The Bitch Fight (vertaal dit zelf maar)

[RoelvdV]

En alweer een 'PDA thoughts' artikel, zeg maar een soort opiniepagina/column.

Deze keer gaat het over de vergelijking tussen de beste PalmOS en Windows Mobile smartphones, vandaar de titel van deze thread.

De begeleidende foto is wel aardig. Verder maakt de conclusie van de schrijver van dit artikel mij niet uit: de Treo 650 is gewoon de beste smartphone

Groeten, Roel.

The Bitch Fight is now over.
I decided to stop it early when I realised that the KJAM had not come out of its case for 4 days. I have gone back to it a couple of times to pick up old appointments etc. and it is noticeable that it is a lot slower than the Treo in general use. All of the bells and whistles of Windows Mobile are great and the range of applications and games available are far superior (in my opinion) than on the Palm machines. The fact that the momentum is with Windows Mobile is another worry for a Palm user but for me the Treo just works and that is what I need when making and receiving calls, dealing with issues whilst away from my desk and most importantly the reliability of knowing that alarms will sound and that I can sync whenever I need to lends itself to Palm OS.

So far I have not found anything I could do on Windows Mobile that I can’t do on the Treo- some of the applications are not as good but for general use both operating systems are very similar from a 3rd party software point of view.

I never thought I would say it but I am a Palm user again and I am not sure for how long. At the moment the Treo does a good job for me and that is what’s important. Maybe Palm will release a decent piece of hardware someday and get us all excited and maybe Windows Mobile 5.0 will become more stable. Only time will tell and that’s the beauty of the PDA industry.

Zeer kort en vrij vertaald:
PalmOS applicaties zien er niet zo gelikt uit als Windows Mobile app's, maar ze doen hun werk net zo goed, simpeler en sneller. Wel hoopt hij op stabielere hardware van Palm.

Groeten, Roel.

Wel wat kort door de bocht!

Misschien brengt Palm nog eens een 'beschaafder' (= minder ondermaats) stuk hardware uit dat iedereen opwindend vindt en misschien zal Windows Mobile 5.0 stabieler worden. De toekomst zal het ons leren en dat is net zo mooi aan de PDA industrie.

Volgens mij is Shaun bang dat er een Palm-user leegloop dreigt op zijn site en switched daarom maar even terug naar Palm. De PPC gebruikers zijn minder gevoelig voor Palm dan vice versa.

Op www.palm247.com heeft de langlopende serie "Living with just a PDA" gelopen waarin een zekere Gavin verhaalde over zijn ervaringen met de XDA Exec. De serie is vandaag geeindigd met deel 17. Een paar citaten:

My XDA Exec has been loyal but with some failings which were really highlighted when I got a chance to play with a Palm TX.

The TX was so fast it was scary fast. None of the previous or current devices were able to react as quick. The music quality was brilliant through my sennheiser headphones. In fact I just had to have it. Technically it not on par with the Exec but it just is superior in use. The best way I can describe the difference. The Exec can multi task. The TX has completed the tasks without the need for multitasking.

So I have upgraded my XDA Exec for a Palm TX and a Sony Ericsson K750i.

Well a few more days with the TX has proven I was very right in my move. This paragraph has been written using graffitti 2. Its taken about 10 minutes to master. Its not as sluggish as pocket pc. In fact its a dream to use. Also with the TX I dont have to soft reset 3 times a day. In fact I dont reset at all. No PDA is perfect but the TX is nearly there. TCPMP also seems to work better on palm os. Now any useful tips would be handy as its been a long time since I have used a palm. Mind you I have installed over 63 apps.

Ps. I was thinking about providing a heat and height test on the XDA Exec. And interested parties? Eg blow torch , drop from a roof top.

ps2. No activesync issues now. Hotsyc just works.

Altijd fijn om een verloren zoon weer thuis te zien komen!
