Kyocera's Smartphone finds a clever way to wed Palm to cell
Article Abstract:
The Kyocera Smartphone weighs 7.3 ounces, and measures 1 x 2.6 x 5.6 inches. A 2 x 2 inch LCD screen, visible above the number keypad, displays the Palm OS functions. The keypad panel flips down to reveal and activate the rest of the Palm-related buttons and display. The phone's batteries last 4.5 hours of steady use; 110 hours on standby. With the included headset or speaker phone feature it is easy to talk on the phone while using the Palm PDA to create calendar or list entries, or manipulate contact information. The phone can also access the Web and email. The Kyocera is the best cell phone/PDA design introduced so-far.

When they build a better cell phone, less is usually more; guys gaga about StarTAC might soon be salivating over a Motorola model
Article Abstract:
The cell phone industry is constantly offering smaller products, as business people (usually business men) everywhere are eager to have the most compact model available. The only real limitation on a phone's size is the human body, as cell phone makers have to make allowances for the distance between the user's ear and mouth. Even that length is no longer necessary, with directional microphones commonly in use. However, users typically prefer to have a mouthpiece that covers their mouth, to add some privacy and avoid feeling as though they are talking to the entire room. The race to constantly have the smallest phone has resulted in a back lash of users who purposely use large, out dated models as a way of showing they are above using a mini phone as a status symbol.
