palm's Future?
First , I need to say that I purchased a Maestro because of the media player
, the color screen , the use of both Compact Flash and SD cards, and the price. In the medical surrounds where I work however, I am finding it impossible to find ANYONE, who has anything other than Palm based units, mostly SONY of late. The residents are being given free units with PDR's already on them, and everyone else has epocrates or PDR and other medical database programs. I feel left out woth my pocket PC because I have to pay over $100 for what everyone else has gotten for free. This ubiquitous Palm presence is influencing decisions by many hospitals in choosing charting systems. many are choosing Palm, despite the greater power of the Pocket PC systems. Just as IMB had an impossible uphill battle with OS2, Microsoft finds itself playing catch up. If the new Palm OS is sufficiently powerful, as well as backward compatible, and if enough other vendors sign on, they may surprise everyone, and maintain or even expand their lead.
