PDA (Public Display of Affection) for PDAs

Saw this on the interwebs and had to create my own vanity list & graphic. 15 years of my PDAs...
  • What did we do before PDAs???
  • Palm Pilot - wow what an amazing tool!
  • Palm Treo - what an iconic design!
  • Palm Treo 270 - color screen! but the most ridiculous flip up screen
  • Palm Treo 300 - higher res screen. might have broke.
  • Palm Treo 680 - better specs, but no WiFi, no camera, low-res screen
  • Blackberry 9000 - Blackberrys were amazing.  Great camera, Wifi, and crystal clear phonecalls.  Early demise in a tub in a hotel somewhere in China but not before racking up $800 worth of international data charges in 2 weeks.
  • Blackberry 9000 #2 - too slow
  • Blackberry 9700 - around this time we got a iPod Touch and all of a sudden the lack of apps on Blackberry was a big hole. Yeah, there were BB apps but the few there were, sucked so bad...
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" - too big
  • Dell Streak 5" - still too big
  • Motorola Atrix - hopefully arriving next week!
Spec comparison: Then and now...
Palm Pilot specs: 16 MHz Motorola 68328 processor, 128kB memory, 160x160 mono display, 4.5Whr battery (2xAA)
Motorola Atrix specs: 1000MHz dual-core Tegra2, 1GB memory, 960x540 4" color display, 6.4Whr battery
