 Will unlock'd Apple iPhone tempt you from a Treo?
« Thread Started on Nov 19, 2006, 1:13am »

The latest rumor on the Apple iPhone, is that it may well come unlocked and with that in mind I would like to invite your thoughts, especially for those using a Palm Treo. Will an unlocked Apple iPhone tempt you away from using a Treo?

We invite you to add your thoughts to this thread

I don't have a Treo so technically the answer is no, as I can't be tempted away from what I don't have....! But, I would be tempted to get one, I love the Ipod, even though I have a Sony A3000 MP3 player instead (price was an issue), but an Ipod fone could be a joy to use!

Without knowing functionality details I don't know, but probably not. If it comes with wifi, bluetooth and full office synchronization then I would look at it.

Thanks to APark for the idea of the question, personally I think it would not tempt me unless it offered an alternative to touch screen text input. I would like to see such a device offer WIFI, bluetooth, PIM, and I am pretty sure it would offer iTune integration because at the end of the day I think it is to be expected.

Still not enough for me to get rid of my Treo. Now if Palm and Apple joined forces, then that's another story. I think Palm could flourish given the right direction from Apple. Imagine the innovation.

Apple taking on Palm would be cool, but I bet there would be a serious price hike for Palm devices, but at the same time may give them the opportunity to bring back a Newton / Palm clone or am I just dreaming?

Not necessarily a price hike, the iPod Video and Nano were all reasonably priced and Apple / Palm would have to price reasonably because competition would be quite fierce.

Guys, let's be honest the idea that Apple would take over Palm is pretty slim at the moment, but the idea is good, however I think Palm are doing a good job at the moment developing robust hardware it may not be as innovative as we would like but at least they are introducing new hardware.

See your point but I still think Palm is target for take over whether by a big name or by somebody else. Remember when we were all stunned when PalmSource was bought out and still we cannot say whether this was a good or bad move until we start to see progress with ALP.
