List your perfect specs

[rob_squared]

I'm sure there have been threads that asked "what is your perfect PDA " and so fourth. But what would be really nice is simply a list of features that you'd like to see. Not necessarily all in the same device.

*I am aware I might be flamed*

-dual MS slots
-MS pro support
-integrated WiFi
-integrated Bluetooth
-enhanced IrDA
-VGA out
-.3MP camera
-voice recorder
-integrated GPRS
-integrated GPS
-320x480 16bit screen
-MP3 capability
-DivX playback
-built-in keyboard
-TV tuner
-AM/FM radio
-virtual graffiti area
-flashable ROM
-64MB internal memory

That's way too much for a PDA. You're asking so much out of it that it's going to be the size of a laptop. And the battery is going to be a carry-on bag for trips. Take the simple, most important things and add a few entertainment specs. Take out some of the things that would be better off seperate, like the camera. They come cheaper seperate anyways, and have better quality. They drain battery and take up space. Take away the keyboard because that only takes up space. Bluetooth isn't necessary for me but if it comes in a small package then I'll accept it. I like everything else on the list and I still believe they could do everything minus the uneeded keybaord and camera in a body the same size as a T665. That's my dream machine. lol I think they could build one right now with current technology only a bit bigger then a T665. Make is OS upgradeable and you know how many people would buy it?!!

I agree with the last poster except I want a radio too. Also, either 2 MS slots, or MS and SD (unlikely since Sony wants to push MS). Also, the MS slots have to be able to read old and new MS. I think we could see this within 6 months in a T665 body.

This what I want and actually think can be released this year (maybe not by Sony):

32MB RAM
Integrate Bluetooth
Enhanced IrDa
200Mhz ARM CPU
SD Slot
320x480 Screen (Virtual Graffiti)
No Camera
No Keyboard
Normal Graffiti, not Graffiti 2!!!

To which I quote myself:

"Not necessarily all in the same device."

[hacthesac10]

Well I don't want 2 devices...lol. You get my point though? If I'm going to have one, its going to have the best stuff and most necessary.

[rolando]

-dual MS slots (assuming some MS accessories come...)
-MS pro support
-integrated WiFi
-integrated wireless service like the blackberry (I just don't know what it's called)
-.2 MP camera
-voice recorder
-320x480 16bit screen
-MP3 capability
-virtual graffiti area
-flashable ROM
-32-64MB internal memory
-about the size of a SJ or T-Series. It could even be big long like the T and thick like the SJ. I don't care...

How about simply a T series with virtual graffiti? Anyone think this might happen?

[williepalm]

And 1 month battery life.(average on time 5 hours a day)

[Macabre Man]

My perfect specs?

Hmmmm


My Tungsten | T with more memory and more battery life.


I love my Tungsten! :)

Is Tungstens the ugly looking piece of metal I saw the other day at Best Buy with a funny looking slider function??
I was wondering what it was..

Let's be nice.  They have had quality issues though.  I emailed Palm and they admitted to me a list of problems with them.

[williepalm]

I'm always nice. :)

lol, I'd still by a Tungsten for the 5-way pad if I had to replace my T665 for some reason. That's what I really want on a handheld.

[williepalm]

The 5 way navigational pad? You can actually operate the Tungsten one handedly with it. But I think they should have put the pad on the side for easier usage(like the jog dial) but then, its gonna increase the thickness.

[hacthesac10]

yeah, but it is better then the jog dial since you can use it for games and scrolling different ways

[williepalm]

My neighbour who has one tole me after using it one handedly for quite some time , his thumb actually got numb because of the position of the pad.

[hacthesac10]

well, im sure Sony could improve it if they made one, they are innovators

[williepalm]

You're right

[hacthesac10]

Well, I guess this solves this thread, well for what it ended up to be, lol

yes, you can operate the entire thing by the 5 way pad. :)

Even with the slider closed. You just press the 5way button for two seconds and it goes back to the launcher.

[williepalm]

thats right.

Thanks for the imput guys (and girls, if any, I don't check profiles), I knew there'd be a few features that I missed.
