Anyone who considers the T|X as a potential dedicated pdf reader should definitely check it out. Unfortunatelly, it seems the company has dropped support for PalmOS, but I guess one can still get a copy of their latest version (Repligo Viewer 2.1 for Palm).

Palm could have owned the internet tablet world if they made something like the TX, just with a more usable (say 6-inch) screen (and better software). I still use my TX to check e-mail and futz around on the web, but reading ebooks is a major hassle. And it isn't that the screen hurts my eyes, I just get tired of scrolling all the damn time.

Tell me which one is best. Palm: where a monkey randomly hitting a keyboard isn't a math theorem; it's how we got our business plan. where a thousand monkeys at a thousand keyboards isn't an epigram; it's our R&D department. creating innovative products since _____(TBD). innovation? What's that? And one last one: Palm's business decisions lend credence to the story that the company got its name because "bones" and "tarot" were already in use. I have a few reasons why.

Palm:

where a monkey randomly hitting a keyboard isn’t a math theorem; it’s how we got our business plan.

where a thousand monkeys at a thousand keyboards isn’t an epigram; it’s our R&D department.

creating innovative products since _____(TBD).

innovation? What’s that?

And one last one: Palm’s business decisions lend credence to the story that the company got its name because “bones” and “tarot” were already in use.
