It remains to be seen what they do with this network, however Nagel mentioned awhile back that they would be doing some innovative things with this technology.
An advantage this has over 3G services, is that it is already very widely deployed, inexpensive and has better in-building penetration that other current mobile based options. RE: Not as important as 3G!!gfunkmagic @ 1/9/2003 3:25:09 PM #
Here is a theory about the real shape of PalmSources strategy with HuneTec? Is PalmSource trying to levarage HuneTec's 2-way messaging technology as an alternative to SPOT? The ReFLEX network provided by HuneTec is conceivabibly cheaper and more reliably than cdma/1xrtt or gsm/gprs(edge) networks, so would not this relationship make sense? This way you could have Fossil pda-watches with ReFLEX 2-way messaging technology integrated for always on wireless conectivity just like SPOT! Does this make sense or am I wrong here?!! Any thoughts....
 Official Korean localization for Palm OS?
Not mentioned in the article is the idea that this could lead to a localized Korean version of Palm OS. I don't know if HuneTec makes a lot of items for their home market, but if they do, I'm sure they'd want the ability to deploy apps in their own language. So far, there's been no offical support for Korean, but the PilRC resource compiler tool does support one Korean character encoding already.

This is not a picture of a Palm device! 160x128?? That's not Palm.
Their website is www.hunetec.com but they don't have a picture of their ReFLEX Palm device up yet. Maybe soon.

If I'm not wrong this type of pagin technology is used widely by contractors especially in the courier trade, some parts of the construction industry, and so on. This is also a very large market.
Though it may not impact consumers directly, I can already imagine a number of interesting uses a "smart pager" can be put to. Especially one that's relatively easy to support and develop for. Kudos to Palm for making this initiative.
