A Palm for Every Purpose

fm6 writes "We can look forward to a round of niche devices running PalmOS. According to the Forbes article, we're looking at PalmOS in: a game device called Helix , a platform for developing 'customized handheld instruments' called the Meazura, and of course, the usual round of PalmOS cell phones. On the other hand, fewer manufacturers seem to show any interest in making general-purpose PalmOS PDAs. Food for thought."

    i am still going to hold off until microsoft comes out with a collar-based PDA with GPS capabilities. if they were cheap (or simply mandatory) i think everyone would grow to love them.

    XP collar edition does not sound that far away, i am going to embrace the "freedom to innovate" and hope i don't catch anything.

    Summary of this article...

    Hey - you can get all different kinds of Palm devices! There's one for playing games and there's another one for doing science stuff! Palm and Sony make Palm devices for use as organisers! Cool!
    Tune in next week for "There's these things called peripherals that you can plug into your computer to make it do stuff!"
    What? You mean I'm actually getting paid for this?! This is like, so cool!
