Cell Phone/Palm Convergence
from the hype-or-reality? dept
A very interesting article that takes a look at the predicted convergence between cell phones and palm devices. The real question is does it all make sense? From my perspective, I think that it's too soon, and the combination devices are simply too big and bulky (though I know people who swear by their PdQs). I will accept the convergence when it's either embedded in my head, or possibly hooked up to an eyeglass display system with all the hardware fitting comfortably in a pocket. But, maybe I'm a little too geeky.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
