Well, I gotta say this iPhone thingy is good, it sort of sucks you in with that big bright screen, gives you a warm welcoming smile and then turns around and laughs in the face of those windows mobile smartphones with their 240x320 screens. Sorry guys, don't mean to be rude but it's kinda nice to be able to see more than just the website logo when the site first appears....on my treo 750v it's scroll city when browsing which seems terribly uncivilised in comparison.
But of course it's not all fun and games with the iPhone and those hardcore pda users are going to miss their daily dose of todo lists, RSS, alarms, databases etc etc. I certainly did, which is why I dusted down the ol' TX and pressed it back into emergency action. What a great pda this is...huge screen, wifi, loads of memory, bluetooth and lots more in a lovely slim form factor. I''d forgotten how good some apps look on a big screen and the difference it makes to working with stuff like DocstoGo is amazing. People may say it is dated and wish that Palm would bring out a new pda but when it's as good as this who cares? Okay lots of you...The TX can handle just about most of what you can throw at it and then comes back for more with room to spare.
So whilst I do all the fun things like browsing, watching films, email, music and podcasts on the iPhone, the TX handles, without complaint, all the heavy duty number crunching with great aplomb. I think at the moment it's a winning combination and it is helping me to get accustomed to using the iPhone as my numero uno device.
