Palm Vc Available in March 2001
The WebStandard has an interview (in German) with Markus Bregler, Chief of Palm Central Europe. Bregler confirmed that there will be a "Palm Vc" (however the name was not confirmed) presented at the Cebit (March 22-28, 2001). The device will also be available at this time. It will have color, SD-Card slot, and the new OS. Again it has not been confirmed that it will be called "Palm OS 4" but it will be a "major update" and include multimedia features.
Bregler also said that Palm did want to publish the OS 3.5 Update for free but the SEC wouldn't allow it because of the IPO.
Finally, some news on Linux support by Palm should be expected at the PalmSource in Santa Clara. For more details you should perhaps try your luck with Babelfish, the online translator.

RE: Vc Battery Life?
RE: Vc Battery Life?
That's right, I'm getting ready to ask for my *fourth* IIIc: #1 buttons quit after three weeks, #2 refused to HotSync, #3 has the digitizer problem. Perhaps a harder chassis would help reduce these hardware issues. Otherwise, a much-fatter Prism is starting to look pretty good.
RE: Vc Battery Life?
We're all going to by whining terribly if the battery life is measured in hours.

RE: Vc Battery Life?
This is part of the reason there wasn't a color Palm back when everyone was asking for it and most Pocket PCs were in color.
I'm very interested in the Vc (if that's going to be its name) I'll finally have the color screen I love and the small, slim form factor I've lusted after.

Vc vs. Color Clie
But what hasn't been stated on this board yet is the competition between the tentatively-named Vc and the color version of the Sony Clie. I'll tell you right now that if I were given a choice I'd go for the sony, with a jog dial and a expansion slot that has a lot of backing (although all the backing comes from Sony itself). Even sony's reputation is good from consumers.
It shall be interesting to see the release date of the Clie sister device, whether it be before or after the release of the "Vc".

Vc processor speed? Number of colours?
But will it have a faster processor? And will it support a miserable 256 colours or be more like the Prism? Palm have kept us waiting long enough for faster machines. And until they produce them, they deserve all the inroads that the MS lackeys can make into their market share.
