The problem seems to be that convergence is used to cover up the fact
that the current crop of PDAs isn't good enough at what they should do.
Robert Benschop
I heartily agree with Robert. If convergence is the way to go, why is it
necessary for me to have Mobipocket, Palm Reader Tomeraider and Adobe just
to read e- books on my Palm T3. I suppose there is two issues there.
But if we get a new Apple PDA, I want the Newt's size, for e-books (maybe a
little smaller than 2000/2100) with either a plug-in/Bluetooth keyboard or
one like on my Psion 5mx, plus Newt's HWR. Most people only use diary, note
taking and occasional email and web browsing. I could even do without the
latter, if the other software was good. As for an on board phone and camera,
no thanks. Do a few things excellently well, not many just so so would be my
aim.
