too bad Palm missed the market..they used to have a great product. it almost impossible to develop palm apps using Linux platform..bad move.. does the webos support python? pyqt? pyside?
I found that you have to use Codewarrior to even write a Palm app easily. Otherwise I found it near impossible. Pretty easy to do using Codewarrior. Palm Programming Bible is a must. I do Palm development for a living.
its also a shame that almost all new devices are a PDA/phone..ever stop to think of what happens when you break the phone? My current Gzone is the only phone I've owned that's lived more 1yr and I wouldn't think twice about replacing the battery instead of the whole phone. the rest died or broke or were broken. there are very few mil spec phones and no mil spec PDA's on the market.
Take better care of your phones. I have all my past phones lined up side by side on my dresser. Sure I only use my Pixi and the Centro is still used as a PDA to test apps.
in the article they mention a ruggized device..to what standard? and at $500...pencil and paper is looking better..
$500 is cheap for a ruggedized Palm. Janam makes ruggedized Palms and the Janam is about $750. They are used by delivery drivers and such to print receipts on the go and such. It is pretty much a bargain. A pencil and paper receipt aren't very professional in my humble opinion. I am looking forward to the new Aceeca Palms. They are needed for the industry we make software for.
That PDA 32 sounds good too. I am not sure how powerful it is or if it could replace a TX or E2, but I hope it is. E2 and TX are too fragile for point of sale applications and they are getting hard to find anymore.
