Writing On Your... Microsoft Smartphone August 14, 2003 [MS Smartphone] | By anonymous 1. Writing On Your Palm web site is evaluating how good Microsoft smartphone is for writing texts: The Microsoft Smartphone is the best phone Iīve had yet. Itīs amazing what this thing can do. But for writing, itīs limited at best. Writers looking at carrying the minimum possible should hold off and see what the Palm Treo 600 really looks like when it comes out this fall. The Treoīs ability to run applications like WordSmith and the existence of a full QWERTY thumbboard rather than just a 12-key phone keypad will make it more compelling for text longer than a quick message. On the other hand, Iīm starting to see what Microsoft sees in the Smartphone/Tablet PC combination. For a lot of people, a Smartphone is really the only mobile device they need to carry around in a pocket. For times when writing serious word count seems likely, a light convertible tablet like the Acer or Compaq units might just trump PDAs. Interestingly author of the article notices that Microsoft smartphone is doomed to have plenty of software, because porting Pocket PC applications is easy: There is plenty of software available for Smartphone. The fact that most of the underlying code between Smartphone and Pocket PC is the same ensures that existing Pocket PC developers can quickly become Smartphone developers.
