It seems that LifeDrive reviews are multipling at an incredible speed. No wonder, it's one of the releases with the most major feature upgrade(4gig harddrive), and in my opinion, the best looking device they've ever made since the legendary Palm Vx.
Now, it has made a big splash on release. But does this mean big sells in the future? I'd say palmOne is having a PR crisis with all those reviews contradicting each other. Among them, the biggest problems are battery life and harddrive spin up speed.
(Here's the best review I've seen so far, on Gadgeteer)
With battery life, one review said"fantastic", and I've seen others critisize the battery life. Now we need a good overall test to see whether it's good or bad. Come on, palmOne, we need numbers!
And the harddrive spin up speed, there's an extreem debate on this fourm, and once again, one side says "very bad", the other says "acceptable".
Now we need some time for this mess to clear up, but palmOne, if you want this to be a hit, you should clear up this as fast as possible.
Personally, I was really wishing this new line of "mobile managers"would be a good replacement for clies and bulky laptops; and the army to fight back Microsoft.
edit: problems solved
Look here for the battery issue(incredibly long?!)
And this thread for speed issues
Seems that this is really the killer device^^
