In Japan, where Palm and other U.S. PDA makers have failed to gain a large market share, Sony will be positioning the Clie as an accessory for the audio-visual or entertainment-conscious consumer while the U.S. market is more focused on its use as a work tool.
Sony has also included a few of its own applications, like Clie Viewer, Clie Album, Movie Player and PhotoStand, to take advantage of its unique functions.
