great write-up. Lots of decisions to make but for a Mac-head like me, all roads keep leading to Palm…

folks,

i am a palm-fan. but: the mac-palm-relation isn’t that fine it could be. syncing calendar, addressbook, iphoto and itunes via isync is a mess. one need thirdparty-software even to get the pix (attached to each addressbook-entry) over to the palm.

Its not that I am not a fan. I was just pointing out two issues regarding the Palm OS that I thought the article didn’t touch on.

I guess Erik isn’t a fan.
I had a SMT5600 and now a Cingular 2125 Windows based smartphone and they are very nice. Will be ditching the 2125 as soon as I can get my hands on a Treo 680. I prefer applications written for the Palm platform. They are small, easy to use, and do exactly what I need them to do. If a device works now it will always be useful no matter how many competitors update their competing products.
Really, no one sits around and edits Word or Excel files for hours on their phone. If they do perhaps they should consider a laptop.
Thanks for the article!

Palm OS can’t run two programs at once. You have to shut one down before running anther program. Symbian and Win mobile continue to be improved. Where is Palm OS 6? What will the Palm OS look like in a year or two when the Win OS and Symbian match the similar usability of Palm?

Nice coverage, but it seems that your look at PalmOS phones left out the GSPDA/GSL models which are being sold (albeit Hong Kong and surrounding areas only lest you import them) and how they are tackling the issues of using PalmOS products. In just that alone, one can see how PalmOS smartphones seem to cater more to regional needs/tastes, even more than the Nokia/Symbian pair.

Nonetheless, tis a great overview and as a fellow writer, I am jealous that I didn’t think of this suite of pieces first :)

This is a great guide, I really like what you guys are doing. I carry a tungsten T3 and a sony-ericsson phone, and tether the two via bluetooth for my internet connection. would you take a treo over this king of arrangement, even though it has a larger screen?
