BSODs on the move

This mobile phone boasts of a 132Mhz processor, 16MB RAM, 32MB Flash ROM, 65k colours, Phone from Smarty Companyoptional digicam, tri-band, MMS, serial/usb ports and an integrated Multimedia and SD memory card – better specs than my neighbour’s PC. All this for what? For running PocketPC 2002. Hope they haven’t designed BSODs for the OS. Compare this eye candy with the simplicity of the PalmOS and you will start wondering whether you really need all that power and palm burning for being on the move. Laptops, palmtops and mobile phones have well-segregated roles to play.

Having used the Samsung CDMA with PAlm OS & the T Mobile GSM O2 with Pocket PC 2002, believe me it hurts to make a decision as to which is the better of the two. For once a MS OS had me feeling good. Avango & Handwriting recognition on the Pocket PC was miles ahead of the Palm OS offering. And the Excel & Word translators are free. Difficult.
