So far, we have no rumors of what kind of handheld they are making (that I know of). What do you think the new LG handhelds or most likely smartphones will be like (or hope will be like)? A Clie type smartphone would be nice (stuck in the past ). __________________ Sony Clie N760c -> Sony Clie TG-50 -> Treo 600 -> Sony Clie NX80, Fossil wrist PDA-> Sony Clie UX50 -> Sony CLIE VZ90 -> TG50, iPod 5.5 Gen -> Sony CLIE UX50, Sony PEGA-EB40 -> Sony CLIE PEG-TH55/E1, Samsung A900 (Blade) -> HTC Touch -> Palm Pre -> HTC Hero, Apple MacBook -> HTC Evo ->Nexus S 4G, Apple MacBook Pro I like iSpin, it's my favorite launcher!!

Antoine Blessed by the Best :) Join Date: Aug 2002 Posts: 897	Paying attention to how they have released models and what they lack in their product portfolio, I would garner than we would see a device like the Clie UX series with an integrated phone compoent to compete against other communicator style devices. And then a few palmOS feature phones (similar to teh GSPDA M68) with a full smartphone that would go against teh Treo 650. I doubt we would see more than two devices announced when they fnially do announce a device though. __________________ Mobile Ministry Magazine \| Brighthand \| AntoineRJWright.com \| Jaiku

Hi Antoine, That's would be great. I always found the smartphone screens too small. I'm sure the will include a built in digicam too. John

JAmerican Why Does Palm Disappoint? Join Date: Aug 2004 Posts: 5,909	I too would love to see a UX-style (Clamshell/Tablet device) released with GSM/GPRS built-in. This would be the ultimate device. __________________ JAmerican Handspring Treo 90 --> Royal RG135nx --> T-Mobile Sidekick --> T-Mobile Sidekick Color --> PEG-UX40 -- > PEG-UX50--> Samsung T629 (Returned) -- > Palm TX (SOLD)/T-Mobile Sony Ericsson T610(Defective) --> T-Mobile Dash(Broken Screen) --> ASUS EEE 1000H Black/Treo 800w/PEG-VZ90 Accesories: Transcend 16GB SDHC \| 8GB Transcend microSD

This may not be available in the US but I can see it taking off in other markets.

Wait, you don't think LG will make PDAs right now, or ever?

If your answer is right now, I agree.

If your answer is ever, why the heck do you think PalmSource signed them for?

dragonsgames I'm stuck on the source Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Houston Posts: 7,103	Why even try to compete with the Treo? Unless you make a much thinner version with a better camera.... __________________ Sony Clie N760c -> Sony Clie TG-50 -> Treo 600 -> Sony Clie NX80, Fossil wrist PDA-> Sony Clie UX50 -> Sony CLIE VZ90 -> TG50, iPod 5.5 Gen -> Sony CLIE UX50, Sony PEGA-EB40 -> Sony CLIE PEG-TH55/E1, Samsung A900 (Blade) -> HTC Touch -> Palm Pre -> HTC Hero, Apple MacBook -> HTC Evo ->Nexus S 4G, Apple MacBook Pro I like iSpin, it's my favorite launcher!!

rcxAsh Do you Gentoo? Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: GTA/Waterloo Posts: 1,315	My guess would probably be a SmartPhone... Though, a vanilla PDA would be nice of course. It really makes me wonder if they'll just pull another "Sony?" Their main market has never been PDAs... Neither was Sony's. Thus, going for vanilla PDAs, I wonder how they'd do.. It might be too risky to jump into that market you think? That is, if they were watching Sony? Among other things, I know them largely for their appliances, monitors/TVs, phones and notebooks and IBM's ThinkPads. Thus, I probably sit in the boat that they'll use it for their phones. Time will tell... __________________ /* rcxAsh / SJ20 ..> TG50 + WiFi MS ..> UX40 + SGH-E730 ..> SE P990i ..> Lifebook T4010D* + Nokia 5800 XM Let's hope that's the end for me...
