Comments on: Palm unveils 'friendly' Treo 680

It has its brethren's business software skills, but the new model is clearly aimed at the consumer market.

Forget the camera and music playing crap

It's nothing more than a gimmick. I have a Canon SD camera in my
bag and an iPod nano. I don't want your stupid not even half-
cocked convergence device, I just want a phone PDA that is TINY.

Totally Disagree -- All in One Works For Me

I will only carry one device around -- right now, it's a Treo 650.

-- It's an excellent phone and organizer
-- It syncs with Exchange and desktop apps so I don't have to worry about losing data on the phone
-- It has good sound quality for playing music
-- I can load other applications on it
-- Mobile data provides news, sports scores, access to Google, etc.

Basically, the Treo keeps me from having to bring a laptop everwhere I go. The 650 camera sucks, but the newer models have better cameras (good enough for day-to-day use).

There are a lot of people who would rather have an 80% solution for 3-5 functions rather than carry 3-5 devices around.

Moto RAZR + iPod

and there you have a sleek stylish all in one. It took soo many years for something like RAZA and iPod to come out. It will be good if Apple can do a 'phonPod'. A decent all-in-one is yet to come. I use the HP iPaq with phone, but like other it still has miles to go.

All-in-one = less clutter!

While own a several digital cameras and portable music players, I hardly ever carry them on me. With a 1GB memory card, I have enough music for a couple of hours, several episodes of Seinfeld, an e-book, several games and an array of family photos. Even if you were to put the smallest camera, music player, and phone in your pocket, you wouldn't beat the compact size of the new Treo 680. BTW - It's not meant as a replacement, it's all about convenience.
