Comment Re:Can Palm do anything right? (Score 1) 617

I was a Handspring Visor owner, and got hooked on entering my billable hours as appointments in the calendar. I moved to a Teo 650, and loved it bar I had to buy some software and customize my firmware (to "see" the 4GB SD) to use it as a real music player (Audiogateway for Bluetooth, pTunes as a player). That phone was stolen (by some thieving motherfxxxx may he/she rot in hell forever). I replaced it with a Centro (and didn't have to replace my firmware - but still needed the software). I love the Centro now. It has one or two issues, but for what I actually use it for, it is the best phone on the market (and pretty cheap in the US, I hear).

It seems everyone has read only one line of my question. For those of you who know who you are, Once Again: I suspect a 5 GHz CPU in a current system will not be twice as fast as a 2.5 GHz system. In fact, my own experience is that even in CPU intensive stuff, one will be lucky to get a 15% increase in performance. And for most jobs, this will not be noticeable. For some jobs, for sure, a fster CPU will always help. But better software would help all jobs.

WHAT I AM SAYING IS THAT THE BIGGER BENEFIT WILL COME FROM THE ADDRESS SPACE of 64 bits. In fact, 32 bit CPUs will probably be faster than 64 bit CPUs for many tasks, but 64 bit CPUs will lead to more reliable software.

One good reason why computers can do more work than people is that they never have to stop and answer the phone.
