Palm Needs OS 5 Update, Bad
I've been a long time Palm user, but the new PocketPC devices are starting to look really appealing. Mostly because PocketPC devices have better support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPRS. Trying to get GPRS to work on my Palm is a pain. I helped a friend set up his PocketPC device with Bluetooh to access GPRS and it works great. Hopefully Palm OS5 will help Palm catch up, otherwise they will lose users who are lured by wireless internet access. Palm is a better PIM, but PocketPC is a lot more capable when it comes to wireless.
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.
