A nice write-up by Daniel, complete with specific feature ratings for the different devices.
He’s got comments off, but it’s interesting in “Applications” he rates the BlackBerry 10/10 and the iPhone as 7/10, but the Treo as 5/10. Considering the Treo has access to most of the hugemongous Palm third-party application library, it should at least beat the iPhone and P900.
Hi Justin,
Comments aren’t off, you just need to register to add them.
I’m looking at this more from a developer’s perspective, I admit. It’s true that PalmOS has got a TON of applications available for it, but you are stuck using some fairly venerable native apis. You can use IBM Websphere to run J2ME applications but it is a heinous implementation – applications can’t run in the background, for instance.
The fact that PalmOS hasn’t had a major upgrade since around 2001, doesn’t really endear to it much as a developer or a user, either.

Say, I’m totally new to the handheld world. Does anyone know whether you can dock an iPhone, or Blackberry to your home or personal computer? Can it be physically hooked into a laptop? I just thought that it might be easier to download information such as text, video and images onto your computer after a day’s work. I thought it might work well with a laptop. Anyone know?
