I've been a long time, pocketpc/wince user. However, since the release of the new palm wireless device, i'm a bit jealous. Has microsoft and ppc hardware vendors dropped the ball here?
I was at CompUSA the other day and got a chance to hold the new palm 501 wireless device in my hand. And I was amazed by how light it was. The form factor was just incredible! Ok some might argue that PPC has wireless options also. What wireless options??? Omnisky, $59 a month that I';m paying right now for ****ty service???. GPRS, not where I live. And who wants to connect via their mobile phone to make a gprs connection to their ppc and have to pay hefty charges??
Ok, the palm lacks some of the gee-wiz features that PPC has, such as MP3 playback, video etc and better displays.
But when will the PPC software and hardware vendors get their act together?? I do a lot of day trading. My online brokerage firm has wireless applications for me to do trading.
What do I do? I'm seriously thinking of jumping ship here...and go buy myself a wireless palm. Thinking about just selling off my Ipaq 3870 now...
I just needed to vent a little...
