Comments on: Lots of Rumors Flying About the m700

A reader recently filled out a poll sent to him by Palm Inc. One of the questions was, "Consider this new PDA/Handheld with the following features: compact size, sleek design, Palm OS, corporate email access (behind the firewall), Web-based email access, always on notification of incoming e-mails, instant messenger, Web browser, Web clippings, industry standard expansion slot (not proprietary), 8MB standard memory, monochrome screen, no external antenna." This certainly seems to be a complete description of the upcoming m700 and might even answer some questions about it. It looks like the m700 will not have a color screen, will have an SD/MMC slot, and will not have an external antenna.

m700 Pricing

I.M. Anonymous @ 7/21/2001 12:39:03 PM #
Anybody have a prediction on the price? :)

Hopefully, they won't cross the price of the M505. Trade off color for always-on wireless capability.

RE: m700 Pricing
GrouchoMarx @ 7/21/2001 2:46:18 PM #
Traditionally, Palm has put its high-end model at $450 and pushed everything else down. With the VIIx price being dropped way down, and the continuing revenues from subscribers, and PocketPCs slowly inching into Palm's price territory, Palm would be foolish to make it that expensive this time. More than $300 would be a serious mistake.

On the other hand, they want to avoid canabalizing m505 sales.

See why running a business is so difficult? :-)

I'd have to imagine that it will cost more than $400 unless Palm lowers the price of the m500

LOL, Hiku Man.

I think there is a high likelyhood that the Palm.net service is going to be the backbone of the m700, though there area probably network upgrades and hardware upgrades that will make the device more functional. Aside from the always-on feature, my guess is that the VIIx will be able to make use of the network upgrades (faster better browsing) and that the m700 will be limited by the inherent problems of Palm.net (PQA based browsing). It'll probably still be k-based pricing, which will be a big bummer.

hmmmm... so this is essentially a marriage between an m500 and an VIIx.

Now for the really tough choice - keep the m505 or move to the m700.

Which do you want more - wireless or color?

I want color and wireless. You can't beat the clarituy of a color display, the m505 display is not that bad and better than the IIIC. I am totally pissed. I was hoping not to have to carry 2 palms IIIc and VIIx. If this is where the its going. I might as well buy the m505 for the expandibility and keep using my VIIx rather than buy a wireless modem for the m500 series. This way I can at least use my palm pix and keyboard.

havent you guys seen the Samsung SPH I300? it is a cellphone with a bilt in color palm. the screen is only 8 bit but it will be realeased in august for sure it works on the sprint PCS network and looks to be a m505/pcgnc710 killer with its instant inet access and color! it is only 6 ounces and the case looks small and cool the graphiti area is software to add to screen size for web surfing or email reading. this is the machine im waiting for and unless the m700 turns up in color i wont be interested this merges a bad ass celly and a cool palm in one light package that looks muuuuuch cooler than kyoceras ugly brick. in the end u buy a handheld for business or for pleasure and the SPH I300 totaly fufills the pleasure category and surely can fulfil the business category adequetly. the only thing it is missing is an expansion slot. but as far as im concerned expeansion slots are over rated especialy if the product already has wireless integrated. I have had a visor for a couple of years and dont own a single springboard card and feel none the worse for it. they have yet to implement and real killer springboard cards at decent prices. i dont knwo about u but i am not willing to pay the smae amount i spent for my handhelp for some proprietary expansion gizmo of dubious worth. haha ok enoug ranting excuse the spelling please im terrible.. l8rs

RE: m700

Novatel will lose out on this one big time if it does come out in August since they don't even have a
modem out for the M500 Series yet. The last date I heard was end of Aug or early Sept.
If the M700 comes out before Novatel I think they will take a big loss, and hopefully the M700 will do that to them.

Cheetah @ 7/21/2001 2:05:31 PM #
A couple of random comments:

1. An always-on Palm may be a Blackberry killer (I think someone at Palm coined this phrase). If it was to have the wireless coverage as good, or better then Blackberry, then Palm will be opening up a whole new market (and be able to charge for service fees, not just for hardware) and gaining customers they may have lost to Blackberry. Maybe a key to their recovery.

2. As I mentioned the first time I saw those pictures, not only do I think they are real (unless the people faking it own a design company), but I REALLY like the design. So far my favorite design is the Palm V/505 style, but I like the 700 design even better (if it's as small as the 505). Also, IMHO the designs from the Palm camp cream the designs from the PPC camp.

3. I would buy this Palm in a heartbeat if it was in color, was about the size of a 505, and had similiar battery life (although I don't see how it would achieve this if it was "always on", even at a sleep-mode level).

4. I don't hear any rumblings about this type of PDA/Blackberry combo from the PPC camp.

5. Go Palm!

The ultimate Palm

I.M. Anonymous @ 7/21/2001 4:48:25 PM #
IMHO: The ultimate Palm would be the size of the m500 series, the 320x320 resolution of the Sony N610C with 65,000 colors, 16MB DRAM, the wireless capabilities of the VII(VIIx), an SD/MMC slot. It sounds like the m700 is started on the path......maybe a possible m705???

neither of you are realizing that that is fricking impossible! there isn't enough SPACE inside the m505 to fit all that crap. infact, the reason the left rail is smaller is because otherwise THEY COULDNT FIT IT IN! now try adding all of your sh**, and it would literaly DOUBLE the thickness!

technology is advancing so quickly, i wouldn't dare say anything is impossible. i say if it's do-able, palm should seriously come up with 320x320 resolution unit the size of the m505 and call it m705 or whatever.

RE: The ultimate Palm
GrouchoMarx @ 7/22/2001 1:53:21 AM #
I'd rather see 240x320 than 320x320. Yes, it's harder to scale up old apps. But in return you get a soft graffiti area, and a natural upgrade path. 240x320 is just one pixel doubling from 640x480 VGA resolution. Already a standard size. That brings PDAs into the same aspect ratio as desktops (albeit rotated), and gives a very clear upgrade path with no more funky non-integral scaling. Get the hard part over with now, and save trouble tomorrow.

RE: The ultimate Palm
I.M. Anonymous @ 7/22/2001 1:28:35 PM #
The only thing that might increase the size much is the wireless connectivity, but the rumored m700 sounds like it is fairly compact. The 320x320 resolution occupies the same space, it's just a better screen! The 16MB DRAM is identically the same size chip as the 8MB! The SD/MMC already exists in the m500 series! I don't call this stuff "SH**", I call it an advancement in technology. Just as we increase the amount of memory in our PC's (Cost decreases, amount of memory that comes in a PC increases), we should do so in our Palm devices.

Next time, check out some palm upgrade websites before you speak!!!

As organic LED matures, Palm should be able to fit a low power color screen ina device that's the size of the M50x, and still have room for all the stuff it needs for the M70x.

Given the fact that OLED screens are also flexible, it may be possible that as long as they can carry a digitizer layer, future Palms may have rollaway screens - something like the gadgets in "Earth Final Conflict".

If we are talking "ideal Palms," I think some of you people need a clue in the creativity department. Lookit what that person wrote about flexible organic LEDs... That stuff will rule, and will DEFINITELY happen withint he next 5-10 years tops. Same goes for always-on BROADBAND connection. High res screens, heck HOLOGRAPHIC screens (retinal-painting display goggle PDAs?) Need I go on? They will in many ways make our current desktops look paltry. My VIIx is WAY beyond my C64, and that wasn't very long ago...

Anyway, it isn't a matter of if, but when, when it comes to advances in computing (technology in general) over the next decade (or so). Look at the Net, and most people started hearing about that in '95 or so (and heck, think about how many people these days still have no idea what it is?) I still get a LOT of odd looks from my VIIx which I use all the time. When I tell people it has Net access they kind of bug. "Yah, I can check my email, check web pages, order movie tickets, get maps and directions, look up anything in the encyclopedia Brittanica or the MW dictionary, or buyt hings on Amazon.com or place bids on Ebay..."

I don't think the vast majority of people have ANY clue what they're talking about when they talk about the VII series in a derogatory manner. Or how bad Palm.net is. Palm.net is 45 bucks for unlimited access, so step on DAT. It's phat! The VII (especially the VIIx) is PHAT, and it, plus expansion cards plus "always on" and you have the TOTAL shizit! And that plus color would be even better, but perhaps byt hen we will be on to ARM and such...

But yes, I am waiting for the heads-up-display mounted on little slick glasses/shades that scans the image directly onto your retina (they have this today) and it's linked to the Net 24/7 via wireless broadband (and has NO toxic/radioactive microwave leakage -- AKA "frying of the brain and face and eyes.")

I'm sure that LAST part is strictly wishful thinking...

Re: next time, think before you make your requests!

Come on! I built my first computer around 7 years ago. It had a blazing 486 processor, a whopping 8 meg of RAM and a 450 meg hard drive. I am embarrassed to say what it cost. Today, I can get storage the size of my first hard drive on a CF card.

I will allow you this: if you work for Palm's development team (or if they think the way you do) they will not produce the device that we have described. But, if they understand what the users want, they will find a way to produce it. If Palm doesn't do it, someone else will and they will own the market.

no thanks...

Looks like a cool device, but I'd rather stick with color. Good thing that in Europe we have GPRS all over and it is very affordable too (about $12 per month in Greece - always on access).

So, I'll stick with my m505, couple it with Ericsson's T39m and have an always-on wireless color device. Too bad there isn't a phone on the market that takes full advantage of the 115kbps that GPRS is capable of, but 56 kbps (as in the T39) is good enough - especially since you don't get charged with time.

And the best part? When the bluetooth SD card from Palm is out, I'll be able to use bluetooth to connect with the T39m (what a phone :) ). No infra-red, no problems :)

Don't get me wrong - for some people the m700 may be ideal. I can see it killing the blackberry off in the corporate market easily. It looks like Palm is getting back on its feet.

Color's great, but think about the price.
You have about a few hours of instant on.

How about wireless and battery life?

I'd take those 2 anyday.
I have a Palm VIIx and Kyocera SmartPhone but both suffer from lack of on the road backup after a hard reset. The m700 in the PalmStation expose' form factor will reek havoc.
With OS4-WCA4,Attn Mgr and expansion, this is going to be a killer Palm. Imagine downloading your apps, pdbs wirelessly then moving them to expansion. Plus they have sled notches for maybe your GSM phone sled.
Heaven.
I don't think they will release it until Oct or Nov. with a price hovering at $399.
I would buy this in a heartbeat.- that is until the new wireless Handspring Twisty comes out. They have been studying this for a while and have strong commitment. Think Qualcomm and Blazer.
Oooo, there are going to be some nice Palm Powered handhelds by Q4 2001 or Q1 2002.

Color=big? I dunno, Nintendo seem to have it fairly down pat; the GBA has 240x160 screen and the thing measures up about the same dimensions as my m100, maybe a little thicker -Because It Uses AA Cells-. It gets a good few hours runtime off cheap rechargables too (20 claimed off alkies), and as far as I know doesn't use any kind of sleep mode to do it..

Maybe we should get PDA designers talking to console designers and see what happens :) there must be plenty of underused talent floating around out there now that wonderswan, neogeo pocket, sega (gamegear rules baby :) are out of the picture...

Why color?

Chris @ 7/24/2001 4:44:20 PM #
I challenge you to use a color machine for a week, and then try going back to mono. Its one of those things where you say was this really this bad before?

Color on a PDA is sweet.

I work for Staples and can only lell you that someone was pulling your leg, Ed. We aren't returning ANYTHING.

[Ed said: "Another reader who works at a Staples said that all their stock of the Palm VIIx have to be returned the week before August 13, which seems to indicate that the m700 might be available then".]
