04:16 AM by Alexander Turcic in Miscellaneous | Lounge Nearly 100 million PCs are likely to be replaced this year, with 120 million being swapped out in 2005, according to data research firm Gartner released Thursday. Gartner analysts said more than 30 percent of installed PCs are now at least three years old. Many of those machines run older versions of Windows operating systems, for which full technical support may not be available. This, they said, will play a major role in pushing sales of replacements. Strong economic growth in the United States, the Asia-Pacific region and Japan is also likely to boost sales of new PCs.

What is the marketing strategy behind this name change by PDM's mother company PowerByHand? PowerByHand owns PalmGear.com, Palm Digital Media.com, PocketGear.com, and Power Training, and - this one is new - eReader.com. eReader.com is a web-based store, which leads me to believe that Palm Digital Media is soon no more. eReader.com V2.5.0 changelog: |

Our prime question: Is Sony's new music player good enough to trump the iconic Apple iPod? What I personally dislike most: You have to convert your MP3s to Atrac 3 first before porting them to the device. Since both formats are based on lousy-compression, you can expect some loss in sound quality when transferring from one to the other. |

From my experience, though, I recommend that you wait a couple of builds longer, because Iambic likes to release buggy software. You can download Agendus Pro directly from here. |

The goal of the PDPal experience is to use mobility and networks as a mediating and recording device that reactivates our everyday actions, transforming them into a dynamic portrait of our urban experience: we write our own cities. The term "PDA" connotes a personal assistant, and therefore PDPal would be one of the first projects to transform the accessory construct of PDA's into a group and personal experience. PDPal's software will be available for update and download via the web or kiosk. The kiosks will use existing beaming devices and software by hi-beam (currently in use on Creative Time's public Beaming Network around New York City). You can also find some more info here. The project seems to be in the works, but looks definitely unique |
