Yay! I just finished the T615C review and I’m now going to go collapse (less than 5hrs and I get up for work)! Next review in line is the Handspring Treo which I received yesterday but have barely looked at.

Thursday, I will be leaving with the family for Spring Break in Hawaii. I was trying to decide what items to take with me for the trip, because I actually do plan on writing a review or two while I am gone. The Crumpler “Gent” bag I recently received was an easy choice, as it

I have received word that I should have my Toshiba Pocket PC early this week… YAY! Give me at least a week or two to use it, and then I will let y’all know what I think about it. I can remember that I was very impressed with the Toshiba’s size plus the fact that

Hey folks! I just ran home at lunch to retrieve my Treo! It’s going thru the initial battery charge right now. I’m having new toy overload, what with the T615C, now the Treo, and sometime this week the Toshiba e570. T615C review will hopefully be posted tonight…. if not, definately tomorrow. Treo review should be

Perhaps you might remember (from Julie’s and my CES 2002 article) that Todd with pawgo was kind enough to give us some samples of his null-modem adapters. In case you are unfamiliar with what a this product can do, here is the description straight from the pawgo site: “These handy Adapters let you connect your

Just wanted to give everyone an update: I received a brand new Casio E-200 via UPS overnight delivery yesterday. I did not get a label to return my defective unit, but for such fast service, I’ll make some allowances. ;0) Thanks again to Melissa with Casio for expediting my claim; she was the saving grace

Take a look at what my friend Ellen sent me…it’s definitely giggle worthy. ;0) She sent it with this note: “My apologies, but this is the sort of thing that happens when I’m at home, bored, the girls are playing while I’m goofing off at my computer, waiting for my next software contract to be

Guess what? I’m totally in love with this new blue T615C Sony Clie! So far there is only one thing that I don’t like about it. Sorry, I’m not going to tell you what it is. You must wait for the review later next week! I will say that this device has me seriously considering

Here is an update on the continuing Pocket Informant v.3 evolution… Alex sent me PI beta 7 the other morning. This is an almost complete product, and it is just about bug-free! I haven’t run into any real glitches with it yet, and I am really giving it a workout. Be sure to check out

FYI: My Blue T615C arrived late today! It’s still charging (it takes 4hrs!!! ugh!). I can’t wait to actually play with it in about 2hrs.

Are you ready for a rant? Yah, I thought so… Well, as most of you are aware, the Casio E-200 has been my “Daily Driver” for a while, but right now I am a bit upset with the company that puts it out. This morning, I was greeted with a burned out backlight and the

Well drats… I guess I didn’t order the Clie with overnight shipping afterall. UPS tracking shows it being delivered on wednesday (2/20). In the now immortal words of Judie: “What were you thinking?!” Oh well… In other news, my 3800 iPAQ took a trip to hard reset land thursday night. At this point, I’m so

Yay! I just received an email from Sony Style telling me that my Blue Clie T615C has shipped! I ordered it with overnight shipping, but I bet I won’t get it till monday… I can’t wait to give it a good going over!

Pocket PC users, have you ever wished you could set volume levels for your alarms independently from the system volume setting? Or how about getting back repeating alarms in PPC 2002? And, how about having the ability to wakeup to your favorite MP3 tune? If so, you need to check out SuperAlert from Whittaker Moore.

Well, Alex has done it again! This morning I was surprised with the latest pre-release version of Pocket Informant 3.0. This has got to be one of the most feature rich PIM programs available, and it just keeps getting better. One of my only complaints with PI in the past was that it seemed to

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to finish and post the i705 review tonight. I am a little under the weather… I will definitely post it tomorrow though. In other news, I’ve placed an order for the Treo (with keyboard). I’m really excited to get this cell phone replacement!

Tonight I have a dinner with some of my sorority’s alumnae. Of this group of ladies, there are two that use a Palm IIIc and both seem to really like them. There is one that used to use a Palm III, but she gave up on it and went back to pen and paper. Among

Guess what? I splurged and bought the Palm i705 today! It’s charging right now… I hope to put it through its paces tomorrow and start on a review to be posted on thursday or next monday if real life intrudes on my plans. :o)

I think I have found my next Pocket PC…300 MHz, up to 14hr Li Polymer Battery, transreflective 16-bit color screen, accepts CF Type I and II cards and a SD slot at the left side of the unit, supports Bluetooth thanks to an onboard chip, minuscule jog-dial wheel on the left side of the device,
