Gadgeteer reviews new Palm devices
Julie at The Gadgeteer has posted reviews of the two new Palm handhelds released last month:
Both reviews are worth a read if you’re looking for a new PDA and aren’t interested in a smartphone. Quick summary: The Z22 is a nice entry-level handheld for $99 and its iPod-like design sensibility doesn’t hurt. The TX, while adding WiFi support to the feature list of the previous top-of-the-line T5, has less memory and a slower processor, so it’s perhaps not the ideal upgrade.
Between the strange LifeDrive and this lackluster entry in the high-end PDA market, I think Palm has truly lost touch with the market for non-smartphone PDAs. I’m not sure if that market will still exist in a few years, but if it does, I’m afraid Palm will still be way behind the times.
