Palm.. What are they thinking?

by Mike

Ok, so Palm released their new models today and once again, I’m disappointed!

I’ve been waiting to replace my palm Vx which has become slowly unstable over last couple of years but they keep on moving away from the small form factor! Introducing thumb keyboards, which have almost no value for me, and adding 802.11b to the mix. If I want to surf the web, I will use my computer! Thank you very much!
I know, I know, it’s just a PDA and I don’t have to buy it if I don’t like it. But what is a PDA? should it not be as portable as it possible? I mean, it would be more compact to carry a small paper day planner! What’s up with that? I don’t need one device that tries to do too much and fall short of doing any one task perfectly. I just want a device does one thing PDAs are originally designed for and do that very very well.

I guess the waiting game continues. I’m a very unhappy former Palm supporter.
