Sorry, just couldn't resist...

I have been a Handspring supporter for a long while now.. but that has all changed with the arrival of the Treo family and the neglect that Handspring is showing to the product that made them rich in the first place; the Visor.
I really was hoping for a new replacemnet for the Prism, but if the closest that Handspring can come is the Treo 90, count me out. Did Handspring just completely forget about the springboard?!? I don't want a built in keyboard, I don't want a tiny device that is smaller than a piece of chalk, I don't want a combo device... I just want a PDA with a crap load of memory, mp3 capabilities, video playback, a good HTML editor (like Dreamweaver), a programming suite (like MS Visual Studio), adobe photoshop, 3D Studio Max (or Maya) --> pretty much I want my computer that I am using now, small, fitting in the palm of my hand, and running on the Palm OS... Is that too much to ask?

Oh well, maybe a Clie will suffice for now..

this opinion has never been expressed before. no really, never.












































palm os is NOT a good multimedia computing platform. we will all just have to live with that and buy zauruses. Lemme tell you, a PDA with a command line just excites me.

What you are describing sounds like a PocketPC to me!

no, if he mentioned "...and I want the battery to last for maybe 2 hours and plenty of crashes...yes, plenty of crashes" ... THEN he'd be describing a PocketPC!

I like my Zaurus. It comes with an app to code HTML, not Dreamweaver, and does multimedia . Plus average app size is that of a large PALM OS app but the Z has 32MB of storage RAM...
