RE: Go INTC!
So far, there is no PALM device which use the 624 or 520Mhz processors, let alone 1ghz.

RE: Go INTC!
I am surprised to learn that they introduced a new video chips too and wonder if that means they are not putting a real video co-processor in the Monahan. I was surprised at the difference in a real video card vs built-in drivers run by the CPU on my desktop. I wonder how fast this 1.25 chip would be if they incorporated a real video area on the chip and put it in a Dell Axim X51v. Would it run graphics as fast as the X50 with separate chip on the board?
I don't use my Zire for videos, other than a very few I have from either the built-in camera or my other video cameras. I might use video more if I had a LifeDrive, or if I got a 4 gig memory card for a future PDA.
RE: Go INTC!
Not true. Our apps make use of the FULL grunt of the CPU of a Tungsten 3 for a sustained period of time. Bring on the fast CPU's!
As perviously said, developers will find a way to make good use of them, and indeed, cpu intensive multimedia platforms like Java and flash will get a massive performance boost.
RE: Go INTC!
The future isn't PDA...
RE: Go INTC!
Palm/PalmOne/Palm and PalmSource never thought to license it from Macromedia, who in turn boviously don't think that the Palm OS is enough of a viable platform for them to make it otherwise available.
What a sorry story...

Not to make you look like an idiot or anything but are you aware what has happened to Palm's PDA market share and profitability from 2000 -> 2005? Palm might not be dead, but it's sure doing a good job acting like they're dying.

VOR proven right soon?
Anyone catch the news that Theres a rumor on Wall Street that PALM is buying back PalmSource.This link is to an interview:
http://www.marketwatch.com/tvradio/playerfull.asp?siteid=yhoo&dist=yhooBB&guid=%7B23FD2DE5%2D22F7%2D4ADF%2D8851%2DF23363BC3A27%7D(oh yeah, skip about 2/3 to 3/4 (1/2 actually) of the audio, till u hear them start talking about palmsource).
Note that PalmSource's stock has moved up about 20% in the past 3 days. Yes, it's just a rumor and people will say anything to make money, but again it's possible there may be some validity to this. Palm is at CTIA this weekend, if my memory serves.
I remember hearing or reading that analysts valued Palmsource at $160 million and that is where Palmsource's stock has remained most of today.
Just FYI, it's got relevance to palm economy.
I wrote an article about 4 days ago (about why palm must stay with palmsource) and submitted it to Reggie, where is it? Did it suck that bad?
If your tempted to rush out and buy PSRC stock I certainly wouldn't recommend it, this is just a rumor and it seems to be fairly valued.

Surur, if you think about it, there is NO WAY Palm could survive long term unless they take over PalmSource. I've already outlined in detail why Palm is DEFINITELY going to buy PalmSource back:
I'm actually amazed that I'm the only one that could see this coming. It seemed pretty obvious, but I guess people here are so naive that they'll believe any B.S. Palm/PalmSource feeds them. I can't wait to hear how they spin the Reunification of Palm. Yes, the RoP is long overdue, but I wonder if the PalmOS platform is too far gone for even this to matter.
Isn't it interesting how our old pal, PalmSource's Marty Fouts has gone into hiding? I hope he's OK.

Poor Skippy. Did somebody not pay enough attention to you today?
You're repeating yourself, Skippy. If you write anything interesting enough to respond to, I'll respond.
But, unlike yourself, I have a real life, so don't be surprised if I'm gone from pic for days, maybe even weeks, at a time.

RE: And what speed are most Palms running?
So we have the LifeDrive running the same as the T5 and the rumored T7 running 104mhz SLOWER than the previous year's "flagship". Not a good sign.
Actually, I want to see improved SD bus access times and, especially, faster write performance! I have a Lexar 32x and a Sandisk Ultra II card...I want to be able to utilize that speed!
RE: And what speed are most Palms running?
One thing that could drive the MHx numbers race: voice transcription which likely will be the next "killer app" [along with mobile Videophone capability now that bandwidth is finally increasing and Wi-Max is coming].

I would like to see that as much as Voice recognition, which is still dicey on desktops.

On a semi-related note:
Anyone hear the new rumor that Samsung is gonna take a hatchet to their RAM prices so that Apple can use flash in the next line of color iPod Minis? Yup, Sammy's supposedly gonna enable Apple to see a 4gb Mini/Shuffle for the same price as the current 4gb hardrive model. You know, a (stable) 2gb flash-based LifeDrive @ $600 or so is still far more appealing than an (unstable) 4gb HD-based LD. I think Brighthand and Engadget had articles on it today.
RE: And what speed are most Palms running?
If you've got the $$$, pick up a CLIE VZ90 + get a CompactFlash Microdrive. Monstrous storage, flexibility, battery life and luscious OLED screen. Built like a fine Swiss watch, the VZ90 is the Lexus of PDAs.

RE: And what speed are most Palms running?
LifeDrive vs. VZ90 head to head...to the death! That'd make a better shootout comparison than the BMW vs. Benz or Lexus vs. Infiniti car mag tests.
RE: And what speed are most Palms running?
OK, OK. I get the hint. Review to come soon. I'm going to rewrite it to give a step by step outline on how to do the English localization and a few other hacks to optimize the VZ90.
I haven't yet found any apps that work on my UX50 to not work on the VZ90, but to be honest I haven't done much testing since playing with the VZ90 the first few weeks I got it. It blows the LifeDrive away so badly it's almost funny. Comparing the LifeDrive to the VZ90 is like comparing a Ford Taurus to a Lexus LS430. You get what you pay for.
If you look around you might get a deal on a VZ90. I bought a used backup VZ90 for only $500 (with a 1 GB Memory Stick included!). These things will probably end up as collectors items - new ones are selling for around $800 - 1100. Insane prices, but that's the price of admission.

RE: And what speed are most Palms running?
Right now the only dealbreakers for me would be the lack of Bluetooth and the relative size of the unit. Cost is a relative factor and, as you said, ya get what ya pay for!
Why do I have the feeling that the VZ90 would have been THE bridge between the "traditional" Clies and an amazing wave of future devices? Had Cobalt not been DOA and had the PalmCONomy not tanked, that vision might have actually come to pass. That's not even factoring the arrival of the PSP into the big picture.
Any idea on roughly how many VZ90s Sony actually ended up selling in Japan?
RE: And what speed are most Palms running?
There's an add-on Bluetooth dongle from Hagiwara. (I haven't installed the driver yet.)

I agree with you 100%. 2005 would have seen some KILLER hardware from Sony. (The legendary OLED-screened UX100 for starters!) I expected a nice product mix between PalmTops (micro laptops), multimedia players (the VZ90 was the first in this lineage), basic PDAs and eventualy a Treble Wireless Tablet PalmPC (cellphone radio, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth)
Any idea on roughly how many VZ90s Sony actually ended up selling in Japan?
I don't know, but Dynamism apparently sold less than 20 VZ90 in the US! I ended up importing one from a different source.
