I want to honestly see more interfaces like the palm's hardware pen. I mean c'mon, does that crappy little thumb keyboard actually appeal to you? When blackberries were introduced to the world I thought they were one of the most god awful interfaces to use ever. I think the palm will be a precursor to something even better, like a multi-point touchscreen interface. There is a reason that I want a palm and not a tablet. When I turn on my palm, it is on in under a second, and I don't have to deal with the Windows OS and all of it's crappy vulnerabilities and downfalls. My tablet and/or laptop will not fit in my pocket. When I think of a good interface, I think of the palm pen. Look at it this way. If there is a tree in front of you, do you want to have an axe? or do you want to type "chop" "chop" "chop" with your thumbs? I use my Tungsten C to get on my home wireless and talk to friends for free through the AIM client. I cannot do that with a phone because internet service on your phone is extra $$ from your regular internet. I like having one internet bill. When phones have an option to communicate entirely through web based services like 802.11 and bluetooth without charging you for minutes, and they have a more tangible interface than the pen interface palm uses (holographic projections and laser sensors?) maybe I'll consider dropping the PDA. If anything I wish more companies and portable devices would develop a more accessible and tangible interface. the point is, I have more muscles in my body that could be potentially used to communicate information than the ones I use for my thumbs!
