Today at CES, Palm unveiled its new smartphone: the Pre, running webOS (formerly code-named Nova). The Pre has a 320×480 high-resolution touchscreen display, built-in 3G/GPS/WiFi/Bluetooth, a 3 mega-pixel camera, 8gb of user storage (the most on any Palm handheld ever), an accelerometer (for screen rotation), and the Treo’s familiar keyboard (it slides down from under …
I manage a lot of AT&T mobile phones at work, mainly Treos (plus a few Centros) and Windows Mobile devices like the Tilt. Starting about a month ago, the Treo users (myself included) started having data coverage issues. Areas of the office that were fine before were suddenly dead zones and phones would drop data …

I’m a long-time Palm user: I’ve owned four different Palm OS devices over the past 12 years from the original Pilot 1000 to my Treo 680. Palm is finally starting to do some advertising, and the latest round of Santa’s Gone Centro videos are pretty funny. I’m looking forward to CES next week as Palm …

Next week I’ll be taking a road trip vacation up the east coast which means a lot of time in the car. I thought it would be cool to be able to use my Eee PC in conjunction with my Treo 680’s data connection to get on the ‘net while (literally) on the road (instead …
I bought a Corsair 2gb Flash Padlock last August after hearing Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte talk about it on the Security Now! podcast (episode #106). I use it primarily for shuttling files back and forth between my home and work computers (in a TrueCrypt container), but have also configured it as a bootable device …
After starting out in the Palm camp back in 1996, then switching to Pocket PC and hp’s iPAQ line in 2001, I’m now a Palm user again. I got a Palm Treo 650 through work, and I love it … finally I don’t have to carry my PDA, cell phone, and G100 (e-mail device). I’ve …
I’m a long-time PDA user. I got my first Pilot 1000 back in 1996, then eventually upgraded to the Palm III. Over the summer of 2001 I left the Palm world for the Pocket PC, or Windows Mobile as it’s referred to now. My first iPAQ was the 3135 (black-and-white version) and then I inherited …
