    How Palm's OS Tried To Go From PDAs to Smartphones

    Palm OS Is Dead, Long Live Pre and Windows Mobile

    The Palm OS is a dead duck. Palm's CEO Ed Colligan has signed its death sentence today. But while there will be no more new Palm OS products, their Windows Mobile smarty-panty-phones will survive (!):

    Dealzmodo: Nokia N810 For $300

    The N810 WiMax edition may be hovering around out there, but who the hell is using WiMax? The specs on the original are not all that hot anymore, but this little internet tablet has never been cheaper at $300. [CompUSA]

    miBook PDA is for Ladies Doing Lady Things...WTF?!

    The miBook is a $130 PDA with a 7" screen that teaches skills to people through step-by-step videos and other multimedia. Now, we don't like to reinforce gender stereotypes, but the pictures of each $20 title in the gallery below, such as cooking, gardening and home decorating show a woman learning the job—all except the diaper changing lesson, which shows a man. It's sold without onboard memory, but they must think women are pretty stupid if they expect to charge $150 for 128MB. The rest of miBook's specs are gender neutral:UPDATE: That's a typo in the spec sheet, the 128MB memory is a much more reasonable $1.50, but it's for retailers only. More »

    Elektrobit Introduces Jack-Of-All-Trades Satellite Phone

    Elektrobit is bringing satellite phones to the masses with its new Satellite/Terrestrial Reference PDA Phone. Gone is the bulky antenna sported by satellite phones of yore, replaced with a sleek, qwerty-keyboard PDA look that's just a touch thicker than a Blackberry 8800. The concept product runs Windows Mobile 6.1 professional and contains a packed feature set—including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, VoIP, a touch screen, and a 3MP camera. More »

    Pencil-Pushing Census Bureau Dumps Portable Tech for Pencils

    To our friends at Treehugger, please look away as we report that the Census Bureau is ditching plans to go digital and will return to its sinful pencil-pushing, paper-crazy roots. Originally, the Bureau planned for workers to use 500,000 wireless handheld devices from Harris Corp. as a replacement for the paperwork used to collect information from Americans who do not respond to the census. The $1.3 billion program looked great on, well, paper, but was ultimately derailed by hardware issues and incompetence. More »

    PDA/Tablet Concept Babysits Old People

    Hey, old people have technological needs too. Or so this concept would have us believe. The idea behind this tablet/pda-ish device is that it uses RFID tracking technology toremind the elderly when to take their meds, when food in the refrigerator goes bad, and what to get at the store to meet nutritional requirements. But if my grandparents' foray into technology is any indication, this device would do nothing but baffle the elderly mind. [Yanko Design] More »

    nuvifone: Garmin Drops a Phone into the GPS

    Today in a surprise announcement in New York City, Garmin whipped out the nuvifone, a full-fledged GSM HSDPA smartphone built on its own operating system with GPS navigation at its core—but e-mail and web browsing close to its heart, and a camera built in too. No pricing or carrier announcement has been made yet, though its likeliest compatible network is AT&T given the technology. (When T-Mobile launches HSDPA, it too will be suitable, and possibly more attractive than AT&T.) More »

    iFolio Converts iPhone into Ultra-Light Laptop, So Light It Doesn't Exist

    With visions of the MacBook Air hovering tantalizingly before us, one designer took a page from the now-dead Palm Foleo and has docked the iPhone into a really barebones 12" chassis—essentially nothing more than a screen, keyboard and USB ports. Willy Yonkers, its creator, thinks that if you kept it simple it could sell for as little as $150. Too bad it's a pipe dream, even if it looks a bit fugly. [Willy Yonkers via Yanko Design]

    All Giz Wants isn't about wanting what we have now. It's about wanting what we should have now, what's technically possible but practically improbable. Here's an item I've been (wet) dreaming about for some time—a universal remote that's really universal. I don't mean to control both a Blu-ray player and an HD DVD player. I mean to control my TV, computer and the air popper. More »

    Palm's Black Friday Deals Clear Phoneless PDAs Out of the Warehouse

    Are you looking for a PDA that doesn't have a phone component? No? Neither is anyone else, which is why Palm is using Black Friday as an excuse to push some older merch out the door. Starting right now, you can score a Palm TX for $199 and a Tungsten E2 for $149. Not that they're bad deals, what with the TX sporting Wi-Fi and coming with a free wireless keyboard and the E2, uh, well, the E2 comes with a free hard case. Deals!!! [TX and E2 via Crave]

    Samsung Rolls Out Next-Gen WiMax Toys While We Wait and Wait

    So is Korea actually a country from the future, or what? We're asking because Samsung is now rolling out its second generation of phones, mobile devices and USB modems that support WiMax. Heck, the whole country has a WiMax network at their disposal, while here in the States we keep hearing about how Sprint wants to build out a WiMax network but just can't seem to get it started.

We've taken the liberty to fill in the gaps, so hit the jump for the exclusive, re-cut and uncensored versions of Apple's newest iPhone spots—and see what happens when Apple stops being polite, and starts getting real.

    Bluespamming Now A-OK in UK

    Bluespamming, otherwise known as Bluetooth spamming, otherwise known as "Oh, I have a message oh wait I don't," has just become extremely legal in the UK. While their Information Commissioners Office (ICO) has a set of guidelines for electronic consumer marketing that regulates spam flow (requiring users to "opt-in" to receive the marketing), they have just removed Bluetooth from their list of regulated communication mediums. So in other words, while a company may not be allowed to email you or send SMS text messages, they can bluespam you every block as you walk through a major city. The good news is that even the major advertising lobbies seem against the change, since surely it will reflect poorly upon them all. Read on for the legislation change in full. More »

    New Palm OS, 18 Months Around Corner. Too Late?

    As reported yeterday, Palm's upcoming OS is a ways out: 18 months to be specific. After Palm's unfulfilled tryst with the Foleo, engineers from that project have been moved to OS development. But all the same, engineers can't get the Linux-based project completed fast enough. So what do you think, readers? Will your heart still beat for Palm in 18 months? More »

    Asus Eee PC Gets Pricing and Release Date

    Asus' tiny Internet PC just got a little sweeter. The 7-inch handheld is rumored to be coming out this August for a mere $199. That's less than half the price of the Palm Foleo. There's even rumblings that future versions might have a 3G radio embedded. So between the Foleo and the NanoBook, the Eee PC still has the upper hand in my book. – Louis Ramirez More »

    General Dynamic's 2-pound Handheld is World's Most Rugged UMPC

    If Panny's new Toughbook is too big for your taste, General Dynamics today unveiled the GoBook MR-1, a pint-sized UMPC built to take a beating. The unit is essentially a repackaged FlipStart with a brushed aluminum cover, built-in WWAN, and an Intel Core Solo CPU. All this inside a 2-pound frame. But the smaller they are, the more they cost. The MR-1 will sell for $4,450 when it debuts this September. Personally, I'd save the cash and splurge on a souped-up ultraportable. – Louis Ramirez More »
