02:34 PM by Alexander Turcic in Miscellaneous | Announcements Our Internet provider is currently facing a malicious DDoS attack. They're working to mitigate the issue, both at our network, and with assistance from Internap. The DDOS attack has made our switch become unresponsive at this moment. We have lost connectivity at around 1:50 PM. No ETA as to when this can be resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience. |

The predictions were pretty much dead-on: hires, OS 5, Bluetooth, swappable battery, better camera, flash memory. Even though this is just an incremental update, I can see this model becoming a big success. Bluetooth is pretty much essential here in Europe (often cited as one of the reasons why the Treo 600 has not been as successful as it has been in the US). I hope PalmOne will have the manufacturing problems sorted out, so they can supply them in greater numbers. Anyone planning on buying the 650? Or are MobileRead members allergic to SmartPhones? Personally, I will hold off until SmartPhones with OS6 arrive next year. Apparently, Samsung is working on one, but I hope PalmOne will also come out with their upgrade. |

The bad news is that my feed creator script breaks due to the layout changes of PalmGear. You will now receive the message FeedLiquifier/2.00: parsing failed. Contact me at Mobileread.com with the name of the feed and the time it occured. when trying to parse either https://www.mobileread.com/feeds/pgupdated_rss20.xml or I promise I will have them updated in a couple of hours, after I have done some other important things. |

Wired tested a $40, high-capacity, 2,100 mAh replacement iPod battery from Newer Technology and confirms that Replacing the battery yourself is the way to go. It's half the price of getting someone else to do it, and very easy to do. |
