Good Technology

I interviewed with Good Technology about year ago for a Palm programming position. I told the HR person about a previous program I had written for Palm OS that was for composing music. She then asked if it could play DVDs. How am I supposed to answer that?

Ha ha! That's pretty funny! I interviewed with a company for a Palm OS position and they asked me if I used MetroWerks C Compiler to create PocketPC apps...

I think it's a well known fact that HR people, and those in IT particularly, are complete and utter dolts who take prime position at the shallow end of the gene pool...

CAMERA PROBLEM FOR GOVT ORGANIZATIONS

A lot of good the FIPS Cert will do; with the integrated camera in the Treo 600, you can't bring it into a lot of govt (mostly DOD) organizations. Wish the phone makers would realize that they should be offering these smartphones without cameras to greatly expand their market into the Govt realm.

I doubt that they are missing that. The Gov probably isn't that big of a market(!) as compared to "regular" industry. The certification is probably for those companies that see it and say "if it's good enough for the gov, it's good enough for us."

But I do agree - I wish this camera fad would pass - it just raises the costs.
