Another Treo 700p video review

If you're like me, and can't get enough information on the Treo 700p check out this video review . It's part 1 of their review. Tomorrow will focus on "How the 700p and the Sprint network is going to make your life that much more convenient". He said that, not me ;)

Boxwave ClearTouch Crystal

Ctc_glass_invisible_hires_1

I got the Boxwave ClearTouch Crystal screen protector today that I purchased just a few days ago! I just now put it on my Palm Tungsten T3 and it looks great! As I've mentioned many times, I swear by Boxwave's screen protectors! They're easy to apply and they look sooooooo great! Check out this cool photo above that is on Boxwave's website. My screen protector would look that good on my T3 if I would have taken my time and hadn't been in such a hurry to get it on there! It looks really good but in my haste, I let a few fibers attach themselves to the sticky side. ;-) I did the one on my TX perfect and it's as clear as "Crystal"! Thanks for making those great screen protectors Boxwave! Me and my Palm devices appreciate it!!!!

Use the Treo 650 again Jack!

Well, tonight is the 2 hour season finale of my favorite show "24"! I hope that Jack Bauer will use his Palm Treo 650 tonight to once again fight crime! I don't think he's used it in the last couple of episodes. I'll be glued to my tv screen hoping to catch a glimpse of that beautiful Treo tonight! Come on Jack, use that Treo again and show us what it can do!!!!

Aquapack review

So, as you may understand the sea is an important part of my life. But when being in the sea is a joint blessing for humans (you can swim, but you can also drown), the sea is really not a blessing at all for gadgets. That's where Aquapac becomes important. Ever had the fear of losing your cell phone, pda, camera etc. in the water. Not anymore! Not only is the Aquapac shut tight so no water can come into it, it also floats. So if you’re unfortunate enough to drop your gadget into the water, you can easily pick it up again.

I can even use my Treo regularly, both for pda use and for talking. (it is actually little/no reduction of the sound both into and out from the Treo)

At 16.99 £, it is not too expensive either.
(Ok, at this part you maybe think that this guy should write ads instead of reviews, but I really just love the Aquapac, that's why it's a lot of praise in this review!)

Samsung Pact Fuels Battery Development

Samsung_micro_1
Can a small-town David eventually power an industry Goliath?
MTI Micro Fuel Cells thinks so, and made a pact with Samsung Electronics to develop micro fuel cells for mobile systems. Financial terms of the deal were undisclosed.

Under terms of the deal, MTI, developer of Mobion micro fuel cell technology, will work with Samsung to develop, test and evaluate Mobion technology for various mobile phone applications, MTI said in a statement.

The companies will work to overcome some of the restraints of current lithium-ion devices by shrinking MTI's battery technology, which relies on methanol fuel and water to generate power for mobile phones and small, personal devices.

Proporta 3 in 1 stylus review


Lisa at Proporta sent me a spare stylus for my LD. It's always ok to have a extra stylus, but i actually use this instead of my regular stylus. Maybe you wonder why, because "a stylus is a stylus"(which i thought too), but this one is different. It is both a pen and a stylus.
Is this useful then? For me, absolutely. I often carry my LD, but seldom carry a pen(except the ones i have in my computer bag). But the need for a pen often appears. Not for writing a novel, which i think the stylus would be no good for, but for jotting down a phone number, a quick paper note to someone etc.

It works great as a stylus too, the only thing you notice is that it' s a bit heavier than the regular stylus.

At 11.95£, the Proporta pen and stylus is a excellent choice for LD owners.
