I am posting this with my LAN connection unplugged and WiFi disabled. And no, I am not using a dial-up connection. This is 3G at work. Cingular has just rolled out 3G coverage in parts of the country, and so of course I replaced by GPRS card with a new HSDPA/UMTS EDGE/GPRS card (a Sierra Wireless...
My computer started acting up today. The first indication that something was wrong was when POP mail requests started throwing strange error codes (SMTP and Exchange mail worked, just POP was failing). And then FTP transfers started retry lots of random packets. The only change I made to my...
I received a package from Palm this morning. It contained a little plastic SIM card tray to replace the one in the top of my Treo 650. As per the accompanying note: Palm has learned that some SIM cards may not fit tightly enough in the SIM tray provided with the Treo 650 product. As a result, the...
There is a new Treo update out for Cingular users. This was not a painless update to install. In fact, it took several failed tries and multiple hard resets, so be sure you have a good backup before upgrading. The good news: Amongst the enhancements in version 1.17 is improved Bluetooth support,...
In case you are one of the many who doubted the authenticity of last week's Engadget post about a Windows based Treo, this press release should set the record straight (and check out the banner on the Palm homepage ). But, and this part is troubling, the press release refers to a CDMA device. I am...
Engadget got their hands on a Treo 700w , w as in Windows Mobile powered. The big question for me is, will this mean more or less spontaneous reboots? From a feature perspective, this looks a little weak, essentially a 650 with a new OS. Still, will be worth a look at.
There is an Treo 650 firmware update out for Cingular users (including former AT&T Wireless customers). The good news is that the update itself is a painless process, and all apps and settings were restored properly (all I lost were Bluetooth pairings, but the docs did warn that that would...
David Berlind has blogged the pains he had to go through to get dial-up networking via Bluetooth so as to be able to use his cellphone as a network connection for his computer. I must confess that when I went through the same steps getting my old Sony Ericsson phone to work as a DUN it was nowhere...
The Innovative House (IHOUSE) has a mission of: to offer the last word in high-tech solutions for homes, apartments and hotels. Be it the Smart Shower (a "hot and cold water mixer with digital computerized controls that allow precise regulation of both water temperature and pressure" where a "voice...
I have been wearing Bluetooth headsets for, well, about as long as they have been available. My favorite have been the Sony Ericsson HBH series, but my HBH-60 died (well, the battery did, and it can't be replaced) so it was time for a new one. I do not like the Plantronics and Jabra headsets, they...
