So there’s all kinds of talk that Palm is putting itself on the block, looking for someone to put it out of it’s misery. Seems, people are reporting that Palm while profitable now has seen the iPhone writing on the wall and wants to get out while the gettings good. To me, this sounds perfectly [...]

So the big news for palm is that they’ve released the same phone again!! This time they’ve only added 5 to the model number, which is pretty low, I think - I probably would have added a lot more maybe 60 or 72 and come up with an 810 or 822. But I guess [...]

Ok, remember last season’s project runway? Remember Michael Knight (the designer not Kitt’s less talented partner)? Well he’s got this site up for Starbucks where you can make a custom graphic based on the customized drink of your choice! Apparently there were free t-shirts at one time, but no more.

Flaming ice. That’s right, ice. On fire. That’s some cool stuff. I guess there’s ice that contains methane all trapped up in some lattice. BP is looking at these to see if they can find a new source of natural gas in Alaska. Not too many details, I hope it doesn’t involve too much destruction [...]

They assure us that no president or ex-pres will be featured until they’ve been dead 2 years. [...]

It seems to be the time of palm hating! Does that mean the contrarian view will prevail and palm will actually pull out of it’s nose dive? Well, my hope springs eternal.
Here we have an article on palm’s irrelevance, that begins by referring to another article on the lack of any outrage at all when [...]

I guess timing is everything, Roughly Drafted just posted an article about Palm’s incompetence. This complements my previous post on palm and the treo and how awful palm is. It’s a more in depth look at the history of palm and an interesting comparison of Palm and Apple, which seems surprisingly good and true.

Let me start this off by saying my Treo 650 is the best gadget I have ever bought. To clarify “best”, it is the gadget that made me instantly forget how I could possibly have gotten along in life without it - it is a completely indespensible tool for me. I love my treo - [...]
