For me, this device has some of the most innovative changes that we have seen on a mobile device in years. This device is a slam dunk for Palm! I thought I would pass on to you some screen shots from a powerpoint presentation that was my first introduction to this incredible new addition in Palm's lineup.
As you know, Palm has given us a device for review purposes and it is our hope that that a review will be before your eyes shortly. It is our belief that because this device is so cool and packed with some terrific innovations as well as a unique blending of Windows Mobile and Palm features, in our opinion, rushing a review would do a great injustice to the device and you.
I can tell you that from the time Dave has had this device in his hands, he has given it quite a workout. IMPRESSIVE is the best description I can use to begin my initial thoughts. It is powerful, fast, easy to use and without question the easiest user experience I have ever experienced.
Sounds like I have the device, doesn't it? Well, I don't! Not Yet...but I will! It has been hard to get Dave to share it with me....but for the short time that I have used it, it is very cool.
What was my first impression?
SPEED!!
As we left our briefing with Palm, Dave set up his device with Exchange Active Sync as we were walking down the corridor towards the elevator. By the time we entered the elevator, he was setup and ready to do his sync. As we stepped off the elevator, his entire e-mail (137), Contacts (in excess of 500) and over 3000 calendar items were brought over and ready for use. This Verizon service is
FAST, INCREDIBLLY FAST!
What was the next impression?
Truly one handed and a unique Today screen that will make your user experience the BEST you have ever experienced.
Well, more to come and it will be soon but we are not going to rush. Dave's review will give you all that you want to know but in the meantime, here are 13 shots for you to look at just to give you a "taste" of what this device is all about.
Maybe you can do me a favor...send Dave a note and tell him to share this device a little more with me...lol.
