Musings on a (unusually) cloudy San Diego afternoon. The handspring thing has gotten me to rethinking the phone size problem, or perhaps non-problem. First, of late I've had increasing difficulty reading the small screen on my startac. Have been looking for a phone with larger screen and text size. Hey, I'm in my 50s and last I checked, I'm not alone. Second, a friend returned from a business trip in europe. Showed him my G* phone and asked if he had seen any euro models. Said not sure, but lots of phones the size of mine. He described them as opening like a book with computer on one side and phone on the other - large screen and both text and numeric key pads. I wonder if screen size and device/phone merging will dictate larger units becoming more popular, especially with web browsing beginning to take hold. If so, perhaps size won't be the issue it has been made out to be. I've already reached the point when traveling that I take only G* phone to reduce hassels. Simply forward my startac for trip duration. Size in that context isn't much of an issue for me. The perfect travel phone (for me) would be a flip open device / G* phone with Palm OS on board. Anywhere, anytime, anything. Figure a way to get that big aerial to double as a computer cradle for two hand typing, maybe. :>) California dreamin' Pierre
