Saturday Evening news around the web (April 30th)

Post by GuruX »

XYZ Computing has taken a look at palmOne's newest PDA/phone hybrid: the Treo 650. Here's a snippet:
The Treo 650 is 4.4" x 2.3" x 0.9 and weighs 6.3 ounces. This means it is a good deal larger than your average cell phone and a bit bulkier than your average PDA. The Treo 650 also incorporates a VGA digital camera into the mix, a feature which many cell phones are beginning to adopt. The beauty of the 650 is that it is able to combine the attributes of all three into a single device. The problem here is that the smartphone becomes a proverbial "jack-of-all-trades" and we want to make sure it can do each task at least close to as well as a single-task unit, like the phone, camera, or PDA which you are giving up. Of course the smartphones cannot be expected to do each job as well as a product which was designed for that sole purpose, but if the sacrifice is too great the smartphone is just not going to be worth it.
To see if this is the right combo device for you, check out the rest of the review over at XYZ Computing
