2M is just what would consider fine (in account of usual size of PalmOS apps) and I think I could live with it for a reasonable amount of time.
I am a happy owner of PalmVx (I know, it has 8M) and I have 1M free. I have looked at memory stats and I have 2.5M in docs, 1.5M in plucker and around ~.5M of useful data, the rest is bunch of crap people are beaming to me (Palm based company with one really keen owner of m515).
Which leaves me on what You expect of PDA?
I think I can specify (and live with 2M):
- contact
- memo
- calc (custom, i hate palm calc)
- datebook (pretty satisfied with the default)
- one or two really stupid games to kill time on airport or business meeting
- infra to exchange info which is good average, on top of this I would like the following:
- serial cable & terminal emulator
- IP range/subnet calculator
actually I think, that 2M is not a big win and 4M would be better, but I think this Zire would be my choice if I would be considering a PDA for employees in small bussiness...
again: consider the size of applications (excluding dictionaries, city plans and other similar things) - that 2.5M of isilo docs are FreeBSD handbook, compete all 5 volumes of Hitchikers Guide to Galaxy, 5 other books...
I suppose, that Operator can check IMEI and subscriber number on its SMS gateway, but this needs an integration of customer helpdesk (to report spam) and SMS gw staff (to ban it).
The other way how to spam is to go thru e-mail2sms gateways - these could be easily checked by operator (ordb etc.) and via customer helpdesk centre.
And here we have a problem no law can solve: my mobile operator spams me with ton of messages regarding any stupid marketing action (which I do not want to know of), but I've subscribed to interesting mail list (active police speed radar places via sms in realtime, nice) via email and this is filtered out as spam. And worse, any host used to forward these messages is banned from the network.
- the result: Do NOT choose T-Mobile anywhere in Europe.
I've made a change recently, but:
Still I get a TON OF SPAM from my own mobile operator. Do You think, that this is the law, that will provide anyone from stoping mobile operator from spamming its customers?
Have You read the "EULAs" (:-)? Something like: "...customer agrees to receive occasional messages pointing out new features of our glorious network?..." - can the law force operator not to send spam to the customer, who explicitly wants it?
I would not need whois to find an address where to land hijacked jet. Maybe I can review local Yellow Pages (if its not against the U. S. law to export Yellow Pages) or use other useful tools
