The Clie NR lineup consisted of handheld personal digital assistant (PDA) devices developed by Sony, introduced in March 2002. These PDAs were notable for their unique folding "Flip-and-Rotate" clamshell design, featuring a vertically rotatable screen, aimed at users interested in cutting-edge device configurations.
PEG-NR70
The Clié PEG-NR70 operated on Palm OS 4.1 and included a color screen, compact thumb keyboard, and multimedia support such as playback of MP3 and Atrac3 audio files through an integrated speaker—capabilities that were rare in PDAs during that period.
