Palm T|X and Z22 Reviewed
robf writes "The eagerly awaited Palm T|X and Z22 have been officially announced. Palminfocenter has reviews posted for both the Palm T|X and the Palm Z22." From the article: "The T|X and Z22 are the first new models to return to the Palm name, after the company reacquired the rights to the Palm name. Palm has decided to drop the Tungsten sub brand, in order to highlight the strong Palm name brand."
This is a personal information manager, not an ipod competitor, not a pimp toy, none of that stuff. I bought Palm machines over the years and I really resent that the crossing over of the device into the moronic mainstream meant Palm had to deal with user feedback that was in my opinion quite idiotic. This was a device that got its breakthrough for being able to organise your days, keep your appointments, tasks and contacts for years to come in pocket and within a click, and so on - but then the morons got on board and you had all those 'users' complaining about not being able to watch movie trailers or simpsons' episodes on their device, why oh why would I want to watch a movie trailer on my personal information manager?!!! to my horror palm went along with their nonsense and 'pimped' out the devices till reliability in build and operation suffered and battery longevity was devastated - battery life went from a month to now just a few hours, ranging from less than 3 in some devices to 7 at most in the most undesirable device (z21). I hate those who won't buy a Palm if it won't play a song or a movie trailer - just friggin' don't buy it and shut up about it alright.
Do not ask why I need that much memory, or I'll just toss a Bill Gates quote back at you.
The Russians have won. They have made the world a cesspool of distrust, greed, fear and hate.
