We’ve been receiving quite a few emails asking about the review of the Sony CLIE NX70. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings folks, but there isn’t going to be one. I sent mine back without even opening the box. After having just purchased the Tungsten T, I had buyers remorse and decided that […]

My friend Alex Kac just sent notice that v3.4 is now avaiable for his great PPC program, Pocket Informant. He says that some of the improvements include: “Hierarchical Task support, …perrformance improvements and a lot of UI improvements as well as little improvements in a lot of places.” If you haven’t yet checked this PIM

The name is Smarty-pants, Judie Smarty-pants. My weapon of choice? The Town Compass DataViewer and as many of the various databases they have available that I can possibly fit on my Tungsten | T’s 256MB memory card! Go ahead, ask me who John Brown Russwurm was (a co-starter of the fist US newspaper to be

These are of some of the more impressive software titles I have been trying out lately: Diet Assistant – If you want to keep a handle on your holiday pounds, give this program a try. Not only does it feature a fun GUI that just makes you want to use it, it also features user

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always liked reviews with LOTS of pictures. But you want to know what’s even better? An actual video review! Omar Saeed of JustPPC.com fame has created another website called JustSeeit.com with reviews of non Pocket PC products. His video reviews are fun to watch and provide great insight!

Have just returned from 2 full days at COMDEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. Saw some interesting, exciting, and wacky things at the convention. A report with pics will be posted friday. Stay tuned!

Julie and I are getting ready to head to COMDEX tomorrow…I can’t wait to see what new gadgets and gizmos the electronics powers-that-be will have on display. We should have plenty to talk about – hopefully we can post something every day while we are there…

For some reason, the gadget gods are not looking favorably upon me… When last we left me, I had received an email (last Thursday) from Dell saying that my NX70V order was delayed until 11/22. Not wanting to wait that long, I canceled the order and reordered with OnlineMicro. They said they would ship it

I received an email notice yesterday from Dell (Judie did also), that my Sony CLIE NX70V order will be delayed until 11/22. I didn’t feel like waiting that long, so I canceled the order and re-ordered from Online Micro. After ordering, I got a phone call that they wouldn’t have a new batch until today

Steve and I are in Houston this week, learning about treatment options for appendicial carcinoma at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Can I just say right now that without a PDA loaded with plenty of e-books, there is no way I could make it through all of the constant waiting. I am a bit bummed because

UPDATE Tungsten T and Zire: They both finally arrived today. I’ve been playing with them this evening. I’m really having fun with the T. My initial impressions is that I really like it. It feels very fast compared the Zayo Pocket PC which I’ve been using for the past month and a half. Time will

This week has been an a total exercise in frustration! Monday I order the Tungsten T and Zire from the Palm Store with overnight shipping. Tuesday I receive a shipping confirmation email and expect them to be delivered Wednesday. Wednesday comes, no units arrive. [I’m getting slightly irritated…] Later that day I call FedEx and
