I took my Newton MP2000 with me to a family Christmas gathering this past weekend. It sure came in handy with keeping a 13yr old boy and 6yr old girl occupied. They had never seen a Newton before and figured out how to use it very quickly. They both kept fighting over who could play […]

Casio was one of the first companies to release a Palm-size PC and they are also one of the first companies to release an upgraded model. Without any fanfare, the E-10 silently disappeared leaving the E-11 in its place. The main difference between the E-10 and new E-11 is the addition of 4mb of RAM

I just received a Pilot clip on modem the other day. I loaded Proxiweb on it. Proxiweb is an EXCELLENT web browser for the PalmPilot / Palm III. This software is very fast even at 14.4k. I think it’s faster than my 400mhz Dell desktop and 56k modem! These guys should write a PC browser!
