TIMEX is planning to introduce a new Sinclair/Timex machine to the American market in the near future. It will be an upgraded version of the T/S1000, of which Americans have been critical since it was introduced last year.

The T/S1500 will be introduced on June 1. It will have a regular typewriter-style keyboard with movable keys and also an on-board 16K RAM.

Timex claims that the machine will have the simplicity of the T/S1000-ZX-81 look-alike and will retail for approximately $100. Timex says that the new keyboard and 16K RAM are free add-ons.
