Another TX User
Kirk from Harvard beamed up to Palmaddicts his experience with the TX as a medical device. I think Kirk is lucky that he could still find a replacement TX for the one which died. However Palm has not given any indication if it will still produce PDAs for those who don’t want to take the convergence route (i.e. use PDA phones). Kirk rightly did not choose the iPhone (or the iPod Touch for that matter) as I think the iPhone/Ipod Touch platform is not quite ready for medical users. I stated the reasons in the post : iPod Touch – a replacement for your old PDA?
There may be hope yet in the next generation Palm devices which are going to be powered by the Nova operating system. Ed Colligan had said Palm would concentrate on wireless access for these devices so perhaps there might be more than smartphones but perhaps PDAs, Tablets and Netbooks which are going to be Nova powered?
