Handspring Treo 180 by Dan Bricklin I've been using a Handspring Treo 180 combination PDA/cell phone for a few weeks. Here are some of my observations. [Last modified: 6 March 2002] When I first saw Jeff Hawkins of Handspring demonstrate a prototype Treo, I knew it was a device I needed to look into. As a combination Palm OS PDA and cell phone, I already knew from the Kyocera QCP-603 device it would have value. What struck me as special was the addition of a keyboard, similar to the RIM 850 and 857, and a variety of other buttons and switches. This looked like it would open up all sorts of opportunities for innovation and ease of use. When I actually held one (Jeff's) and felt how small it was, I was sure I needed to look at it. As shipments approached, I was able to borrow a preproduction unit to try. This report is based on that unit. http://danbricklin.com/log/treo180.htm For archives see: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
