Garmin Palm Device With GPS

Posted by timothy on from the useful-convergence dept.

Moritz writes "Garmin is introducing a PalmOS5 handheld with GPS, MP3 and 32MB of memory. That's very nice, but why is there no bluetooth? Why can't somebody just get the spec right? Other than that this seems to be a nice addition to the PalmOS lineup."

    WTF is up with you people at Slashdot? You'll have shit like SMS Messaging Unreliable and Speak & Spell Hacking For Fun And Profit, rendunant double stories and even outright lies but not something like:

    The EMP Cruise Missile has arrived. (articles,tech) (rejected) 2003-01-20 15:26:05
    Didn't think much of those EMP Artillery shells? According to Time Magazine, The US military has developed the High Powered Microwave cruise missile, capable of generating 2 billion watts of power broadcast over an area off 1000 feet, perfect for those late night electronic barbeques.

    Why don't you apply for a job there, I am sure it's just an oversight, in their engineering dept. They were probably not aware of bluetooth. You should be able to straighten this out quickly.

    While we are at it why not add WiFi (seems to be popular)and a 100gig harddrive, probably just a faux pas that you can fix as well.

    Slashdot need a sarcasm tag.
