Comments on: palmOne Online Store Special Offers

Thank goodness.

Oh well, there seems to be no pleasing Palm's low-end users... Maybe they'll start designing for the "Power Users" again... :)

1) Screen and form-factor of the T5
2) WiFi AND Bluetooth
3) Battery life that doesn't suck (OLED can help here)
4) Memory speed that doesn't suck
5) Metal case
6) Cradle
7) Vibrating alert
8) This new high-tech thing called an LED which lets you know it's plugged-in and charging (and can flash to alert you.. wow)
9) Graffiti 1 as an option (even if G2 is default), since the lawsuit is a moot point now (and you can get G1 on PPC, hello)

Funny, I'm only one of a bazillion people asking for this. But no one delivers. It's always some half-baked unsuitable compromise. This isn't unreasonable. The technology exists to pull this off. And price isn't such a big deal. I would pay to get this. The problem is, this perfect PDA isn't available at ANY price (unless I want to go PPC, but no thanks).

And who knows... maybe some day we'll get a decent web browser too...

Too bad Palm isn't listening.

You now have new marching orders from the dumb masses.

* Don't post any price reduction announcements from palmOne.

* Don't prominently link to product reviews for Palm OS handhelds that are currently sold from palmOne's web store and other retail outlets.

* Don't post any news for palmOne handhelds that Gekko doesn't like.

Isn't it great to have all this expert help with this website?

The item about price reductions will be appreciated by many PIC readers who may have been unaware of the new offers.

Remember, Ryan - you can't win. Post less articles and people biotch that there's no news. Post regularly and they still biotch. People should S T F U and be grateful that you work so hard to keep us updated with items regularly - even if not every bit of news is of interest to every single reader. Sheeesh.

Press release: CUPERTINO, California — February 11, 2005 — Apple® announced today that Steve Jobs will begin selling his own feces to Apple Cultists beginning March 1. Apple's new iPoo™ lineup is expected to easily surpass the iPod shuffle as the company's most popular product. Yes, Apple Cultists can already easily create their own iPoo™, but feces didn't seem cool until Jobs told them it was cool. Remember, kids: the ONLY cool feces is Jobs' highly individualistic, rebellious iPoo™ (coming soon in six different colors/flavors, including the red [hematochezia] and black [melena] U2 GI bleed model)

Your attitude is not welcomed. Constructive criticism is.

The Voice of Doubt (When did this become The Faces of Eve?), Palminfocenter promotes any PalmOS product who's company still has a pulse and has the brains to send Ryan a press release in a timely manner. Do a search of PIC's archives and you can confirm this for yourself:

Last time I checked, Tapwave hadn't released a new PDA in a Real LOOOOONG Time and hinted that they wouldn't be putting out a new Zodiac until at least 2006. Yeah, right. You can stick a fork in Tapwave - they're done. And has anything significant happened to Tapwave since these stories?

http://www.palminfocenter.com/view_story.asp?ID=7645

At least anything that Tapwave has formally announced?

And what do you propose PIC (an English language site) do about the Japan-only, Japanese OS only (and now discontinued-in-Japan!)CLIEs? There are probably less than 100 VZ90 in the United States. There are also probably no more than a dozen or so TH55DK scattered around the US. Not exactly big sellers, are they? And as soon as Ryan posts a CLIE article, some moron will biotch saying there's no need to post items on discontinued models.

Unfortunately, the only PalmOS company now left is pa1mOne. Who else is there to write about now? Don't shoot the messenger, Bubba. It's not Ryan's fault.

Your attitude is not welcomed. Intelligent writing is.

And is Mike Cane dead? We're all preying for you, Mike.
