I could say the same thing about the iphone as compared to my treo 700wx. no hardware keyboard, no 3g data, only available on at&t, locked, rumours of a buried sim card, lack of 3rd party software.... how is the iphone supposed to compete... it cant...
see that was easy :twisted: |
I totally agree, sometimes looking at the pure specs isn't enough to judge a device. The Palm Treo 7xx series is very popular/successful and it is by no means the most powerful Pocket PC you can get - with 32mb RAM and 300MHz processor in earlier units. We also have to keep in mind that different devices are aimed at different types of buyers. Pocket PCs - as with anything else practically, have lower-end models for more budget-oriented users and higher-end models for those of us wanting more power, a simple concept not very hard to master :wink: . Not every new Pocket PC released will contain cutting-edge power. This is called price discrimination where a firm attempts to capture more of the market by catering to different needs/price ranges. A prime example is why Microsoft markets like 3-4 different versions of Windows XP.
And, the video was fantastic, I thoroughly enjoyed the unboxing. I think video reviews and written reviews each have their pros. The pro of doing a video review is that you can see everything hands-on while the pro of doing a written review is that the numbers/graphs and data are right in front of you and it's easier to scan through quickly. 8)
