Pictures Leaked of 3 new Palm handhelds
ahecht writes "On Thursday, Palm's Solutions Group's CEO Todd Bradley announced that 3 new handhelds will be released in October. Within 24 hours, pictures of all three handhelds have leaked out
on the web. The first to be released, the sub-$100
Zire, can be seen here. The second handheld,
previously known as
Oslo, now has
the name Tungsten T,
and features OS 5 and built in bluetooth (pictured
here).
The third handheld is the
Tungsten W,
pictured
here,
which is a GPRS smartphone (although it does not have a built-in speaker or
microphone). Zire will be released October 7th, while
both Tungsten models will be released on October 28th." Could just be rumors or fakes, but it seems reasonable.
Hey! New Palm devices! And they still don't do anything useful. Well, I suppose if you are a hopeless geek, it makes you feel like you are important and busy enough that you need a computer with you at all times just to survive. Palmtops of all kinds are for dorks.
Funny, but... the point is that, faced with competition from Pocket PC and WinCE, Palm OS is considered "old" and "outdated" and "lacking in functionality". I was under the impression that they were going to change things. (Another poster claims OS6 will be the one that breaks the API).
ZOMG I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS ON MACINTOSH VERSUS WINDOWS, VI VERSUS EMACS, AND HOW YOU'RE NOT A DORK
