Ok, I have to ask... I keep looking at the next "latest and greatest" and are we really taking a step forward or a step back? Processor speeds seem to be dropping or staying flat, screens are still at QVGA or dropping to 240x240 square, and the feature sets really aren't expanding that greatly.
When you look at the stellar screens of the hx4700/4705 and the Axim, and you get used to that real estate, then you go to 240x240 in a converged device it's almost like stepping backwards in technology. Sure, it's a converged device and one less thing in your pocket or on your belt, but come on..
I for one would pay good $$ for a something like a cross breed of the hx4700 and the Apache.. Give me a VGA screen, one handed capabilities like the 700w, slide out keyboard, with phone capability. Then supported by a major carrier.. I'd be in heaven. Instead we seem to be getting dangled by the latest and greatest toy that's really not that much of a leap forward...
Not to poo-poo on your news, I appreciate it. But reality is a lot of these are just "ok, yet another coulda, shoulda gotten it right" device
