Recently, I wrote about wanting to try the “new,” but really being comfortable with the “old” – and ultimately when is the right time or right reason to move to the new? I decided that when something offers value, that’s the time to make the leap. Over the past couple of months, I’ve locked onto something I have high hopes for.
Contrary to popular belief, I’m not a big toy person. It is not necessarily because I don’t want to be a toy person – it’s just that I have a ton on my plate and I do not want to disrupt the “mind like water” equilibrium I have developed. However, I have somehow become sucked into the buzz over the Palm Pre. Being that I do want to get more into Web 2.0, as well as have a device that will let me comment and blog more, even with my busy schedule, I’ve become really excited about the new Palm that is coming out. The “River Rock” design and marketing really are in line with where I want my next step of productivity to go to. (I’ve tried to explain the River Rock thing to my teenagers and they just look at me with the same expression as if I just told them I’ve decided to move to Mars. 
) The “web orientation” of it; the integration of multiple calendar sources. It all has me jazzed and waiting with baited breath everyday to read the latest rumors on when it will come out. For the first time in my life (well, in a long time), I may very well be camping outside a Sprint store to get mine when they announce the release date. I think there is going to be real value here and can’t wait to experience it.
