However, the Operating Systems are different. And now, we're also seeing that the user interface experiences are also different in these two devices. (Palm's should be the better one!) I'm not sure if Palm is more durable though. The general advice is not to drop any of your electronic gadgets!<BR/><BR/>Salt, yes, nothing comes close to the Palm UI experience! This only shows how difficult it is to design for a handheld platform as compared to a desktop platform that has been shrunk...jeffyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16711567697887623146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419019.post-45580200151126518482009-01-18T11:14:00.000+08:002009-01-18T11:14:00.000+08:00hello mr yen, teresa here :) ha, the stalker sets ...hello mr yen, teresa here :) ha, the stalker sets in, and isn't palm in a way sort of like iPhone? but I would guess palm is much more durable.tere .shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201130116753628251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419019.post-22220740128601651832009-01-10T11:11:00.000+08:002009-01-10T11:11:00.000+08:00Hi Jeff,I echo your interests, both of us has been...Hi Jeff,<BR/><BR/>I echo your interests, both of us has been palm fans for the longest time and even though we all had complains of the backward PalmOS and I have tried winmo and even other "smartphones", nothing comes close to the usability and well-thoughtfulness of the PalmOs, perhaps except iPhone with some reservations.<BR/><BR/>Palm was the first to make PDA useful when others were contain just to provide simple data. With Handspring springboard, it was the first to make PDA multi-functional when others were trying to catch up. With Visor Edge, it was and still is the sexists PDA alive today. Then came Treo which just blew my mind away of what phones + PDA can do, till now no one came close to the usability of a treo phone. And now Palm Pre + webOS begins a new era.<BR/><BR/>Its unfortunate the PalmOS was craft so long ago that it could not catch up with the new dazzle, that Palm lost a number of its loyalist and market share. I had jumped ship only because I needed some functionality that PalmOS could not provide, like 3G.<BR/><BR/>I am very hopeful that with the webOS, palm loyalist will be at it again and it will have even more new found fans. The interface is reminiscent of PalmOS with steriods, just simple and easy and fun to use, ala iPhone with reservations... <BR/><BR/>Long Live Palm!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
