Werbach Likes his Treo
Posted by Arnold
Kevin Werbach thinks that his Treo is close to convergence Nirvana.
Motorola's latest fully integrated phone module for hardware manufacturers measures 16 by 20 by 1.4 millimeters. That's about the size of a US nickel. We'll see phone functionality popping up in handheld gaming devices, portable music players, and other places that used to be completely different markets. When converged devices were either hulkingly large or pitifully incompetent at some of their functions, they were the domain of gadget freaks and early adopters. As the "good enough" threshold is passed, they will become the baseline standard.
I looked at some of these convergence thingies at CompUSA and at a local phone store. I'm not sold. I think that if I were a road warrior, I'd pick up a
Sony Vaio TR1 or TR2 series. I really like to be able to type, and to be able to see what is on a screen.
