why the touch pro???

[shadow-tech]

cool. thanks for the great response guys.

I think that the post that everyone seems to be quoting is the best 'sell' thus far. (cordoder)

You have defiantly convinced me to lean more towards the touch pro.

but im still skeptical. it seems like the hardware can never keep up with the software. they release a new software interface but the hardware can just barely handle it. its like the hardware is always one step behind.

that is a wicked amount of RAM. but i have another question for you.
My ppc6800 says it came with 64MB of ram. and when i look at settings/hardware/device information, it says that i have 64mb ram total.

But, 17MB ram is for 'OS program program memory and 47MB ram is for program memory.

do u think the touch pro will have increased of both? (im sure it will) but do wee need more os program memory or just program memory? any thoughts on that. im sure with 288MB ram (or whatever it is) they will give each more. but how much is required for the OS. when u buy xp or vista is says on the box the minimum required ram.

I have the htc task manager. just hold 'x' on a program when im done with it. if u hold x the app closes and exits memory, rather then run in the back ground.

I also think that the accelerometer is gonna cause more hassle then we think. any of u have the ipod touch? or iphone? the dang web browser is always going into landscape mode when i set it on a table. it seems like the phone might ignore calls when u are walking with ur phone in ur pocket.(it ignores when it is flipped over screen down). kinda trivial i know.

the only time i want to 'shake' my phone is when it is crashed. image a city full of people shaking their phones.

also, is the gps with agps support gonna be free? or locked down.

believe it not the FM tuner is a big deal to me. as long as there is realtime MP3 encoding.

i could be totally wrong but i feel like im gonna be let down with the touch pro. after watching a bunch of demos/reviews on youtube, it seems like it is just like the mogul. the only reason i might get it cause everyone else is gonna have it and i dont wanna get left behind
