A little known fact is that, as a result of the hp/Compaq merger, the Office Max chain of stores will soon be dropping the Handspring line of PDAs and replacing the space with iPAQs.
Until now the availability of PPCs has been rather sporadic at O-Max stores with the Jornadas and Casios being only being available [...]
Given the numerous problems with quality control on the Casio E200 PocketPC this should come as no surprise to anyone.
Casio in Texas has announced that they will no longer distribute the E Series of Pocket PCs in the US, instead opting to push the BE Pocket Manager more. The Casio Pocket PC will survive in [...]
Now how in the heck did I get here? Oh yeah, now I remember. Jeff suddenly can’t handle the workload of spilling forth new tidbits on the blog form of “Writing On Your Palm” so he had to put out a call for help and I was the first to answer. So now I have [...]
Brighthand has a forum thread chock full of plump, juicy rumors about the iPAQ 5000 series. I know past iPAQs have sucked, but this one sounds more Jornada-like than a traditional iPAQ. Check out the thread and make sure you have a bib handy.
Rumor has it that Dell is gearing up to offer a Pocket PC. They’re reportedly in negotions with Asian manufacturer Compal to buy 1.5 million new devices to be sold under the Dell brand. I’ve heard wild rumors on this one from Dell shooting for the sub-$300 price point to readying a Pocket PC Phone [...]
The Register has an interesting article about the iPAQ, saying out loud what many of us have been thinking since HP canned the Jornada in favor of the post-merger HP iPAQ. Namely, “What the (expletive deleted) were they thinking?!?” The iPAQ might be a household name, but it’s just as often cursed in the same [...]
c|net has an interesting article about Palm’s requested reverse stock split. Palm (and presumably PalmSource) wants to exchange 10-20 shares of their existing stock for 1 share of a more valuable reissued stock. This move is seem by many as a stop-gap to prevent falling below $1/share and being delisted by Nasdaq. Is Palm in [...]
Tom’s Hardware has a great review of the new PaceBook Tablet PC. Unlike the “convertable” swivel-screen laptop design we’ve seen from Acer, this is a true slate-style tablet PC that comes with a matching wireless keyboard/trackpad combo. The end result is a device you can use like a laptop when you want one, or ditch [...]
Sorry about the dearth of posts recently. I’ve been swamped with the new job (I know, you’ve heard this all before) and my ISP had some IP address issues that confused the heck out of AvantGo for a while there. Since I know a great many of my readers read the site offline, it seemed [...]
Okay, I’m not James Brown. I don’t even play him on TV. But I think I feel his pain.
As many of you know, I just started a new day job recently after a long bout of unemployment. The job’s going great, but I was stupid enough to pull out the stops on content here just [...]
