It also helps a user to listen to tunes, play games and videos or audio books with built-in mono speaker or stereo headphones with standard 3.5 mm headphone jack.

However this device with the Tungsten 5 WiFi card has not been functioning as per the expectations of the users. See this as an example. This is what a user had to say?

?I woke up Sunday morning to find that the WiFi in my Tungsten C was no longer recognized. Not ?no longer connecting? which would mean my wireless is down ? no longer recognized, as in, if I bring up net-sensitive app it hangs up for a few seconds and then says ?Wireless radio cannot be found, please insert SDIO card?. Since WiFi is built into the C, that's a scary error message. There was no explicit event that occurred which would lead me to think it is physically broken. I was just using it the night before at a friends place to help work on his router. That night I left it on the nightstand, and when I woke up and tried it, nothing. I tried a restore of software. I tried a hard reset. Nothing worked.?

That is not very good news.
