„Russell Beattie Notebook Russell Beattie points to an article about the integration of PDA features into cell phones and believes that in the business world more companies will choose to develop applications that hook into phones rather than PDAs. Lots of interesting points comparing cell phones to PDAs....“

„Or more likely, they're going to realize their mobile phone is doing everything their Zire did and more and realize they don't need a PDA. Now THAT makes sense. So the answer to the "Which palmtop should I buy?" question is really "A Nokia."“http://www.russellbeattie.com/notebook/ 1001836.html - Cached
„With 50 million Java handsets now in circulation worldwide, 2002 Java handset shipments exceeded PDA shipments of the past several years. By end 2003, the size of the market that one can address with Java will still be larger than that of all PDAs and smartphones (such as Nokia Communicator and the Ericsson or Samsung equivalents) together -- even if PDAs and smartphones grow by 100% in units this year (probably an unrealistically high assumption). Java has definitely surpassed the PDA operating systems as he platform to target for the largest mobile audience." I think this report - even if it is extolling the virtues of Java - is a bit naive since not all Java tech is the same.“http://www.russellbeattie.com/notebook/ 1002102.html - Cached
„I'd love to have a phone/camera/PDA/MP3 player. It would lighten my travel load considerably. Aside from current phone functionality, I would want at least 2MP (prefer 3), at least 3X zoom (prefer 5), at least 256MB for MP3 (prefer 4GB or higher), and reasonable PDA function (the current 6000 stuff is good or palm oriented) AND a better desktop PDA scenario (think Palm).“http://www.russellbeattie.com/notebook/ 1006432.html - Cached
„The idea is to provide that data for others to use and to start aggregating other geotagged feeds so that using a handset - via J2ME or WAP2 - you can see which weblogs have been updated in real time near you or in another specific location ("location-based mobile aggregation"). Our pitch has to do with club-goers and other trendy what-if scenarios that carriers love, but in general it's just the next step in mobile weblogging. Going from "photo blogs" to *real* moblogging, by enabling producing and consuming of information organized not only by time, but also by location.“http://www.russellbeattie.com/notebook/ 1006221.html - Cached
„It looks like Apple might be getting back into the PDA game with a mobile/PDA combo: iPhone. I think it's been obvious since the iPod came out that Steve is looking at other things. The iPod was just a test to see if they could make a profit from a high-end consumer device.“http://beattie.info/notebook/1000147.html - Cached
