Hello. Sorry about the off topic post, but I'm sick (flu) and I'm
upset because I was now just told for the SECOND time in three days
that someone passed on a Palm V for a Win CE device due to the 4k Memo
limit. These are two people in two different places (one who I never
met before in my life - ran into him in the grocery store) who showed
me their new winces (nino and uniden). Both said they wanted to get
the Palm V since they loved the look, feel, and workability of the
Palm, but both said they needed to store medium to large text files
and lists and that the Palm could not do it without buying some
third party software (which to them was not justifiable considering
they were about to play a bloated $450).
So, I guess the question is: when is this going to be fixed?
Man, for whatever reason, this seemingly small issue is losing
customers and I just hate to see that happen. And it's not just
these two people. I've heard it before:
"Is that one of those Palm IIIs?"
"Yes, I love these things."
"Doesn't it have a limitation on the size of the notes you can write?"
<groan>
Whether or not it's really needed by people or if it's only just
a marketing stunt to rid the platform of that "limitation", I really
believe fixing that thing would be a nice hour or so to spend. Then
we can get more people to buy our software. :)
Thanks for the soapbox...I think I'll go soak my head and take
my medication.
