Many of the new applications were designed for the latest smart phones, specifically those that run Palm OS, various flavors of Windows Mobile, or Symbian. Many of the vendors talked about how they were targeting these phones now because, though they're not as prevalent as other feature-rich phones, they represent the direction phones are moving in.

Numerous third-party products and solutions were also on display at the Forum's trade show. The keynote addresses defined the major themes of the gathering; included the company's vision for the digital home and digital office, widespread wireless mobility, enhanced computer platform and Internet security, dual-core processors, WiMAX, remote collaboration, world-class enterprise computing systems and management, and mobile gaming and video; and explored the benefits of virtualization technology. Intel execs also opened up about the many product delays, apparent direction changes, and stumblings over the past year. All told, this IDF show was an informative event, although there was the customary marketing agenda and lack of specific future product technical information in most areas.

The 9300 is an update to the old 9210 Communicator and a sister to the new 9500 Communicator, which are both hulking bricks of phones that unfold into pseudo-mini-laptops. At 5.19" long, 2" wide and 0.8" thick, weighing 5.8 ounces, the 9300 certainly won't be petite, but it will come a lot closer to handheld comfort than the 9210 and 9500 do.

It delivers much of the power of high-end authoring packages without their complexity or cost. Wannabe filmmakers can preview their work in real time and use the two subtitle and two audio tracks to add alternative music, languages, and commentaries..
