El LifeDrive de palm es el primer PDA con disco duro ( 4 gigas ) viene equipado con Bluetooth y Wi-Fi, la hace como unidad externa USB en tu PC, reproduce música y video además de todas las funciones normales de un organizador electrónico.

Yo me pregunto, porque no se le ocurrió a nadie esto antes? Dell y Compaq se han dormido miserablemente en sus laureles, el éxito desmedido del iPod debió ser una señal clara de para donde van las preferencias de los consumidores.
Le alcanzara con esto a Palm para revivir el mercado de los PDA’s ante el embate de los smartphones?

Difícil de predecir…

Ciertamente ya era tiempo. Recuerdo cómo me la pasé mentando madres cuando se me descargó la batería de mi Palm Zire 71 justo cuando tuve que formatear mi disco duro y no la había sincronizado aún...

Con esto RECIEN se empieza a justificar que actualice mi Cassio Boss de 512 Kb.

Cambiarla por una Palm, era un salto pequeño... ahora hay una diferencia cualitativa.

Sólo me resta esperar que baje de sus U$S 500 actuales al más racional U$S 299 y me anoto.

Pepper wireless pad from Pepper Computer is the first portable device designed specifically for all the broadband activities consumers want to do most: browse the Web, e-mail and IM with friends, listen to music, watch videos, share photos and create personal journals.

The Pepper software also guards against viruses and spyware, and is upgradeable to meet the demands of emerging technologies such as IPTV and VoIP.



Pepper Software—The Pepper wireless pad comes ready to use, right out of the box with Pepper's consumer-focused software. Offering the same great features as the software on the Pepper, the Pepper Desktop software is also available for Windows-based PC users. Both the Pepper wireless pad and the Pepper Desktop PC software include:
Web Browser—Directly access the Web with our Mozilla®-based browser. Keep and organize your bookmarks and Web page clippings (for offline viewing).
E-mail—POP3, IMAP4 and AOL® Inbox support

Internet Radio—Listen to your favorite streaming radio stations.
Games—Improve your hand-eye coordination (oh, who are we kidding? Just have fun) with our entertaining, ad—free games—quick, simple and always a hoot.

Scrapbooks—Share your experiences with friends and family by creating free-form collages of pictures, text and music into your own online scrapbook.

U$S 850, pero recién reciben las "pre-compras".

Pinta muy bonito pero tengo algunas dudas en cuanto a la futura compatibilidad de alguno de sus componentes.
