RE: How Much?
I'm not trying to turn the site into Palm Rumorcenter but until the new OS 5 devices are officially announced, you can expect to see a lot of rumors on them.

RE: How Much?
Great job.
I think lots of people care about the price and
battery life of the new OS5 machines.
If you can find some info, that will be great.
A guess price range like $299-399 is good enough.
Again, thanks for your work.

RE: How Much?
... my guess would be somewhere around $450, but won't be surprised to see $499. under my current situation, I probably have to stick with my T615 for quite a while...
RE: How Much?
I know the price won't be this low.It should be
above $400. But I guess the exact price is
hard to find. So a range will satisfy lots of people's
interest.

RE: Good stuff
Damned if you do....
It remains to be seen, but I hope this won't kill battery life too, too much. I use a Clie NR series and while its battery life is not quite what say an m515 is, it's good enough for me. If they can duplicate that at 175mhz, great. Anything less however and we're getting down into Pocket PC levels, egad!

Actually the T series and the NR series IS BELOW the 3950 in battery life at comparible brightness settings and maybe slightly WORSE than the 3850 and well below the HP568. Actually the only Palm device to have great battery life is the N760c and every color Sony since had PPC battery life. The Prism and the IIIc had pretty lame battery life as well.
------------------------------------
OS 5 NOT OS4 MACHINES WILL BE BETTER THAN PPC MACHINES RUNNING THE SAME HARDWARE!
OR ARE YOU BLIND?
But, when? WHEEEEN????????
Any clues, Ed?

RE: But, when? WHEEEEN????????
You would be amazed at MP3, Video, and Photo (NR-70V)
RE: But, when? WHEEEEN????????
No thanks. I'll wait for OS5/ARM based hardware to hit the market. The OSLO looks very innovative, with the exception of Palm's stubborn resistance to software-Graffiti area. :-(
Can't wait!!!
RE: But, when? WHEEEEN????????
"Can't wait!!!"
Make up your mind allready!! lol

Multimedia?
Who knows...maybe we will one day see RealPlayer for PalmOS...or WinAMP..or MusicMatch...QuickTime...or, dare I say it, Windows Media Player! :-)
RE: Multimedia?
I would say that hoping for a Palm branded multimedia handheld is wishfull thinking, but I won't considering that they long denied that OS5 would offer anything at all in the way of multimedia. I'd sooner bet that they are trying to keep it under wraps - but will not be surprised or dismayed either way...
RE: Multimedia?
Eric Benhamou was interviewed by CNET a couple months ago. During the discussion he said that multimedia and digital audio were coming to Palm's handhelds. He also said that PalmOS devices would offer features and hardware on par with PocketPC.
Take that for what it's worth.
RE: Multimedia?
RE: Multimedia?
Does your computer suck because your CPU does have a built-in 3D graphics engine? It's more efficient to have separate purpose-built modules. The Amiga had a "slow CPU" but it had separate chips to run the other stuff and was the greatest multi-media personal computer of its time.
I'd like to play MP3s and video not get a hit on the CPU.

Why not? Just curious to know your reasons.
The real questions is when will Sony come out with something

It feels a little strange that Sony hasn't anounced
a new Clie for a while. :-)
I'm so confused
Where does Oslo fit into the equation? Is it the Smartphone Palm talks about or a separate line of machines altogether? Palm has placed a huge order with ASUStek for Palms running XScale processors due out Q1 2003 so what is Oslo's niche?
Its very confusing....

Palm said in June that they will put out a smartphone this fall. Look for it to have the 710 in it.
Performance?
RE: Performance?
Palm was demonstrating their ARM environment using a 66 and 75Mhz CPUs. information on what PalmOS 5.0 is and how it works internally was made available then. when a real unit is made available is when the full details of what is inside it can be stated. rumors are rumors - but, you can make very good educated guesses if you know what your looking for. time will tell i guess :)

Is this really a rumor? That Texas Instruments story dated Dec 17, 2001. Not to mention hundreds of people saw PalmOS 5.0 running on a number of different ARM CPU's at PalmSource.
Texas Instruments show two processors OMAP1510 and OMAP710 on their website. That OMAP710 CPU looks interesting from a standpoint of a pda phone combo point of view.
RE: Interesting Links
That they are using the 1510 and not the 710 says alot about the Oslo. Mostly that it isn't a smartphone, which some people are still (mistakenly) arguing that it is.

You lost me here. That os5 runs on ARM processors has been known and talked about on this site for a couple years.
RE: Interesting Links
Palm said in December it would be using some un-named TI chip. I think which one is important. Now we know. That is if this rumor is right.
OS5 Certified yet?
Which brings up another point. Who's using what CPU? Since it's certified first, will the first OS5 device use the ARM Dragonball? Sony?
Attached an ARM to your Palm and Handspring it into action.
RE: OS5 Certified yet?
Less Overhead!!
RE: Less Overhead!!
I wish soebody would develop an interesting comparison between the two.
RE: Less Overhead!!
Dont worry, OS5 will work extremly well on these new processors, especially by the sounds of this T.I. processor that Palm chose. But no doubt OS6 will fly, but we need to support the manufacturers and buy their new products so they can make more, and better ones, so I guess what I'm saying is, I won't be holding off.
RE: Less Overhead!!
So I just wish Palm and Sony would HURRY UP, I feel sorely tempted by the built-in bluetooth and the multitasking! I timed by good ole M505 for switching between ThinkDb and ISilo and it takes 6 to 7 seconds! Reminds me of the days of the Floppy based IBM Clones...
Come on PALM, GO GO GO, and keep leaking some aspects about your new machines and likewise for Sony who I am sure will release AFTER Palm having worked what Palm are going to do and come up with something better...

I think you mean thats what IBM is encouraging them to do.

How Much?
Does your trusted source have any idea how much it will cost? How much RAM it has? Screen resolution?
