PalmOne Posts Temporary T5 Calendar Workaround |
10:54 AM by Bob Russell in Archive | Handhelds and Smartphones PalmOne has indeed posted a workaround on its support FAQs for the Tungsten T5. Not a great workaround, but it's good to know they are addressing the issue. They also indicate a patch is being developed. I believe the "announced" release date is in November, so by the time it's officially available, it may be fixed. I've seen no word yet on the other reported issues, but this small sign is all we true Palm fans need for some hope to be rekindled. Hope for the T5 and for the future of PalmOne and PalmOS! You can see the FAQ contents at PalmOne or at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...0601#post10601 |

Dell Axim X50/X50v official brochure |
03:14 AM by Colin Dunstan in Archive | Handhelds and Smartphones PocketFactory leaked out the official color brochure of the new Axim X50/X50v, which is set to launch today. You can download it from here (PDF). With a 624Mhz CPU, a 3.7" VGA 640x480 display, plus WiFi and Bluetooth, the Axim X50v looks like the perfect PDA to me ATM Update: The X50v is available for $499 at Dell's website, not a bad price I think. Bad news: Dell is listing the estimated shipping date as the 11/17. |
