Updated with Day 2
This year, Microsoft changed things up and decided to hold two Mobius events back to back. The first one was held in Thailand, and the second one here in the US. Typically, the events here in the US have always been held in Seattle, WA., near Microsoft’s Redmond headquarters. But this year they opted for Boston, MA. Lucky for me, I was invited to the Boston event. This meant a short 2hr flight, instead of 4-5 hours to Seattle.

This morning at 5:30, I was awakened by a call from Steve telling me that Sarah had shaved several seconds off her events at her just completed varsity swimming time trials! I hate that I missed them, but talking to Steve and then Sarah made it almost as good as being there. Yay Sarah, I

Everyone sing along with me… “Back home again… in Indianaaaaaa….” Yes, I’m back in good old boring Columbus, Indiana. Yay! I love New York City, but it’s sure nice to get back to my quiet house with deer in the yard and coyotes in the woods (yes, I saw 2 coyotes about 2 weeks ago).

Most of the time, I find that the i-mate JasJar’s 1620mAh factory
original battery is sufficient to make it through a typical day.
However when I am using the built-in wireless extensively, when I
am traveling, or when I am not able to recharge at some point
during the day, I have noticed a definite need for a backup power
solution. That’s why I was very interested to learn that Lion
Battery was carrying a 4800mAh Mugen Power Battery replacement for
the HTC Universal / i-mate JasJar.

Remember when I said that I wasn’t very excited about the DualCor cPC? Well, I changed my mind this past weekend when I was trying to decide what gear to take with me on my vacation to NYC next week. I knew I didn’t want to drag along my Powerbook, because I’m testing out the

The first time I saw pictures of the Nokia N80 back when it was
announced, I was thrilled. As soon as I saw the laundry list of
features, I knew I had to have it! I already had a Treo 650 with
Sprint, but the software was sometimes buggy and Sprint worked
poorly at my house. In the middle of July, I got a chance to leave
my Sprint contract without the termination fee, so I immediately
opened an account with T-Mobile and ordered a new N80 from
eBay.

Unpacking the DualCor cPC Engineering Sample… Nothing is going to jostle this baby! The treasure chest… I am sure that the final version box will be quite glossy – with photos of some self-satisfied user smiling as they hold their cPC. Hey this was unexpected! A Rhinoskin cPC branded pouch…nice! My long-awaited cPC and it’s

I was offered the opportunity to buy an “Engineering Sample” of the DualCor cPC today, and I jumped on it – you had better believe it! Consumer models will not be shipping for another 90-120 days, and as most of you know, I have been eager (understatement!) to try this device since its announcement early

Over a year and a half ago in December 2004, the much anticipated Treo 650 smartphone arrived on the market. This first model was a CDMA version from Sprint, but several months later a GSM version and then a version from Verizon also became available. Since its release, the 650 has become the most popular smartphone (combination PDA / mobile phone) device on the market. Time has not stood still for Palm. Their latest smartphone is the 700p. Should 650 owners pony up to buy this upgraded model, or should they keep their cash and wait for something with more revolutionary features, instead of evolutionary?
