I noticed an offer from Treocentral today for a $99 Treo 600 which as you might expect comes with at least one string attached. In order to get the deal, you have to sign up for a new plan with Cingular for 2 years. If you are an existing Cingular customer, you are not welcome … Read moreWhat’s the right cell phone term length?
More of a see if it can be done kind of project, but Kevin Rose modified the mini to run as a PC. Kind of looks like an over-stuffed pig if you ask me. Quite a few sacrifices had to be made to fit the pre-production mobo from Via in there… I’ll take the mini … Read moreMac mini with VIA mini ITX
Powerbook G5 lusting begins….
Cingular is making it tough to choose them as a new carrier if the rumors are true about Bluetooth DUN being disabled on the Treo 650.

I want EDGE, but … Read moreTreo from Cingular or T-Mobile?

This just in via The Register. Perhaps a “Location Free” collaboration with Sony via the MacWorld Connection? Love to see any iteration of the Tablet idea coming out of Apple. Apple has filed for a European design trademark which may provide a tantalising glimpse of the company’s long-awaited tablet computer. The filing, made in May … Read moreApple’s Home Entertainment Tablet?
I have no idea how it happened, but the 512MB SD card from my Treo popped out at some point yesterday and seems to be lost forever in the Blizzard of 2005.

Looks like a bit of sweat and a putty knife is all it takes to open the Mac Mini….
Good thing it’s free… though waiting 5 hours to copy a 1 hour program on your network hardly justifies the service. I’ll be interested in reading more when more people connect and we get some public feedback with how well wired ethernet works. In short, TivoToGo isn’t really usable for me unless I seriously plan … Read moreTivoToGo a NoGo?
An interesting addition…though I wonder how many people will want to listen to games after most likely watching them on TV. The National Football League (NFL) and Audible Inc. on Tuesday announced that audio broadcasts of the AFC and NFC championship games and the Super Bowl will be made available through Audible.com for compatible MP3 … Read moreNFL to offer game play-by-play for iPod
Mac Mini colocation… starting at $29.99 which seems like a great low-cost way to get your (virtual) hands on a Mac Mini.

The WSJ (sub required) has an interesting piece of the pending board meeting of Cablevision and the future status of Voom. While Voom is the clear leader in HD content, it has yet to attract enough customers to make it a viable business risk for the Cablevision parent.
