| Posted By: Chuck Darwin Posted On: Dec 15, 2008 Views: 977 | Dream Palm There is absolutely no reason why Palm can't hit a home run with the next OS. Palm has a management team in place that did the same thing with the iPhone, so why not? They just need to make a high quality product that's easy to use and has a good and good-looking interface. It should be made out of something that feels high quality. In other words, some kind of metal. Or at least an upscale model in metal. It interface must be much better than Palm's current interface. Scrolling must be improved. Currently you have to choose between a page at a time with the buttons or about a 5 pixel wide scroll bar on the right. Neither is satisfactory for web surfing or, frankly, for reading documents. Particular attention must also be paid to the phone interface, and to the interface between the phone and the contacts book. The look of the interface must be top-notch. It must have built-in interoperability with Microsoft VPN and push e-mail through that service. Its battery must last a long time. It must have at least QWVGA resolution, widescreen view, and a decent screen size. The web browser must be Java capable, must run Youtube. Palm must offer a version without camera, and should ideally fill up the space with more battery capacity. Li-ion batteries can be manufactured in any shape. Seriously, this is needed for certain business users such as attorneys, who are barred from bringing photo-capable phones inside federal and some state courtrooms. I'd pay more for a cameraless version with larger battery capacity. It needs a good built in digital ink app. I bet Palm could buy Pennovate Notes; it should at least implement something similar. Its music player should interface with iTunes, at least as well as Amazon's download service does. |
| Posted By: JB Posted On: Dec 15, 2008 Views: 1028 | Palm is no more I have waited for years for Palm to catch up to the rest of the world and they have proven they are leaving the PALM OS and moving to Windows for the professional or more robust hardware. Looks like Ia m moving to the Google phone and Android. Nice knowing you Palm, too bad you had to leave us. |
