hmm, i seems to be getting a bit of flak about this on osnews when it
comes how bulky the phone can be. err, do people expect long lasting
wifi from something with the bulk of a samsung ultraslim slider?
We enjoyed the WiFi sleeves for the Compaq iPaqs when I was working at
Palm. Took the battery life of the device down to about forty minutes.
I used an iPaq for a year. Even with a sleeve with an extra battery in
it, power was in short supply. And the darn sleeve was so bulky, it
was like carrying a brick in my pocket.
something tells your trying to say that sleeves is a bad idea...
Gosh! Was it that transparent? :-)
Actually, I don't know if sleeves themselves are inherently a bad idea. The
iPaq's sleeves certainly sucked, but it's entirely possible that better
implementations are possible.
true. the biggest problem right now is that the usb port is unpowered.
therefor any optential sleeve will have to carry its own power supply.
outside of that, most of the hardware needed have become very small
since the ipaq.
question is tho if the fexibility afforded by a sleeve system is worth
the extra bulk.
yes the ideal device is something the thickness of a credit card that
can house the computing power of a nuclear physics super cluster. but
until one hits that spot, there will allways be a compromise between
size and functions.
