Qualcom previews PDQ, its Cell Phone Palm III Hybrid. zdnet.com Cell phones and PDAs converge at Wireless '99 By Darren Gladstone, PC Week Online February 10, 1999 12:19 PM ET NEW ORLEANS -- The buzzword "convergence" wasn't out of place here at CTIA's Wireless '99 show this week, especially as Qualcomm Inc. came closer to announcing the release of the pdQ, its eagerly awaited Palm III and cellular phone hybrid. Although the price of the pdQ has yet to be finalized, the device is on track to be available by June. According to Joanne Coleman, senior director of public relations for the San Diego-based company, "[The price] is going to depend largely on the carriers. They haven't dealt with a device quite like this, so the pricing is still up in the air." Coleman went on to say that the price could vary anywhere between $500 and $1,000. Qualcomm will also be providing the backbone software for the pdQ in the form of the pdQsuite. The suite contains pdQmail, which Coleman described as an "Eudora Extra-Lite" POP 3 (Post Office Protocol 3) e-mail retriever, and pdQbrowser, a proprietary text-based microbrowser. With pdQmail, users can retrieve, read and compose e-mail, as well as filter and file it. The pdQbrowser will support inline hypertext links and text formatting as well as traditional Web browsing. A trial version of the pdQsuite is being made available to current PalmPilot and Palm III users at www.qualcomm.com/pdQ/soft/.
