I am now looking for a new personal digital assistant and communication device. Up to this point in my personal organization, I have kept my electronic organizer separate from my cell phone. I’m not sure I can give a detailed explanation for the decision, I just felt for myself that was the best practice. Technology has moved forward and I am now ready to join the leading edge. One choice I am considering is the Palm Pre 2
or soon to be released Palm Pre 3. It is a natural inclination for me to consider the Palm solution – after all I have owned a palm since the first Palm issue.
One reason to stay with Palm is they still offer the four basic programs I consider the foundation of my personal organization. The Palm.com website is showing that there is a Calendar / appointment program, a Contact manager, a task list manager and a note feature (and others). In addition the website also shows the new communication devices should and will manage multiple email accounts, and all of the social Medias.
According to engadget.com (http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/09/palm-pre-2-vs-hp-pre-3-whats-changed/) here is how the Palm Pre 2 compares to the HP Pre 3:
A physical feature I require is a slide out keyboard which comes with both the Pre 2 and the Pre 3. My own assessment of this personal digital assistant comparison is heavily favoring the HP Pre 3 electronic organizer to move my personal organization into the leading edge communication devices.
