No real need to do everything in cloud just because it's there and everyone seems to be living on it.
I agree with you on that part. Windows CE is strong because of this offline aspect, I think.
I use Sig 3 to write down notes for work and study.
I will surely catch up on my Sigmarion III experience after I master the Jornada. Sig3 seems quite similar to the Sharp Zaurus
(which I know not much
) in specs but with a much nicer screen and keyboard. I can't help but have a vague feeling that like J720, Sig3 is also a very inspiring and capable machine.
Call me paranoid but it's so common and dubious for smartphone apps to ask for all sorts of permissions. Google should have put the permissions field before everything but I suspect it got deliberately pushed to the least accessible and visible position of the App info menu ... Perhaps I am just too stupid to figure out why an ordinary dictionary app needs to "Read phone status and identity"
(IMEI? IMSI?
), "View network connections", etc. iOS is no better I gather.
My personal conviction is if possible I won't let the web know more about me than necessary. My worst fear is just that everything
(files, data, keys, even fingerprints, voice and facial images
) stored on my "smart" device is contantly being monitored and data-mined day and night. Big data is a universal mixed bag. I don't know maybe it sounds like an apparent self-contradiction for geeky folks like me who both embrace and reject technology at the same time.
(Should've rant in my blog instead.
