At $99 the Centro has a great price but still a too-small screen! Palm’s new phone – the “Centro” - offers a price breakthrough for “higher end” smart phones.  With a mid-october launch date.  My prediction is that this is too little too late from Palm, already struggling to regain a market.     The Treo was a significant improvement over earlier phones and PDAs, but Apple’s iPhone effectively blew the Treo design out of the water.   Others will copy the iPhone and other good smart phone features but it seems Palm has just issued a “cheap” version of the Treo.     This was too little too late to compete with the iPhone and coming Google phone [...]

Not everyone has these tiny fingers that can press tiny buttons or virtual keyboards. If someone with stubby fingers cant work the keys effortlessly, it won’t sell.
Eyes: Only young teenagers can even see some of that small typeface display. Sure teenagers are a fine segment of the market to capture, but its only a segment of the market, its not ‘the market’. If the product is to succeed it has to be tested on an old fogey like me who wears glasses. Testing it on a 12 year old computer genius doesn’t mean much. Think of these new cell phones: they have large keypads and large screens. The elderly can use them easily and all the cell phones do is make and receive phone calls: no games, no morning coffee!
