If you get a chance, please see the blog of Mr. Michael Mace, "former Chief Competitive Officer and VP of Product Planning at Palm, VP of Strategic Marketing at PalmSource" at mobileopportunity.blogspot.com.
Mr. Mace provides a view that is really unique about the shortcomings of the Lifedrive Mobile Manager. I think that Palm will readily acknowledge some of the shortcomings that Mr. Mace is not afraid to describe.
I am very confident that Palm will come out with a Lifedrive 2 that far exceeds our expectations for stability and efficiency. I think that CEO Ed Colligan is actually listening to and reading the criticism about the device.
From almost all corners of the world in regards to both top devices, we are hearing about the need to have more on board memory - 128 to 256 megs minimum for Lifedrives and Treos. In order to run older programs that require continuous memory, you need to have at least this amount of memory on board. Hopefully we will see this come to fruition.
I did leave some feedback on Mr. Mace's site because I think that there were a few things missing from his post in regards to the lack of robust sales of the device. Hard Resets and sluggish response times were not initially mentioned and I feel that these issues kept a lot of physicians from buying the device.
But as one who loves the Palm Operating system I reiterate my confidence that the Lifedrive 2 will be a great device. They have had more time for testing and the support from even ex-employees such as Mr. Mace, combined with a CEO who appears to be listening, all bode well for the future.
