Consumer Wireless Devices
from the this-isn't--your-daddy's-wireless-phone dept
2002 is going to be a very interesting year in terms of new and interesting wireless devices that break the traditional cell phone mold. While we're still waiting to get our hands on Danger Hiptops, Handspring Treos, and Nokia 55xxs, the Europeans and Asians are launching a slew of cool new devices. This week, Pogo Technologies introduced the Pogo PDA in the UK. Like Danger with their Hiptop, Pogo is focusing on the consumer market and aims to deliver a real web experience on a small screen over GSM/GPRS. We're watching the launch of this device closely because it should be an interesting indicator of consumer acceptance of more entertainment oriented wireless devices.
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.

Geez, PA, what about the Samsung SPH-i300?
Why wait for BOFH-fons when you've already got a color Palm integrated into a CDMA/analog celfon w/ decent data service? Yeah, I know, Samsung's already leaking the 3G model, the -i330, in Winter Olympics press releases, but, the -i300 works now and works very well in a very small package.
I don't have to schlep around a laptop anymore to have access to Word & Word Perfect documents, Excel spreadsheets & PDFs. I've always got several books to read, and the whole thing fits in a shirt pocket, with every Palm app I want, not to mention 2 megs of AvantGo news and The Register in MobiPocket.
Life is good.
