CES: APPLE'S PHONE ANNOUNCEMENT OVERSHADOWS CES
The most talked about technology announcement last week didn't even come from CES. Apple announced its new phone at the MacWorld conference in California. The new iPhone sure looks snazzy. But it took me all of about five minutes before I realized I won't be getting one. First, it will be a pretty weak PDA compared to what's available in the Windows arena. Few applications will work on the iPhone and the web runs over the very slow Cingular EDGE network. Second, I've gone back to two devices after years of having a PDA phone simply because I like my phone small and compact and I like my PDA to have a good sized screen. I don't like holding a big screen up to my cheek when I speak and I don't want to always have to have a bluetooth headset on me either. I'm sticking to my Samsung A920 lightning fast EVDO phone from Sprint combined with my Dell Axim x51v. I get high speed Internet via a wireless bluetooth connection between the Samsung and the Dell and the Dell is just a sensational PDA. The Samsung also happens to be an excellent phone.
