When I saw the package with the palm logo at work today. I considered its contents. It was either a palm Centro to test or a huge steaming pile of dog poo. Frankly I was equally excited one way or the other. In reality I was destined to drop the item in disgust after laying eyes on it.

It looks like two Blackberry Pearls frozen in flagrante delicti. Unfortunately for the palm Centro it runs palm OS. From a comparative standpoint the Centro the Treo. The obvious winner is the Centro. Smaller and cheaper this device could actually sell me on palm once more….if I was struck stupid overnight. I expect that palm fans will be excited about the transition, but this pales in the future release of the Blackberry Bold and the rumored Thunder.

The best truth in this device is there is a good chance that palm could dig itself out of its current hole from  the myriad of issues with the treo platform. More to come when I have the chance to play with this more.

Willcom D4 WS016SH Sharp review

The Answer is a lot. Mids are what I have been looking for in mostly linux based PDA’s like the sharp zaurus. But in the end they always end up rather hard to get to function the way i wanted them to. Still this thing reminds me of a Sega Nomad.

I mean its shinier but that doesn’t make it any less of a brick in the eyes of our lord. Although I am just as excited about getting something like this in my hands as I was my Nomad. The real downfall though will be if you can play WoW on it. Then the zombies will no longer be confined to their basements and bedrooms but roaming the streets.
