But Is It Second Nature?
Clearly, by the question, the person who asked it knew by sight that I was using a Palm Treo smartphone. That means that Palm's marketing is working as I didn't see their Treo. However, why such the surprise that I had my grocery list stored in my Treo? By having my list in the Treo, it is easy to read and update. I was happy to trade up from working on the old standard: writing with a pencil on the back of an envelop. And, when I'm doing the grocery shopping, I also have two other PDAs (Personal Daughter Assistants) with me. So, I welcome the added simplicity.
While I do agree that PDAs can be better marketed towards the general usage patterns that people would use, I do not think that for many they should become second nature. I do think their usefulness should be better expolited by users. Just not to the extent of many power-users. Tis interesting and we at MMM want to hear your thoughts.
