Sony unveiled its latest Clie handheld Wednesday, the first to feature built-in wireless technology.

The new Clie PEG-NZ90 is scheduled to be available next month for a jaw-dropping $800. In addition to built-in Bluetooth capability, the device can also accommodate a Wi-Fi modem card, sold separately for about $150.

The pricey device is packed with features, including Sony's flip-and-twist LCD screen design, integrated MP3 player and megapixel digital camera, built-in AV remote controller application and voice recording capabilities.

Sony redesigned the USB cradle for the new Clie, too. The foldable charging unit features an AV output jack, allowing users to view JPEG images stored on the handheld on a separate monitor or TV. Users can print files on a compatible printer via the USB connection located on the side of the cradle. Both AV and USB cables are included with the device.

The NZ90 model is also the first Clie to feature a removable Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery pack. Sony said each battery pack lasts about 10 days with average use (30 minutes per day with backlight off). The battery also indicates remaining battery life in minutes.

Bundled applications include the CLIE Viewer, CLIE Album, Movie Player and PhotoStand programs. In addition to these, Sony has included Picsel Technology's viewer application, which allows user to view a wide variety of documents including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF and image files in their native format without conversion on the PC.
