Comments on: Color Palm By Next Summer?

In the middle of a perpetually crowded booth at Comdex, pdamart had a conversation with Palm Computing's Director of Consumer Product Marketing, John Cook. In a discussion that touched on a variety of topics, he talked about when Palm might come out with a color device. "We don't feel in a compelling hurry to get there," Cook said. "Summer (2000) wouldn't be too late. If we can make it happen sooner we would."

why do we need colour?

Colour isn't something we need on a palm, is it? I mean, come on.... it's gonna increase weight, cost and
battery drain, for what? Just so you can see pretty
pictures. The only real use I can see is for complex
colour-dependant maps, eg London Underground.

Maybe when colour becomes real cheap, light and
low-power (light emitting plastics, perhaps?) it'll become sensible, but I'd rather have
a month long battery life in a pocketable device than
a one day battery life in a winCE sized brick...

Why Color?

Productivamente, un Palm significa una parte del escritorio en la palma de la mano con la posibilidad de conectarnos y mantenernos informados. El color sería, además de un lujo (más un capricho), un desperdicio de baterias que no incrementa la productividad de los Palm. Quienes utilizamos en nuestro día a día un Palm, sabemos que son una herramienta indispensable en cosas muy concretas: administración de finanzas personales, cosas por hacer (to do), Agenda y consulta de canales de internet como periódicos y sitios de finanzas, y para todo esto el color no es necesario... Quizá una mejora sería una arqutectura abierta en la expansión de equipo (al estilo IIIx) pero con mayores utilidades (Visor), tal vez ahí se encuentra el futuro de los Palm, no sólo en el color.
