„i don't like the Palm OS at all. i say this having owned every generation of palm, handspring, pda, treo, whatever since my very first palm 5000, which i think was actually called the "US Robotics Pilot".“

„I still think the long term results are this: Sony will eventually buy PalmSource outright, drop Symbian and produce smart phones based on that OS competing with SonyEricsson in the smart phone market. This doesn't make sense for Sony to do it, but I bet you they will and target different geographic regions doing it - there are already many Sony phones you can't get in the West. God knows what PalmOne will do - the market for PDAs is drying up so fast, even with a big hit they're going to have a tough time competing.“http://www.russellbeattie.com/notebook/ 1007713.html - Cached
„There is the case that IBM is doing what it can to spread its technology to all of Microsoft's competitors - PalmSource/PalmOne, Nokia/Symbian - but I don't think it's part of a master plan. I'm sure IBM is just quite happy to provide competition to Microsoft as a matter of practice. Nokia, however, wants to hit Microsoft in the corporate market before it can establish itself.“http://www.russellbeattie.com/notebook/ 1006392.html - Cached
„News - Palm, Symbian and Windows apps to spread from Visual Basic source News - Palm, Symbian and Windows apps to spread from Visual Basic source By Guy Kewney Posted on 24/09/2003 at 12:22 A flood of new applications can be expected on mobile devices like Palm, Pocket PC and Symbian phones and PDAs, as Visual Basic programmers get easier access to these platforms, through AppForge licensing changes.“http://www.newswireless.net/articles/ 030924-forge.html - Cached
„The Treo runs Palm OS 5.2.1H (the "H" stands for Handspring-customized) and has a 144 MHz ARM processor with 32 megs of RAM (24 available). That competes well against current Palm OS PDAs, and beats out the Kyocera 7135 and Samsung i500 which run Palm OS 4 on considerably slower Dragonball processors. Since Palm OS is very streamlined, you often won't need lots of processing power, but it never hurts when running intensive games, playing videos and manipulating photos.“http://www.pdabuyersguide.com/treo_600.htm - Cached
„Note: Handspring now makes only the Treo Palm OS smartphone models; they've discontinued production of Visor PDAs and the Treo 90. The Visor was brought to you by some of the folks who worked at Palm Computing to create the Pilot, and left to found their own company called Handspring They proved to be very popular, and the Visor line was the first widely available Palm OS PDA to offer an expansion slot, the Springboard module. Handspring has moved on from the original Visor PDA line to the Treo Communicator line which have integrated keyboards and SD expansion slots rather than the Springboard module.“http://www.pdabuyersguide.com/handspring.htm - Cached
„This new Trēo still looks like a PDA first, but it is thin and short enough that it isn't completely awkward to hold up to your head. By leaning the top of the Trēo against your ear and holding the bottom at a 45˚ angle away from your face, it is possible to talk on the Trēo without the dreaded cheek-on-the-screen syndrome. Phone calls on the 600 were clear and easy to hear in this manner.“http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/ handspring-treo-600-review.html - Cached
„I think the Treo is important because it is not a "device" in the sense usually used by consumer electronics. It is more a "platform" in the sense that a personal computer is a platform. Handspring understands that at the highest levels, and I think that is what will make them and their products different than normal phone manufacturers and their products.“http://danbricklin.com/log/treo180part3.htm - Cached
„I've finally finished my review of the Handspring Treo. I've added observations about the phone and using it for email and web browsing in Part 2. In Part 3, I've listed and commented upon a few other reviews that have appeared on the web, and talk about why the Treo is a platform and other overall impressions.“http://danbricklin.com/log/2002_02_11.htm - Cached
