Some understatement thistreocentral.com >> Stories >> Commentary >> The Rob Haitani Interview: “Haitani: We’re aware some quality-related issues about the Treo 600 have been discussed on TreoCentral, and we regret any problems customers experienced. The Treo 600 was obviously a significant redesign of the prior Treo products, so new issues arose we didn’t see on the earlier products. In designing the Treo 650, we took these factors into account as we always look to improve the product. We also went to an even more leveraged model that utilized the expertise of an ODM, which resulted in the introduction of significant process and structural changes to further enhance the quality of the Treo 650 product and so far we’re encouraged by the results, although we always strive to eliminate all issues. ”

Taken from interview with Rob Haitani Product Design Architect for PalmOne . Lets see I have probably got through 3 treo600’s in past year (aerial, buzzing twice, previously with treo270 I had around five of them aerial, speaker, crashing etc).

The big question is do I go for the Treo650 especially with all the problems Suzanne is experiencing with her 600 and the crap Palm support of their website

A main stream media convert – maybe?

Wow is all I really can say. I met Jenny Chapman from the Cambridge Evening News at the recent CU Entrepreneurs “Where angels Dare” Prize giving with Philip from Equity Fingerprints.

I gave her a pretty hard time over the CEN’s policy towards the internet (We sell dead trees not news is their current policy) and also their complete lack of blogging nous etc.

Philip has been exchanging emails with her since the event trying to blind her with all the current buzz words. Anyway to cut a long story short Jenny has asked Karen Roem (sorry comments not enabled) to write an article in this weeks CEN about blogging (sorry no link available at the moment but check here). She then asked Philip about contributing next week. However, I thought it would be much better if she started blogging herself and amazingly she has agreed. This will be a great story for the Our Social World conference on business and blogging.

Congratulations Jenny let the blogging begin.

Blogging newbie?

Yesterday whilst at the somewhat outdated Internet World exhibition at Earls Court (see earlier post) I met up with Peter Martin of Junkk and evangelised about blogs and wikis. I thing he is sold on the idea as today apparently he went to hear http://www.perfectpath.co.uk/archives/000221.html”>Lloyd Davis speak about blogs at a mini seminar.

I wonder if he will visit Our Social World conference in Cambridge on blogging. Its on the 15th September 2005
