RE: handspring is gonna be dead
RE: handspring is gonna be dead
Handspring announces it is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. A lack of new products, poor quality control, and bad investment of its resources in Treo, have caused Handspring to seek protection from its creditors. Rumor has it that Palm is not too far behind. In related news, Sony announced their newest model of the month, the paper-thin T600015...

POCKET PC OS IS THE FUTURE.

Sounds like a "pro-Handspring" news report.
Um, Palms stock was up 8% to Handsprings 1% after the announcement.
RE: handspring is gonna be dead
As for the Pocket PC idiot who claims the death of Handspring, ask yourself this question:
"Where's the Pocket PC Phone? Ever heard of one? Wonder Why?"
Answer:
Due to the constant lockups and blue screens, it just can't make it out of the labs. Please have a seat now Mr. PPC. In the meantime, we'll be using our TREO's and VisorPhones for something besides playing solitare and rebooting ;)

This is exactly the interaction that looking for.
RE: handspring is gonna be dead
Handspring's stock has gained close to $2 since Dubinsky made her comment in early December. That's moving up about 25%.

HandSpring Understands
is the FUTURE. Before much longer, all handheld
computers
will be wireless. ALL. They are on the forefront of making this
happen and are going to leave the competition eating its dust.

His Treo is a neat little device. But the price is too high and GSM coverage is still pretty bad in the US (Releasing it overseas first is a smart move). I also don't think there will be mass acceptance of a phone which lacks a phone keypad.

all?
I think not.

Handspring have announced the death of their PDA, which spells the death of the springboard.
Understand, I don't think so, just gutsy, and it will be interesting to see if they survive until xmas.

"HandSpring is the only company that understands that wireless
is the FUTURE. Before much longer, all handheld computers"
hmm ..... actually the guy who invented the radio really understood that wireless is the FUTURE ..... O well that's a long time ago, but that's the earliest form of wireless.
Recently years many company started to make wireless phones (e.g. Nokia, Samsung, Sony, Ericsson, Motorola) hmm ....... O well .. I guess handspring is the only company that understands that wireless is the FUTURE.
RE: HandSpring Understands
hehe ....... if I read this 8 hours ago, I might find it not funny, but now it's actually really funny.
death of springboard anyone !?
Oh well, it's just a mattr of time before handspring officially admits that.

Dropped Win CE, took up Palm OS
The difference between the two units is just like between the Macintosh and the Wintel (PC) machines. While I loved the Mac (which by all FAIR accounts is still a more powerful raw computer than the PC) there was simply not enough software to compete. Plus, writing software for a Mac used to be harder (Thank Bill Gates for making Windows programming both tricky and wierd).
The Pocket PC development is much alike the Macintosh in this analogy. While a wonderfully luxurious unit to work with, its growth is limited as its software is both expensive and less plentiful than Palm. Palm OS is much easier to program and simple developers can create rich programs (with pda toolbox and hanDBase) without extensive programming knowledge. A PDA is all about mobile function and utilization. With the Visorphones and Treos, Palm 505s and the like, utilization is the key and that will win adherents. I have an older Windows CE unit and a newer Handspring with Visorphone. While I find the Windows CE hard to put down, I find my Visorphone easy to pick up. With its rich features, Palm will probably stay on top, but with Pocket PC nipping at its heels.
