- blhack 9y agoLike Palm's existing smartphone with existing smartphone apps, or blackberry.
- IncRnd 9y agoThank you. Yes - that is my exact point!
- neuromantik8086 9y agoOr General Magic's work in the early 90s.
- r00fus 9y agoI migrated from a Palm Treo 650 to an OG iPhone. Superficially they're similar in functionality (I didn't really need a stylus for most Palm apps) but there was so much you could do with an iPhone that the Palm just couldn't touch. Execution details like Apple contracting with Cingular/ATT to provide unlimited 2G for $20/mo was a huge substantive usability difference. I had to pay $40-$45/mo for similar ubiquitous signal on my Palm - needless to say I didn't - so Palm apps weren't built on that assumption.
- pier25 9y agoNo, like touch screens, ARM, Wifi, etc.
- IncRnd 9y ago:) That was my point. All of those were on the LG Prada.
