Monday August 02, 2004 Cell phones need to do what HP iPAQ 6315 does
Even though I dis'd the new HP iPAQ 6315 as being too bulky, one thing it does well as a combo PDA/cell phone is the ability to switch between WiFi (802.11x) and a cell data network (GPRS) That gives a nice easy transition from local WANs to wide area cell networks. See: http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/08/02/31NNwireless_1.html Cell phones should adopt this same technique. They currently do plan to do so, but the sooner the better. It seems that a cell phone form factor would beat the klunky combo PDA/cell phone (like the HP iPAQ 6315) if it could add this type of feature and minimal PDA features.
