  1. Make PDAs Open Source by Lieutenant_Dan · · Score: 0, Troll

    We must permit the Open Source community of developers access to the global strategy in PDAs. We are sorely lacking in standards, which only the Open Source community can provide. With their vast experience and technical knowledge, they can assist any large corporation such as Dell, Psion, or Miratech to provide the public a PDA that fulfills all their needs.

    Only when we allow the Open Source community to assist us in PDA development will we able to topple HP's reign in programmable calculators.

    Networking products, printers, wireless, handhelds? Seems like Dell is about to spread themselves too thin. God knows they need a new marketing department after that "Dude, yer gettin a Dell" bomb. Will this lead to a degradation of quality in their desktops and servers?
