  How does the creator of the Treo use his daily?
PalmAddict has a small interview with the man who created the Palm Pilot, and the Treo smartphone. How does Jeff Hawkins use his Treo every day? He gave Sammy from PalmAddict an insight into his daily routine.

"Sammy, I have a Treo 700p on Sprint. My usage is probably typical. Major applications for me are Palm email via Palm’s VersaMail and push EAS, Numenta email via Snapper Mail IMAP, of course I use our SMS app constantly, and I am a big web user on my Treo. I browse everywhere but check news (Yahoo, BBC, and International Herald Tribute mobile which is pretty much the New York Times) and Google often.

Some less typical apps are TomTom navigator while driving, Acid Image for image viewer, TideTool a very cool app for tides and currents (I sail), Google Maps, On Demand for weather, Leonard Maltin Movie Guide, Klondike solitaire, TPCMP for movies, pTunes for audio Spanish lessons, plus a few other apps.

My typical day starts in bed checking my calendar, a quick scan of email to see if something important needs attention, and quick read of news.

Throughout the day I use my Treo for email, voice calling, sms, and other miscellaneous things. I often watch movies on my Treo while traveling on a plane. I have a 4G SD card which can hold 6 full length movies. With a stereo headset and a pair of reading glasses it is quite good. My family often take pictures and we email them to each other as a way to stay in touch. As you might expect, I use my Treo all the time."

Hey, that is pretty cool. But, did you noticed that Jeff said he had a 4GB SD card in his Treo? According to Palm's KB, the Treo can only accept a 2GB card. I wonder if Jeff was ROM hacking the Treo 680 and installed the SDHC driver, or, because he wrote the Palm OS in the first place, did he just whip up his own driver? Inquiring minds want to know.
