PDA

got almost as much exposure as I did when my blouse failed to contain the evidence of my over indulgence.

i have palm t/x. much less memory and more limited video handling than the ipod touch but with a lot more apps now, full cut and paste so i can use it to do work, and the basic ability to draw if i need it. otherwise the two are very similar.

it’s fast! it’s handy! i love it! and i wouldn’t own it if i carried a mobile phone! i’d have a treo, even though the treo’s bad at video.

the ipod touch is basically an iphone for people who hate at&t. it’s not the second coming of the newton.

yes, and so is anyone who thinks a PDA without telephony is useful.

You still use floppy disks? Are you stuck in a time warp?

Apple has done the hard work, creating the device, its O.S., its user interface, its connectivity. Adding productivity applications should be the EASY part now, whether they are written by Apple or by 3rd parties using an SDK.

The tablet format is dead and completely useless except for special places like hospitals and warehouses. It’s too big to be as portable as a PDA and as big as a laptop.

Long live the Newt… I mean the iPod touch!

wait maybe we don’t need clipboards anymore. maybe they’re like floppy disks.

oh good — just in time to be a major player in the last throes of the non-telephonic PDA market — a personal assistant without a clipboard.
