Why Risk A Network Outage? Get a Palm

Link: The Official Palm Blog. Palm is highlighting, in this post, the reason why BlackBerry users were without email for hours the other day. A Network Operation Center (NOC) is like a pipeline that all BlackBerry messages must go through for an enterprise that is dependent on BlackBerrys. When the NOC goes down, everything stops until it is fixed. Why not bypass the bottleneck? Get a Palm. Enterprises can control their own servers with Microsoft Exchange Server. Get control of your life and your law firm. Send your CrackBerry users to rehab.

Hi!

As a fellow attorney and geek I have to say, honestly, that IMHO Palm devices are far inferior to Windows Mobile devices for so-called power users (yes, I'm aware that some Palm devices run Windows Mobile).

Having thrown in my two cents, I have to say: nice blog!

With respect, Ben, a true geek will choose Palm every time. It is easier to use, requires fewer clicks, and doesn't try to fit Windows into a PDA format it wasn't designed for. Palm lives, and will be around long after Windows Mobile bloats itself into oblivion. I would be happy to do a Palm versus Windows Mobile smack down every time.

Hi Richard,

I have to disagree. PalmOS is already on its way out. Show me one source, just one respectable source, that says otherwise.

Windows proper may be bloated (I'm a Linux user myself) but Microsoft's mobile OS is far superior to PalmOS from a POWER standpoint (admittedly not from an ease-of-use standpoint, but I'm talking power here, not how easy it is for a ten year old to use it).

Let's have that smackdown. Here?

Thanks,

Ben
