Subject: My Findings on the m100

today, I finally picked up an m100 at Fry's and started to

> * The affinity for the size and shape of the unit was very high. The more
someone didn't code or regularly use a computer, the more
> they liked it.
> * They spent and incredible amount of time holding and exploring the
device than previous times I gave them a Palm III or Palm V
> series unit.
> * When asked how much they though it cost, the response was around $250 to
$350. They were totally floored when I told them it
> retails for $145.
> * All of the ones that didn't own a Palm device already (the high school
and college crowd mostly) originated they can finally
> afford a Palm device now.
> * 75% like the idea of the HotSync cable since it took up less space on
the desktop. A few with laptops commented they it will take
> up less space on their laptop case.
> * Those who used Palms before commented that the buttons were better
placed and easier to used. They were also perceived to be
> larger.
> * No one noticed that the Memo Pad button was switched to the Note Pad
button.
> * Most (80%) thought that the functionality of the Note Pad was always
there in previous Palm devices.
> * Of those that were regular Palm users, ALL of them didn't notice the
screen was smaller nor the unit was lighter 'til I mentioned
> it to them. This was the most surprising of all.
> * The flip cover was also a hit since it fell off less than the Palm III.
> * No one could tell that you could have different color shells. When I
showed them how to take off the shell, they all originated
> different colors and patterns.
>
> Overall, I'm very surprised and impressed how well this device hits non
technical folks. Yes most of it is fashion and not tech but
> then, look at the bottom lines of Levi, Gucci and other fashion houses. I
now see where a lot of this handheld business is going.
> I think we are in a very rare space where style and substance are equally
weighted.

> This isn't your developer's Palm! Comments are welcome.
