Dit keer geen behuizing in zuurstok kleurtjes, maar iets waar je wat aan hebt: dankzij de nieuwe 33MHz Dragonball chipset van Motorola zal Palm Computing begin volgend jaar een handheld met kleurenscherm kunnen releasen:
Palm has been working on a color-screen device for months and will deliver it by the first half of 2000, said Michael Mace, chief competitive officer for Palm, at the PalmSource 99 conference here today. The conference is Palm's annual meeting of hardware and software developers.Color represents the next big thing for the handheld community. Currently, the vast majority of handhelds come with black-and-white screens, which offer low image quality that can limit viewing options. With color, the devices will move closer to desktop-PC quality.
[...] More robust internal technology is making the shift possible. Motorola announced yesterday that a new 33-MHz Dragonball chip will include support for color displays. Current Palms use a 16-MHz Dragonball chip.
