What do you think is most important in future PDA Phone Releases?

As the question states, what do you think is the next most important feature in PDA Phones that the manufacturers need to focus on?

Wow, it seems like this is pretty evenly divided.

SCREEN SIZE TOO!
I've been squinting since I replaced my 6600.

And longer batter life seems to be pulling out into a small lead...

And therefore the conundrum that PDA phone manufacturers have run into... what is the next "gee whiz" that will create the buzz to get users to buy their device? With all of them so equally divided, it is a tough choice and much risk for their R & D programs...

To "me" it has to be battery life. I'm still running my 6600, so screen is ok and I don't have too

Although I wouldn't mind it being vga. But after all the tweaks, I can fit all my programs into storage with room leftover. And plenty of program space to run them in.

Hello everyone,

I never cease to be amazed at the fact that people do not mind having so little memory in their program side of the PPC. I am tired of Microsoft and MVP's saying that the OS does a great job of handling the memory and you don't need that much space. And, that is probably true with a virgin PPC with no other software loaded from 3rd party vendors. Thanks, but I want to load what and how much I want on to MY device. If you are happy, then I am glad for you. Every program loads a little into the main memory. Whether you load it to a safe store/external card or whatever. And that takes a little space. And a little here, and a little there... Soon you have a PPC that is stuffed and slow.

Give me a couple gig. Heck, give me a bunch. The more the happier I'll be.

Thanks to Apple for showing up with a 4 and 8 GB phone. Yes I already know the limitations. No loading programs into the phone. Blah, blah, blah. How long do you think it will take someone to figure out a hack around that. And then Microsoft had better watch out. They have been sitting on their laurels for a little to long. Let the games begin. And being the consumer, I get to reap the rewards of the bloodshed.

Now, I will sit back and prepare to be flamed...

Regards to all,

Kevin

Flamed? I couldn't agree with you more! More companies need to think outside the box so we get more innovation instead of the same old thing repackaged and rebranded over and over again.
