You can read in full detail what the memory issues are all about in palmOne's KB article 35222. We assume the same upgrade would also be available for the Tungsten T5, which exhibits the same memory inefficiency problems we discussed earlier. What is interesting for now is that palmOne will make available a free 128MB SD expansion card to Treo 650 purchasers on request. Details on this free offer will become available in early December. We have currently no information whether this offer is also valid for current Tungsten T5 users. |

10:18 PM by ricmac in Miscellaneous | Introduce Yourself Hi all, I've been lurking at MobileRead for a few months now and posting every now and then. But now that my blog is featured on the MobileRead frontpage, I better introduce myself formally I have a Palm T2 currently and I use it mostly to read blogs offline, but also to read eBooks. I've just purchased my first eBook (although I've read several free ones). Up till recently I ran a blog called eBook Culture that was focused exclusively on eBooks. But I've now merged that with my main blog Read/Write Web. I write mostly about Web Technology on Read/Write Web, but writing and electronic publishing are two of my core interests. So expect to see lots more posts about eBooks on R/WW in future! I look forward to conversing with you all on MobileRead >>>> As Richard has some really awesome content on his site that's wonderfully tied to the subjects discussed at MobileRead.com on a daily basis, we've taken this opportunity to highlight his introduction here on our front page. I hope you'll take a moment to browse Read/Write Web. You'll probably find yourself placing it on your bookmarks list. And in the future, we look forward to having an occassional opportunity to share some of his writing on MobileRead, which I hope will both be a pleasure and a reminder for us all to keep an eye on his site.] |

While there have been some similar kinds of display technologies in the past, this comfortable headset is approaching practicality at an expected price of only about $400. Read more, see a video, and dream a little about the possibilities... (Via PC Magazine) |

Instead of just ignoring the scammers, she decided to fight back. Partly to waste their time and money, and partly to increase awareness of the kinds of scams going on. She wants to help others to be aware of their schemes and hopefully she'll reduce their effectiveness. But for us, it leaves a trail of funny exchanges with the money grubbing cheats. You can't help but cheer for them to waste money on expedited shipping costs to send their fake cashier's checks, and even to imagine their frustration when they find out they've been had and they don't get to steal anyone's money. You can find all the scoop here... http://www.bustedupcowgirl.com/scampage.html And as a bonus, if you are in the middle of an exchange with a scammer, you are even invited to call her for advice! |

In addition to the Treo Store in the Valley Fair mall, there are now 13 palmOne stores located in malls and airports nationwide that carry the full line of palmOne products and accessories. palmOne has reported sales through their existing retail stores have grown 595% year-over-year (Q1 FY04 to Q1 FY05), and they expect high traffic in the mall-based retail stores during this holiday season. palmOne also kicked off a new TV advertising campaign, with commercials highlighting the Treo line and Tungsten E , which are now airing in select US markets. Check 'em out at palmOneTV. |

02:17 PM by Alexander Turcic in Archive | Handhelds and Smartphones A guy named shadowmite released a 2-byte patch for those frustrated Sprint users who weren't able to use the Bluetooth Dial Up Networking (DUN) profile on their Treo 650. As a reminder: Sprint decided for unknown reasons to cripple the use of Bluetooth on the new Treo 650 for laptop Internet access. Now it is quite obvious that the reason was not of technical nature, otherwise how could it have been "fixed" by merely changing two bytes? Here is how to install the patched file (as explained by a Treocentral user): |
