I have finally got the i550 to do just about everything that I want or need it to do: It’s working perfectly on the Sprint PCS network and I’ve signed up for the Vision plan so I have all of the data I care to access. It is working very well as a supplementary PDA,

Last year I reviewed a Victorinox knife that was equipped with a detachable 64MB SwissBit USB memory module. I was recently sent a major upgrade to what I had already determined was an excellent product.

I’ve always been a huge fan of very small computers and have had several such devices throughout the years. A few notable ones come to mind… Remember the REX PC Companion?
