But as much as I love it, I do still always need to carry my phone with me, because the Palma—even the newer Palma 2 Pro with mobile data—just isn't a good match for many of the tasks I use my phone for, including navigation and tap-to-pay.Soon, though, there may be a dual-purpose device that will serve both masters. Bigme, another Chinese tech company best known for its e-ink devices like e-readers and digital notebooks, has...
