I’ve long had a “holy grail” of sorts with mobile computing. Back in the day, in my first stint with Palm OS (1997-2000), I had a recurring problem. I was just starting to put internet content on my Clié, and all too often I would format the content for reading on the device later (via [...]

Over at Writing On Your Palm, I’m about to start another article series, this one called “Going Wireless.” I’m going to cover everything I can do to do away with syncing or being tied down to any particular set of hardware, from hosted Exchange to music and podcast streaming to keeping the latest drafts of [...]

From Ars Technica:
An attorney for Microsoft, Bonnie MacNaughton, said that “our own intellectual property was stolen from us and used to create this tool,” adding that Microsoft believes FairUse4WM’s developer seemed to have had an advantage over other hackers to crack the DRM.
However, when asked for a response to Microsoft’s allegations, Viodentia claims [...]

Conduits released Pocket Player 3 today, the latest iteration of what I think is the best podcast player for Windows Mobile. It’s a heck of an upgrade, and is just about good enough to completely replace the anemic Windows Media Player Mobile on my trusty 6700. But as with so many things, it falls just [...]

This is a weird one. I’ve decided to stop carrying my Palm Universal IR Keyboard, even uninstalling the driver from my 6700. Why? So I’ll write more.
Lemme esplain. For some time now, I’ve been carrying the keyboard around in my back pocket so that when the opportunity arises, I can get some writing done. Between [...]

Always nice to get some front page face time. If you haven’t picked it up yet, Unification Chronicles #5 is available for sale. Just because I can’t resist quoting it (it’s one of my favorite scenes so far), here’s the excerpt:
Gosnell leaned forward, his jowly flesh lapping over his collar. “Major Killian, you didn’t get along [...]

iLauncher 3.0 tips the balance of power away from Pocket Plus. Here’s why.
Dangit, I was all set. I’d narrowed down my Today screen modules to just a handful, picking the best from SBSH, Spb Software House and other companies. It all worked, and worked well.
Then SBSH upgraded iLauncher.
The new 3.0 version is a huge [...]

Just days after I post about picking Spb Pocket Plus over iLauncher because Pocket Plus has things like a popup task manager, safe mode, etc. SBSH releases iLauncher 3.0, which sees Pocket Plus on task management and safe mode, and raises screen capture functionality and speeddial shortcuts.
I’ll install it today and write up my [...]

Josh is concerned about me. After last week’s marathon series of articles on WOYP while dealing with all the freaking problems at work, he’s afraid that I’m going to flame out and drop fiction for a while.
Part of me wants to, I’d be lying to say otherwise. But more than that, I’m strangely energized. I [...]

I didn’t make it to this year’s Möbius confernce, and now I’m concerned about those that did.
There seems to be a military coup in progress in Bangkok. My thoughts go out to my fellow web pundits flying into harm’s way.
Keep your heads down, guys.
