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."

The Battle Rages On

[snitty]

There seems to be a battle growing between integration and segration in the Computer Industry.

First it was the internet appliances, with the thinking that people would eventually want seperate "computers" for web browsing, typing, etc.

Now we have the idea of tablets as alternatives to laptops, and a camears being integrated into phones and PDAs.

It seems that people can't decide how many devices they want on them at any givem time. Will we ever see a balance between integration and segragation of digital devices?
