I miss the eraserhead mouse pointer on my old Thinkpad. It’s so convenient for switching between typing and quickly using the mouse. If the laptop only has a trackpad, you have to move your whole hand to move the mouse. It’s annoying. With the eraserhead, you don’t even have to lift up your palm. Your [...]

Apple’s “There’s An App For That” campaign is so good that I expect apps for all kinds of things, and have actually been disappointed. I recently searched for these apps that don’t exist: IMDB — to add insult to injury, there isn’t a mobile version of the website. MSN/Bing Video — to watch The Guild. [...]
Calling it a netbook is an insult. It’s more appropriately called an affordable ultra-portable. That’s how I’d sum up the Aspire One 751h. This Crunchgear review of the Acer Aspire One 751h netbook is dead on. My experience jives completely with the review.

I wanted to get the Gmail app on my shiny new 680. (It’s actually not that shiny anymore since I’ve already dropped it. Still works great though!) There were a couple of issues. Not nearly as easy as setting it up on the E61. I’m disappointed in both Google and Palm. In any case, it’s [...]
I bought a Treo 680 for $345 shipped from eBay. I don’t really need it, especially since I just spent ~$400 on the E61 less than 6 months ago. I’ve never paid for a phone before buying the unlocked E61. I don’t know what’s come over me. Two expensive, unlocked phones in the last 6 [...]
