Smartphone Vs. Palm OS? - Verizon
I know that this may be a bit off-topic and is not really specific to Verizon but Im a current Verizon subsciber and would like to get a VZW specific spin.
Please hold on a second while I spray this post with flame-retardant, PSSSSSSSTT..
Ive pretty much determined that my next phone will be a clam-shell style combination PDA and Cell phone. Ive further determined that it will not be a PDA-style implementation (meaning that the dialing pad will be hard buttons, not something projected on the screen).
It looks like there will be two main OSs to choose from, Palm and Smartphone. I have used both Palm and PocketPC PDAs extensivley (Currently using Ipaq with PocketPC 2002). I realize that Smartphone and PocketPC are different animals. Im looking for anyone that might have informed opinions on the strengthsweaknesses of the two OSs.
I want to be able to sync my contacts, calender, to-do list with my PC (Outlook) which I should be able to accomplish with either OS. I also find myself using my current PocketPC to read e-books, read emails and perform limited web-browsing (IMO the screen is still too small for any extensive internet use). I occasionally use it for listening to MP3s. Watching movies on the PocketPC is an occasional diversion but not a requirement.
From what I can see:
- Palm is an established, stable OS. But I find the capabilities a bit limited compared to the PocketPC devices. Im also not a fan of devoting 25 of my screen to data input.
- Smartphone is brand new and from a company known for releasing buggy software.
- Verizon seems to be leaning toward Smartphone for its upcoming releases.
Has anyone played with a Smartphone-based device? opinions? Usefullness?
Opinions, and any pointers to detailed Smartphone reviews would be GREATLY appreciated
A smartphone is a Mobile Phone that offers more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a contemporary basic feature phone. Smartphones and feature phones may be thought of as handheld computers integrated within a mobile telephone, but while most feature phones are able to run applications based on platforms such as Java ME,a smartphone allows the user to install and run more advanced applications based on a specific platform. Smartphones run complete operating System Software providing a platform for application developers. A smartphone can be considered as a Personal Pocket Computer (PPC) with mobile phone functions, because these devices are mainly computers, although much smaller than a desktop computer (DC). Additionally a PPC (Personal Pocket Computer) is more personal than a DC (desktop computer).
Growth in demand for advanced mobile devices boasting powerful processors, abundant memory, larger screens, and open operating systems has outpaced the rest of the mobile phone market for several years. According to a study by ComScore, over 45.5 million people in the United States owned smartphones in 2010 and it is the fastest growing segment of the mobile phone market, which comprised 234 million subscribers in the United States.Despite the large increase in smartphone sales in the last few years, smartphone shipments only make up 20% of total handset shipments, as of the first half of 2010
Palm handhelds are Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) which run the Palm OS. Palm devices have evolved from handhelds to smartphones which run Palm OS, WebOS, and Windows Mobile. This page describes the range of Palm devices, from the First Generation of Palm machines known as the Pilot through to the latest models currently produced by Palm, Inc including their new Palm Pre line of consumer smartphones.
The Palm TX offers the ability to browse the Internet wirelessly
An early model—the PalmPilot Personal
A Palm IIIxe unit with Accessories.
The Palm IIIc was the first Palm with a Color Screen
The Palm m130 was a later model which included a color screen
The monochrome Palm m100
The PalmOne Tungsten T5 is a famous successor to the T3
The Palm Treo 700p is one of many smartphones produced that combines Palm PDA functions with a cell phone, allowing for built-in voice and data.
On 28 April 2010 it was announced that Hewlett-Packard would acquire Palm for around US$1.2bn
