the rollout of the Windows 7 beta today, citing very heavy traffic on

have you seen the new Palm Pre?? pull-out QWERTY keyboard, the Palm
OS, and all the stuff that iPhone has. i'm actually regretting jumping
on the iPhone wagon. i still use my Palm Tungsten E for apps that
iPhone just doesn't do.
The only draw back to the Palm was not being able to multi task, but
I have not found Windows Mobile to be that great in it either.
1) The Palm Pre does multi-task.
2) I do not see the big deal about multi-tasking. The launch time for
Palm apps is very close to zero. A heck of a lot better

If I really needed very fast input I would carry a voice recorder, not a
PDA. You can then run that through voice recognition if you must.
YMMV
I was thinking about that. Do any of the PDAs or smartphones have voice
recording with voice recognition, converting voice to written text?
If anyone has done so, or is interested in doing so, I'd be interested what
people think about Evernote.com and Jott.com for ways to organize thoughts,

You are right. Do you know of any company that actually does this for
cell phone batteries?
Other batteries contain an aluminum

They do pop up. Some of them specialize in larger (Car, utility)
Others do remanufacture batteries for cell phones.

You are confusing different things here. There was no issue that had
anything to do with inefficiency in handling activation. There was an

For me it's not about swappable, it's about just MORE memory. Sure most
things i can fit in 8 gigs or 16 if i paid the big bucks. But it seems the
only reason to not include a memory slot on these devices is more about form
then function. I mean why not have the ability to add more storage?
Ugh, activation though in general with windows has had major problems. Many
have been refused when the keys and installs are legit...usually takes a
phone call to fix but the hassle is still there.
