Palm掌上计算机历史最经典机型回顾

Palm掌上重月窗屣史最^典檄型回^

太平洋电脑网文/天空之城

从第一个真正意义上的具有palm操作系统的PalmPilot1000在1996年产生以来差不多整整

走过了7年,这7年间,palm操作系统在与wince的斗争中不断被完善,从1.0进展到了5.0。

直至今天Jpalm,sony»handspring仍旧不断开发出新的功能和特性的机型,2003就有十几

款新机型上市,引人注目的有sony的有着蓝牙,wi-fi和键盘:的ux50»handspring的tero600

智能手机,palm公司的TungstenT3,TungstenE等。7年间风云变幻,让我们通过palm历

史上经典机型的回忆,来看一下7年间的进展变化。

开山鼻祖---PalmPilot1000(1996)

图为:PalmPilot1000掌上电脑

显示屏幕:单色STN;16OX16O象素;2级灰度;无背光

处理器:M0T0R0IADragonball16MHz

操作系统:PalmOS1.0

RAM:128KB

尺寸:12x8.1x1.8(cm)

重量:162g

通讯:串口同步

提起palm我们不得不提起palmpilotiooo,那个第一部的palmpilot电脑使用的是Hawkins

和Dubinsky自己开发的PalmOS1.0操作系统,只有128K内存。那个机器开创了palm的先

河,尽管其销量平平,然而那个还算小巧、能与个人电脑同步数据,价格十分廉价的机器开始受

到了人们的关注。Pilot的功能尽管十分简单,然而它差不多具备了今天Palm的专门多特点,

从外型、按钮布局到手写识别系统。

真正意义的现代palm一一PalmIIK1998)

图为:PalmIII掌上电脑

显示屏幕:单色STN;i6oxi6o象素;4级灰度;背光

处理器:MOTOROLADragonball16MHz

操作系统:PalmOS30

尺寸:12x8.1x1.8(cm)

RAM/ROM:2MB/2MBflash

重量:162g

外壳:硬塑料

通讯:串口同步/红外

98年,Palm公司公布了第三代掌上电脑PalmIII>由于Pilot是闻名的制笔公司PilotPen

的商标,因此Palm不得已把自己的产品重命名为PalmHI。PalmIII使用的是PalmOS3.0操

作系统,拥有2M内存和2M的FlashROM,用户能够升级操作系统。这是第一款拥有红外线

的palm机型,从此之后palm开始能够同手机和palm之间进行数据交换。同时PalmOS3.0

在底层的稳固性和易用性方面有了专门大的改善,各种应月软件开始大量显现。

然而7号电池的使用使本机器的外形和体积都大大增加,厚厚大大的机身使得随身携带并不

是一件专门舒服的情况。

顺便提一下palmIII对中文使用者来说是第一款真正用使用意义的机器,2m的RAM在装

入中文系统后还会有几百k的剩余空间,亲切的中文终于能显示在palm上面了。

轻薄漂亮一一PlamV(i999)

图为:PlamV掌上电脑

处理器:MOTOROLADragonballEZ16MHz

操作系统:PalmOS3.1

显示屏幕:增强的屏幕技术;加强型STN;16级灰度;背光;

RAM/ROM:2MB/2MBFlash

尺寸:11.5x7-7Xi(cm)

重量:113g

外壳:铝合金

电池:内置锂电

通讯:串口同步/红外

在工业上,visorDelux第一个推出usb的同步底座,让文件传输的速度有了一个质的提高。

另一方面handspring在visordelux上加上了Springboard扩展技术»不断显现了各种的

springboard模块如内存模块»minijammp3模块,sondgoodmp3模块,visorphone手机模块,

MagriPresenter2Go简报模块,eyemodule相机模块,Xircom56kmodem模块,XircomWIFI

模块,magcllangps模块,rcdmblade蓝牙模块»InnoPak/2v振动提醒加内存模块,专门值得

一提的模块的领域中也有西安的笨鸟benbird大侠开发的cf扩展模块,能方便将能够使用的内

存拓展到你的cf卡那么大,功能多样化的模块将visor的应用领域极大的扩展。

多彩天地——PalmIIIc

图为:PalmIIIc掌上电脑

处理器:MOTOROLADragonBallEZ20MHz

操作系统:PalmOS3.5

显示屏幕:彩色TFT液晶显示;160x160像素;彩色256色;背光;

RAM/ROM:8MB/2MBFLASH

尺寸:12.9x8.1xi.7(cm)

重量:193g

外壳:硬塑料

电池:内置锂电

通讯:串口同步/红外

PalmIIIc是Palm公司2000年2月22日公布的最新产品,是该公司第一款带彩显的掌上

电脑。它的显现将黑白的palm代入了多彩的世界,一下palm的世界变得如此漂亮。

然而关于一个彩色的机器8M内存实在有点儿紧张。另外,彩色屏幕带来的不太长的使用时

刻,串口同步的较慢的同步速度确实是个问题。然而记住、它是第一款彩色的palm掌上电脑。

特立独行-handera33。

图为:Handera33。掌上电脑

妫理器:DragonballvZ33Mhz

操作系统:PalmOS352

显示屏幕:320*24016级灰度

RAM/ROM:8MB/2MBFlash

尺寸:12.1x8.1Xi.7(cm)

重量:167g

外壳:塑料

事实上提起palm我们就不应该不记得TRG,从一开始TRG就致力于将cf的扩展槽引入

palm。并推出了第一款的cf扩展槽的机器TRGpro,还记得那个红色限量版的机器吗?漂亮的

让人心动。2001年TRG改名为Handera,并推出了Handera33O»确实是那个16级灰度,

32QX24。辨论率,有着软手写区全屏手写的大机器,还记得看电子书时候它带来的惊喜吗?电

池的耐力也不错。此外它第一制造了双扩展,cf和sD.。另外还有一个优点确实是全屏的背光,

记得晚上使用palmIII时,手写区没有背光的苦恼吗?handera再也可不能有如此的问题了。

缺点确实是320X24。的屏幕可不是什么软件都能够使用的,开始时有点苦恼,要多试试各

种的软件,等到一切的软件都稳固下来后,handera33。但是日常办公的好帮手。

近于完美---tero90

图为:HandspringTero9。掌上电月卤

处理器:MotorolaDragonBallVZ33MHz

操作系统:PalmOS4.1

显示屏幕:辨论率:I6OXI6O;12位色

尺寸:10.8X7.0Xi.8(cm)

重量:116g

扩展:SD/MMC插槽

电池:内置锂电

通讯:USB同步/红外

Tero-Handspring一个新的系列机器,中规中矩的设计。然而难得的全面,该有的都芍了,

彩色屏幕,16M内存,SD卡槽,116g的重量。还有一个小键盘,打消新手对Graffiti的恐惧。

使用被动显示的STN屏幕,日光直射的时候比反射式的屏幕,如m5i5/T6i5要难读,刷新

率低,在动画中有明显的影子现象,图片不如m5x5或者T615细腻,然而大多数情形下有极佳

的色彩和亮度,假如你不玩动作游戏的话,他的表现甚至好过m5x5和T615。另一个缺点sd插

槽必须打补丁后才能够支持SDIO,

0S4能做好的,能做到的情况它都做到了。关于如此一个机器除了经典之外还有什么可说

的?

完美商务——IB515(2002)

图为:Palm515掌上电脑

处理器:MotorolaDragonBallVZ33MHz

操作系统:PalmOS4.1

显示屏幕:辨论率:160X160;反射式背光荣色屏幕/16位64K真彩;增强背光

RAM/ROM:16MB/4MBFLASH

尺尺11.4X7.9Xi,3(cm)

重量:139g

扩展:SD/MMC插槽

电池:内置锂电

通讯:USB同步/红外

拥有Palmm5i5就等于拥有了一切一几乎是一切。PALMOS4时代的完美商务机型,亮金

属色的机壳,简洁大方,易用。

提到palm的机器不得不提到sony,Sony在2000年获得了palm的授权,就像sony在其

家用电器中的表现一样,在palm上Clie更新太快了,让人都没有时刻对一个机型留下深刻的印

象,几乎没留下什么经典机型。几个有特色的机型差不多又有着不同方面的跌陷使得我不明白如

何对他们归类。如T415的烂屏幕,T615巨好的屏幕然而专门差的电池,n7xx高高在上的价格

都成为了你不明白是否应该选他们成为经典的缘故。

因此sony确实是sony,总喜爱把任何的东西打上自己的烙印,memorystick的犷展槽»

jog(转点通的滚轮),和弦铃声,看起来差不多上所有sony机器的特点,此外高分的屏幕,增强

红外的遥控乐趣,N系列支持的mp3,白色的金属外壳,看起来在palm的单•的商务面孔外增

加了许多的乐趣。

提到历史看起来就停不下了,有人说ppc是炫目的情人,而palm却是夫人,你如何想?期

望拥有自己的一台palm吗?等待着你,加入“胖”的行列!
