I still keep a charge on my Palm z22, but use it for lookups about once
a month. I have an Android phone, specifically an LG Optimus Slider
(Gingerbread) to use as a tablet (It's a no contract phone from Virgin
Mobile I do not use as a phone).
Both do adequately with calendar, spreadsheets, calculator, and games.
Still, there are deficiencies neither seems to overcome...
Android features I wish Palm had:
- GPS
- Camera, summoned by shutter button
- WiFi connectivity and WiFi Analyzer
- Good tablet web browser
- Youtube and other video playback
- MP3 playlists
- eBooks and PDF readers
- GCC: GeoCaching Calculator, GPS and Decoding tools
Palm features I wish Android Apps could cover:
- Instant-on Application buttons for Address Book, Calendar, Memos
- Better doodling, ala TealPaint
- recognized handwriting
- unrecognized handwriting
