So, Palm has introduced a couple of new toys. I've been using Palm products since 1998, the last one I got is a m505 which has been sitting idle on my desktop at least for the last six months. What happened? Well, nothing special, it's just that it simply kept doing the same stuff that it did in 1998. Yes, with colors but... my addresses look about the same with colors or in black and white.

What I mean is that while my other "user experiences" have changed quite a lot in the last few years, Palm software has not. It's probably a usage issue: there's only a limited number of features that you can invent around a bunch of appointments and contacts, but still, it's not as sexy as it looked once.

From this point of view, I'm somehow more interested in the Treo which, at least, merges a cell phone with a PDA, allowing you to get rid of one little box and some batteries to remember to charge.

But still, they have to do something better than using some weird metal for the case if they want my money again. I want the killer app. How about an rss news aggregator??
