Celio Redfly Reviewed
Posted by Nurhisham Hussein in "Pocket PC Accessories" @ 03:00 PM
"The applications appeared much better on the REDFLY than I thought they would before I had a chance to try the device and there were only a couple that had issues. This is an early beta model and the software is still being worked on and optimized. Web browsing was actually enjoyable on this display and text entry is going to ROCK! Using applications like the SoftMaker Office suite with this large display and keyboard could be killer for the business user."
A couple of videos on the Celio Redfly for you today - Matthew Miller over at ZDNet has got his hands on a pre-production model, and he likes it quite a bit. Next, James Kendrick from JKOnTheRun has a somewhat more extensive run through of the Redfly (check out the bluetooth connectivity test - fast!), and he really likes it too - there's obviously a great deal that can be said for the concept. The key question, as just about anyone who's followed Palm's Foleo saga can attest, is...what price? There's no news yet on how much this will go for at retail, though the consensus is that the $500 price tag quoted at CES is going to be too much, as against the alternatives. Thoughts?
