Humm, more criticism of Foo Fighter = more dead cats = cheaper dim sum - there might be something there for those who like dim sum.

It's one BILLION units!

HUGE misprint. SHould read million units. If Dell had 30% with one billion, that would mean the market would sell 3.3 billion units. LOL!

Eh, my thoughts are simply anyone who believes the Palm propaganda and invests and/or cheerleads for em gets what they deserve. Enjoy the upcoming next few months Palm. :roll: There's gotta be a lot of nervous people right about now. :?

No prob. We attribute the source as the person who submitted the link. The link has the actual author of the article and the post has the person making the comments. But feel free to stop by and criticize Foo anytime. :wink:

Ah. Now it makes sense. I'm listed as the "source" because I submitted the link to this story to the news team. That's all.

Note that the PalmOS devices have a nice suite of software that allows you to view and edit Excel and Word documents, sometimes an email application and maybe a messenger client. All of that, of course, goes in that small 16MB of RAM whereas the Pocket PCs have all of that and more in ROM.

Just because of that I still has to carry around a CLie. Documents to go for Palm makes Pocket office look buggy and underpowered. Documents to go offers perfect syncronization and most of the features of Desktop office. If Dataviz made a version for PPC I would trow my clie in the garbage and just use PPC.

Dude...... PocketPC Thought is famous. It even make it to PalmInfo Center editorial.

--------------------
Editorial: New Pocket PC's, Same Old Story...

So while Pocket PC enthusiasts continue to bash Palm devices because of their “limited” RAM, let’s look at what really matters most… Besides games and office apps, it’s uncommon to find apps for the Palm OS larger than 150K, on the PPC side, it's hard to find any sort of app, smaller than 500K. …Dude, if you're getting a Dell you better get a big memory card and travel charger!

the word 'bash' is linked to this PPCT thread.

You have to remember the audience his is talking to.

I admit I didn't bother reading the original article but one point struck me. With Dell selling so cheaply and if other OEMs follow suit the price margin on a PPC will be razor thin. Palm can court other manufactures and resellers with a higher profit margin. That would be the direction they will be heading now.

I dont believe this strategy will help them survive in the long term but will help in the short term.
