Treo, Combination Cellphone and PDA

Posted by michael on from the itty-bitty-fingers dept.

I love my Blackberry, and it looks like the keyboard is the way to go for email. And the next version coming later on next year will have color." We mentioned these earlier.

    Some one should tell all the 'little girlies' that seem to buy new mobile phones every other month to keep up with the latest ring tone, vibrator mode, or plastic cover with mickey mouse on that a proper web able phone would let them use chatrooms.

    That would immediately become the new killer app. They would kill their brother for one! They would become mass market items, the price would plummet!

    Then 'we' wouldn't be forced to pay stupid amounts of money for this kind of kit, on expensive tarriffs.

    They'd be Xmas present territory!
    How good would that be? We should start a campaign!
