In a recent PC World article a company source says the new Tungsten C handheld will be the first PDA bearing the Palm brand to use one of Intel's XScale processors. The new Tungsten C is scheduled to be released at the end of April.

Several sites reported that the Tungsten C showed up in the ordering system at Staples in February for $500, but Staples employees could not confirm any details at the time.

The Tungsten C will feature 802.11b wireless technology and of course, the new Intel chip.
