We were in BJ’s today and I stopped by the Verizon store to look at the new Palm Treo 700W. It combines the functions of a PDA and a cell phone. It's rather like a Blackberry. I compared it to my Palm Tungsten E. The screen on the Treo was about 20% smaller. I don’t think I want an even smaller screen. I’ve done a little digging and it looks like I can port all my Palm Apps to Windows Mobile. My one biggy was my timekeeping program. But I emailed them and they said they would shortly have a beta version of their program that runs on Windows Mobile platform.
On other thing did not impress me. The demo program running on the Treo locked up while the salesperson was showing it to me. I happen to see a segment on CNN a couple of weeks ago and they were talking about how much they like their Blackberries. They were concerned about what was going to happen with their Blackberries if RIM lost patent infringement law suite wending it way through the courts. One fellow said he had tied the Treo several times, but it kept locking up on him.
