The hardware has been disappointing as well. The Axim 50x/51x from 2004 had a bigger screen and faster processor than today's "top of the line" Touch Pro2. Why couldn't Dell have just stuck a phone radio in the Axim (it already had BT and WiFi). It'd been an iPhone killer 2 years before the iPhone.

yep- I was going to write somethign about how WM6 is so close to the black and white (I think they called it pocket pc way back then) that I had EIGHT years ago that it's shamefull. At least Palm gave up and started from scratch- seems the borg are too stubborn to just do it.
On the hardware- I think that in general everyone is afraid of killing the battery. Surely they could put more stones and memory in any of these things but dont for some reason (WM, google, apple, palm, RIM, whatever...) |
