I just got back from watching the movie Signs, and I have to make a few comments.
I won’t review the movie per se, because it’s worth seeing clean with no preconceived notions about what it’s about or what’s going to happen. I will say this. M. Knight Shyamalan has made some pretty good movies in [...]
Today’s Circuits section in the New York Times has an item on a new, forthcoming flexible keyboard for popular PDAs from GrandTec USA.
The PocketVIK–for Virtually Indestructible Keyboard–is a rubbery see-through device, said to be spill- and stain- proof.
According to its web site, the firm plans models “for Pocket PC (iPAQ) and for Palm (m125, [...]
For about a month, pictures of a rumored new Palm model, code-named “Oslo”, originally found at a Thai Palm Users’ Group website, have been floating around, and people have been saying all sorts of things about it. This slightly odd-looking device is the first PalmOS 5 PDA I’ve seen, and seems to introduce a [...]
Planning with Agenda Fusion
5 August 2002
It’s all Jeff Mitchell’s fault, really. I was so spoiled by the organizational perfection of Shadow on PalmOS that none of the Pocket PC outliners I’ve tried quite measures up. ADB Idea is fast, but lacks project management features. Pocket Mindmap is better for brainstorming and general planning, but exporting [...]
Got my first hands-on look at the new Sony SL-10 today, and I really liked it.
The first thing you’ll notice about the SL-10 is the size. All the “unnecessary” vertical space from the T series Clies is gone, leaving a device that’s mostly screen, Graffiti area and– unlike the T series– good-size buttons.
The screen is [...]
Amid the explosion of fiction, nonfiction, reference, religious, and textbook e-books that have been appearing on palmtops over the last few years, one category of books seems to be conspicuously absent: the roleplaying game. I don’t mean the computer roleplaying games like Neverwinter Nights or Diablo, but the books that preceded them: games of social [...]
Josh Taylor over at ZD Net shares his experiences using the brand spanking new Pocket PC Phone Edition from T-Mobile (the phone company formerly known as VoiceStream and Deutsche Telekom). It’s the first-to-market cell phone/PDA combo with Microsoft’s new phone-enabled handheld operating system.
His take: “It’s still more Pocket PC than phone. And that, for me, [...]
Now that there’s so many voices on the site, I changed the layout a bit to make it obvious who wrote what. Does it work? Does it look stupid? Let me know!
If you input text into your PDA the old-fashioned way, checkout Marlof Bregonje’s great thread over at PocketPCThoughts on Pen/Stylus devices.
When it comes to searching for the ultimate Pen/stylus combo, I find myself doing the Goldilocks–not too small, not too large…
In places such as Staples, too many of the too few options are [...]
Slashdot is linking to an article about a creative use for the Sega Dreamcast…hacking into corporate networks from the inside. What makes this “on-your-Palm” is that the same folks also wrote such internal-intrusion software for the iPaq. Essentially, any small computing device—including handhelds—with the ability to connect to Ethernet can run software of this [...]
