will never happen. palm is junk
Yeah, but we're not talking about HP or anyother crap electronics company. We're talking about Apple. Look at the nano. That thing is friggin small.HasanDaddy said:I disagree ---- few companies have been able to replicate what Handspring did
HP has failed, Palm failed, and other are failing ---- RIM can do it, but it lacks touchscreen and multimedia
Handpsring was bought out SOLELY for its engineering designs behind the Treo --- only Palm has ownership over this engineering model, and that's why they are considered a hot commodity
There's not a lot more needs doing with the Palm T|X hardware other than the addition of telephony and more battery capacity which is easily 'doable'.shrimpdesign said:..You don't think that Apple can out-do Palm with a PDA with all it's years of beautiful industrial design?! I mean, c'mon, that might work on HP, but not Apple. Apple excells with cramming the coolest tech into the coolest case.
Chip NoVaMac said:I like the idea. It would put Apple on an equal footing in regards to PDA's and PDA/Cellphones. And with Apple's design insight - they may be able to giveus something better than M$...
1. I never said that Palm didn't make good PDAs. I was recently thinking of getting a T|X myself, but I've decided that my new iMac need more RAM first. I might get one someday for handheld wi-fi, but I still think that Apple can out-do Palm at any industrial design they can concoct.mpw said:There's not a lot more needs doing with the Palm T|X hardware other than the addition of telephony and more battery capacity which is easily 'doable'.
An Palm/Apple (Papple?) tie up with Apple handling the software (building on Palm's good OS, which was itself I believe based on the Newton's) in a very similar form factor to the T|X but in a PowerBook alloy finish would sell a million unit's in the first year if priced at under $450.
