UH OH, look at this...

I'd guess this is just how Mac owners feel. They keep seeing what they feel are inferior products beat the pants off them in the market. That's the way the market is.

Pricing has a lot to do with and so does marketing. When people ask me for advice on a PDA, I'm honest about it. If all they want/need is an electronic rolodex, then by all means by a <$100 Palm, that's what they are for. When the PocketPC can compete at that price, I'll recommend it instead.

If Microsoft really went after the market we'd see a big change, but for some reason they are content to let go without big ad-blitz campaigns and price-slashing, things they've done in the past for other products.

Pocket PC Phone Edition has been around for a while but I've never seen a real product yet. When and if the integrated products start shipping, then I think we'll start seeing a growing market share again.

Palm have their advantages.
PPC have their advantages also.

Which one is better? Well it depend's in what you use it for.

Why is the Audiovox broke ? I haven't read any REAL reviews of it yet - cept for the CNET hardware review

Audiovox has made a product that should be released by the end of May, early June - the Thera - that uses the pocketpc 2002 Phone edition (I think). It has a built in CDMA phone/GPRS capability and verizon is going to start selling them.


It may just use PPC2002 and a watcher program, but it has the signal indicator in the upper right hand corner like PPC2002 Phone. I was gone for a long time so forgive me - but why is the Audiovox garbage ?

The XScale devices better have some kind of battery on the, because I'm sick of making it to fifth period class with a dead PocketPC.

Bring your charger to school, that's what I used to do. But I never used it, cos I got a Jornada 525 with a kick-ass battery.
