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 [...]

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 [...]

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’ve actually got an unlocked Treo 650 on order so I don’t have to worry too much, but damn, corporate politics easily effect consumer decisions.
I want EDGE, but [...]

Droxy reports on the rumblings of a possible merger between XM and Sirius. I think this would be a great move by both companies and would make it easy to choose Satellite radio. Today there are two choices that are not compatible which can make a serious difference in how you go with [...]

It’s just the start (no clips just yet) but Google delivers video!
Hot Damn! Google has just unveiled Video Search!!! It looks like Blinkx TV has got some competition now. But there’s one catch… there are no viewable video clips available, just screenshots. However, it’s inferred that they will be enabled in the near future. One [...]

Palminfocenter reports the release of a Palm compatible driver for the ThinkOutside Bluetooth Keyboard. I had an original keyboard for my Vx with Omnisky and recall it being quite good… this makes traveling light and staying highly connected all the easier.
ThinkOutside has quietly posted a Palm OS compatible driver for the company’s latest [...]

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 [...]

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. If it ever surfaces, someone will be lucky enough to have pictures of my family, some ebooks locked to my eReader account, [...]

According to this piece at The Times Online, you would certainly believe it to be the case…
Julian Hewitt, senior partner at Ovum, a telecoms consultancy, said: “From a telecoms perspective there is a big appeal in the fact that Google is a search operation — and of course the Google brand is a huge draw.”

Mr [...]

In what has to be one of the more idiotic PR moves of current times, palmOne requested that Andrew at Treonauts remove the pictures of the GSM Treo 650 he was able to test out earlier in the week.
We’re very sad that we are no longer able to bring you (huge understatement) the first [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Mac Mini colocation… starting at $29.99 which seems like a great low-cost way to get your (virtual) hands on a Mac Mini. It easily runs headless and can be fully administered through either VNC or Apple Remote Desktop. Not a bad way to get a Mac Mini serving your needs with some dedicated [...]

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. It’s actually pretty amazing they [...]
