Zakai recently posted a FAQ on his website that runs through the reasons why this OS will rock the PDA world and will even make people wonder why they can't have something like this on their desktop. 225@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-10-15T22:17:46-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/09/palm_os_cobalt_61.html Just saw this news from a link at 1SRC. The Register has some information on Palm OS Cobalt 6.1 that will be released for some upcoming smartphones. For some reason Cobalt 6.0 still hasn't been released on an actual device yet, but hopefully the Tungsten T5 will come with it. 208@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-09-28T08:03:17-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/07/jackito_tactile_digital_assistant.html The Jackito is a device that has been announced at a number of websites. One such news story was this one at Brighthand. This device is not a PDA as the company that makes it says. It's a 'TDA', Tactile Digital Assistant. Why is this? You don't use a stylus, you use your oily fingers to touch the screen. The website for this product has a lot of good to say, such as "7 parallel processors" and all kinds of features such as a color screen, high-sound quality, wireless capabilities and weeks or use on a single AA battery. But, is it a lot of talk, or is there any truth behind this greatness? 186@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-07-22T10:05:13-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/06/cliesource_has_combined_with_palmonecity_to_form_1src.html My home on the web, ClieSource is no longer. With the news of Sony suspending the Clie line, it was decided that something would need to be done with the Cliesource website as it would die eventually. 157@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-06-02T10:03:34-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/06/sony_to_stop_producing_clies.html Big news in the PDA world today is that Sony is announcing that they do not have any plans to continue making Clie devices in the future. The way they are wording the announcement is that they might consider producing them again in the future, but not anytime soon. It appears that Sony is trying to streamline their operations and that would only make sense to discontinue at least the Clie or their smartphone line since the two products compete with each other in many ways. And the smartphone market has a much better sales potential. 156@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-06-01T09:17:21-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/03/smbmate_freeware.html This is a freeware app for Palm that allows you to access SMB shares (SMB is the protocol Windows and some other systems use for file sharing). This software has been purchased by Hands High Software and will only be available commercially in the future, but this version is distributed under a freeware license so is free to use and further distribute. 134@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-03-31T22:45:07-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/03/mmplayer_divx_on_my_clie_is_even_better_now.html I had wrote a couple of posts in the past about playing Divx on Palm PDA's: Divx playback for Clie's! Divx Playback Update At the time when I wrote those, Divx support was brand new on Clie's. Things have changed since then. There have been some updates to the MMPlayer app that made it possible. But the biggest change happened within the last couple of weeks. Fellow ClieSource member CliePet was able to accomplish an amazing task. He figured out a way to access the high quality audio system that is built in to the OS5 Clies. 133@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-03-31T12:12:08-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/03/bozidar_benc_passed_away_age_47.html In very sad news, Bozidar Benc, one of the most revolutionary programmers for the Palm platform has passed away. He was the creator of apps such as Launcher III and Launcher X and was basically the man who created the modern launcher that apps such as ZLauncher have been based on. 128@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-03-25T09:18:34-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/02/atari_retro_game_for_sale.html I have just listed an Atari Retro card for sale on EBay. It's an MMC card and works in any Nokia Series 60 phone (except the 7650) and works on Windows Mobile (Pocket PC) 2002 machines and up with SD card slots. Also works on all the PalmOne OS5 models. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on the Clie since Sony had to use the Memory Stick. This item will be listed until about this time on Sunday. 102@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-02-17T14:24:07-05:00 http://www.cbulock.com/2004/02/ed_hardy_reviews_cobalt_sounds_disappointing.html I was just reading this article about the upcoming Cobalt OS and I have to say that I am somewhat disappointed. PalmSource didn't add the updated GUI. I didn't mind that so much as long as they were too busy getting everything else working. 92@http://www.cbulock.com/ 2004-02-12T16:36:55-05:00
