What is a Smartphone?
A story by a Palm Treo user talked about the definition of "Smartphone" made by two MS employees. Basically two things:
1) a smartphone offers offline access to built-in PDA functions;
2) a smartphone must be sync-able with desktop/laptop computers.
The story also mentioned that carriers see per-user revenue of smartphones is higher than regular cell phones. Why? Check out their device price list and the monthly charge of data service.......
The 2nd part of the story compares MS smartphne with Treo, with emphasis on the features MS smartphone provides but Treo lacks of. For example, customized home screen, speaker volume adapting to calendar, etc. However, the author claimed that MS smartphone in general, in this case Motorola mpx 200, is very slow in terms of application response time, and thus the Smartphone OS felt immature.
