Automatic Gmail invite spooler |
03:46 PM by ignatz in Miscellaneous | Lounge Gmail is only barely invite only these days and pretty much everyone who wants an invite has one. But if you still need one head over to isnoop and add your name to the list. And if you have extra invites, send them to gmail@isnoop.net and they will be added to the pile. Good idea, as lord knows we can hardly give away invites anymore... |

Toshiba e830 released: but not in the US!?! |
02:35 PM by ignatz in Archive | Handhelds and Smartphones Pocket PC Thoughts is reporting that the new VGA Toshiba e830 has been released in Japan and the EU but will not be released in the US at this time!

Why would this huge market be skipped over? |

Sunrise 0.3.1 released |
12:31 PM by Laurens in Archive | Sunrise I just released Sunrise 0.3.1. You can now invoke "Send to Sunrise" from within Internet Explorer. I don't use IE as my main browser, but indirectly I use it through FeedDemon, which uses IE as an embedded control. I can now read news articles and immediately send them to Sunrise! This version also adds support for basic authentication. This lets you access password-protected sites. |

New Sony Multimedia Clie: PEG-VZ90 |
09:31 AM by Colin Dunstan in Archive | Portable Audio/Video Sony Clie's are not dead yet. At least in Japan. The Register brings the news: Sony unveils Wi-Fi multimedia Clie.
The sad part: It is very unlikely that we'll see a non-Japanese version of this device (it is probably no news to you that Sony has abandoned the US and the European PDA markets). Update 1: If you happen to understand Japanese, you can visit the PEG-VZ90 product page and read Sony's official press-release. |
