Windows Mobile Pocket PC operating system.
An acronym for "communication, link, information and entertainment", the name is apparently an attempt at a new coinage, though it means a tool in a French dialect.
Update: Jun 2, 2004
Sony just announced that they will pause introducing new CLIÉ models in the US & European market in the 2nd half of 2004. More details can be viewed from the following linked documents
