Palm users want color and then some
Posted on Tuesday, December 26 @ 05:05:29 PST by godschoice
The U.S. Palm community is alive with anticipation about upcoming color devices. Why? What is the big deal? Aren't there color palm devices on the market today? Palm has the Palm IIIc and Handspring has the Visor Prism, but the palm community want color and a small package. Every since the Palm V came out, it has been speculated that the natural evolutional process would be to release a color Palm V device. C/net ran a story last month that mentioned many sources of rumors about a color Palm V device by mid 2001. Bloomberg just ran a story last night about Sony's plan to upgrade its Clie Palm device by mid 2001. It is safe to say that both companies are listening to the users of boards like PalmLoyal that let its viewer share their thoughts. Personally, I don't think either company should release a new color device without supplying some additional RAM. Any new device should have at least 32MB RAM. This measure will become increasingly important to keep Palm users loyal to the Palm brand. PocketPC have a lot of RAM and lack great programs to fill them. Palm OS devices have the great programs and not enough RAM to store them all. The keep its market share, Palm OEMs will have to provide more memory. The diehard users have juggled their programs to manage life in the 2-8 MB PDAs. As common persons adapt to the Palm world, with the introduction of the M100 and lower prices, storage will become the straw that may break the camels' back. That is if the Palm OEMs continue to ignore this truth.
