I'd Have More Respect for Palm if They Didn't Lie...

If you need a good laugh, check out the Tungsten T vs iPAQ 3870 comparison on Palm's website. While it's nice that they have a device that can be compared apples-to-apples with a Pocket PC, Palm doesn't seem to sure of themselves. Blatant marketing spin I expected, blatant untruths supprised me.


"TT: Create, view and edit Word- and Excel-compatible files and view and share PowerPoint presentations.
iPAQ: View and edit Word files, view only for MS Excel and PowerPoint files"


I could have sworn I edit Excel files all the time in Pocket Excel. Am I hallucinating, or is Palm so desperate to justify their outrageous price for the TT that they'll lie through their teeth?


Check out the page and see for yourself. Note to Palm: you don't have to be dishonest if you have faith in a good product.
