It s simply not convenient. If the IIIc isn t the smallest color handheld in the industry, it s darned close. I can carry the IIIc invisibly in a suit breast pocket or even inconspicuously in a trouser pocket. It s small enough. The real excitement for me, though, is the operating system enhancements.
Color has nothing to do with it.
While Palm s software engineers were retooling the OS so that title bars would be blue, they also made some significant, useful improvements to how the Palm handheld works. The clich is, the best just got better, and it s a shame to resort to such crudity. Effectively, however, this is true. For instance, suppose that attractive stranger beams you her phone number from across the train platform. In the past, you d accept transmission, and her love note would be moved to the unfiled category, from where you would need to retrieve it later.
