I think what's most telling about how perfect the QCP 6035 is for the mobile professional is that I'm typing this article on it via an attachable keyboard, an iBIZ KeySynch Keyboard (at http://www.ibizcorp.com/pda_accessories/pda_keysync.html) that utilizes the serial port. Only, unlike with a regular PDA, I could plug in a headset (or turn on the speaker phone) and make a phone call while I'm typing. This makes it great for taking notes during a meeting and sharing them via email quickly and easily.

Implications for the enterprise
I believe the enterprise will benefit most from the advanced features of the Kyocera QCP 6035. By equipping a sales force with these mobile powerhouses, data can be shared through Internet connection via Eudora Web (at http://www.eudora.com/internetsuite/), or, for those toting an application like thinkDB (at http://www.thinkingbytes.com), via IR connection across the meeting table.

There are a host of applications available for the Palm handheld that empower the employee with access to mission critical information and data. For example, you can create PowerPoint-type presentations--with applications like Slideshow Commander (at http://www.synsolutions.com/software/slideshowcommander/), or you can access project deliverables with applications like ProjectAtHand 1.5 (at http://www.natara.com/ProjectAtHand/index.cfm) or Project Planner 1.2 (at http://members.home.net/tropicaltree/PDA_soft.htm).

However, this is offline data. Now, with the QCP 6035, those same employees can get access to mission critical information and data when they need it most--whether through an extranet (via Eudora Web 2.1 with Secure Sockets Layer support) or directly to a database via a Palm VII Web clipping application. These PQAs (Palm Query Applications) could become the next generation of enterprise middleware.

The QCP 6035 is the best of everything--awesome Palm OS, wireless connectivity (like the Palm VII), built-in modem for Internet connectivity (like a modem attached to a Palm V), and more.

Because now, when you get the mission critical data, you can bounce over to your contact list, tap on a number, and share the latest sales results.

All from a single device.
