Palm is dying because of incremental, insignificant, limp along updates like this. The current incarnation of the treo is essentially the same exact thing that Jeff Hawkins created over 5 years ago. Since buying Handspring, Palm has done absolutely nothing to progress the Treo. ]]>May 9th 2007 6:18AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/May 9th 2007 7:34AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/May 9th 2007 7:42AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/
the other issue with these phones is I need a secondary app to cut and paste since the c+p buffer is so damn small.

I will say one thing, the 650 takes a ride across the pavement almost every day and still keeps ticking.]]>May 9th 2007 8:42AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/May 9th 2007 9:26AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/May 9th 2007 10:09AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/
But - I'm holding out 'til June to see how the iPhone shakes out before leaping one way or the other. I love my Treo, but I mainly love it for the functionality, not because of its unique Treo-ness.]]>May 9th 2007 10:21AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/May 9th 2007 5:50PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/May 9th 2007 11:17AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/
Palm had an incredible lead on the smartphone market with the Treo300 - that lead is long gone.]]>May 9th 2007 3:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/May 9th 2007 1:28PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/May 9th 2007 1:29PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/
If it wasn't that I was a Palm developer and the fact that it has the largest selection of third party apps of any smartphone, I would have jumped ship a long time ago. Palm, you are a pathetic excuse for an innovative company.]]>May 10th 2007 2:23AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/
I'm not sure what's up with the PPC version of UpToDate, but the Palm version, although uglier, loads quite a bit faster. I've tried UpToDate with a Palm TX and an hp hx4700. I don't know why the Windows Mobile version is integrated with Sentry 2020; it feels as though Sentry 2020 can't handle those gigantic files...

...UpToDate is, to my knowledge, one of the biggest medical "textbooks" around -- and in the hospital, the extra speed really makes a difference.

UpToDate, combined with Skyscape applications and Lexi-Comp, makes way for a whopper of a medical database; even better [in my view] than ePocrates. It's really the main reason why I prefer both Palm and Windows Mobile devices over the competition (i.e. Symbian, Blackberry).

I'll ramble on a little more. Carrying iSilo and PDF versions of Textbooks (i.e. Kaplan) on a phone is so much easier then lugging a heavy backpack, or, heck, even a UMPC. It makes studying on-the-fly that much easier, too. It also attracts a lot of attention [heh heh heh].

Palm may be old; Windows Mobile may be a little clunky; but I'll accept them over those gigantic, expensive textbooks any day.]]>May 12th 2007 11:14PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/May 26th 2007 12:45PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/09/palm-treo-755p-hands-on/Jul 12th 2007 5:00AM
