In this cnet blog post there is talk about Palm One confirming that they are going to be using a 4gb micro hard drive in one of their new handhelds. This is a freaking novel idea. I say “freaking” because I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now. I always wanted a PDA with a mini hard drive in it. Yes there is some handhelds that have a gigabyte of space, yet that is still not a mini hard drive, yet just a large flash memory module. (Correct me if I’m missing something)
Now that hard drives are getting smaller and cheaper, they are going to put into everything. Hence there being so many portable music players out there with a large amount of space in a small package. Players such as the iPod, iRiver Creative players, Virgin players, and like a whole lot more. Now you can get a hybrid PDA that is your camera, life manager, music player, and telephone all in one. (my palm zire does all that except it is not a phone)
I can’t wait to see how these work out.
