The BlackBerry, iPhone, and T-Mobile G1 may be the kings of smartphone cool, but if you ask me, they all share one big shortcoming: They don't run Windows Mobile.
Two very different tales are circulating about Palm Inc. and its new Treo Pro smartphone these days. One story, from Palm and some analysts, is that the new Treo Pro's unlocked feature offers a cost-effective way for international business travelers to dramatically lower roaming costs. The other story, from another group of analysts, is that Palm had to unlock the phone because it could not find a carrier willing to sell it.
Having enjoyed success with its sporty Centro models, Palm is taking some of the lessons it learned there back to its Treo business line: The Palm Treo Pro integrates certain Centro design elements with the Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system and with the more robust features of contemporary BlackBerrys to produce a sleek smart phone built with the image-conscious corporate user in mind.
Sidekick: The Good News & the Bad News Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
