Lex has posted the following at the Pocket PC Thoughts’ forum: “I’d like to measure the state of affairs with converged devices today. I carry two devices because I want a full screen PDA and a strong, reliable cellphone. If a PDA is only a PDA, it has to be a PDA ! My phone has to work as a phone; That’s all it does. People seem willing to accept deficiencies just to have the convenience of a converged device. Your thoughts?”
He’s included a poll, and would love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Head over and weigh in!
I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford
I have had a converged device for several years, and after a brief attempt at carrying an Axim X50v in addition to an imate SP5, I will never go back!! Having everything in one device is just so nice!
