Red Alert to iPhone & iPod Touch!
For iPhone & iPod Touch owners; there's a new threat to your shiny gadget. As described by iPhoneWorld (who even published this new threat source code!): "...your iPhone will lock up after simply visiting a page that contains the malicious code in question". So all the hackers need is for you to visit their website, and your Safari web browser's memory automatically will be overloaded; thus resulting in a freeze situation or the worst is crash down. This new exploit was tested on the newest iPhone firmware 1.1.4, and no words or patch from Apple yet. But for desktop users, you can fix it by installing the newest Safari v3.1.
Another solution is posted by Robert Vamosi (C|Net); just disable the Javascript within Safari:
1. Under Edit, click Preferences.
2. Click the Security icon.
3. Uncheck Enable JavaScript.
4. Close and restart Safari.
Good luck & God speed...

Today as I was on an Easter Egg hunt with my daughter, I remembered that Palm had a little "Easter Egg" of it's own. So tonight I thought I would remind those of us with Palms that it's easy to find. just follow the directions below. These are for Palm OS 5.
Used the alarm to wake up and then checked the weather and my email with Safari. Had to go into New York so I used Safari to check the traffic and decided to drive to Port Imperial and take the ferry over. Beautiful ride, by the way, and if you are a tourist you should take the round trip just for the fun of it.

Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia] The camera on my O2 Xda IIi PDA Phone is, to put it midly, nothing to be proud out. To put it bluntly, it is downright ugly. The result is often blurry, too dark, or just simply not clear. Yet at most times, there is no other choice than to use it. Carrying my Kodak camera around is not too convenient and not really an option for mobility. So, when there is no other choice and I need to take a picture, my PDA will have to do. One way to make the result a little bit better is to ensure enough light in the room, or at least enough light around the object that I want to take a picture of. Even then it usually takes several shots before I get one that is rather acceptable.

few days back I mentioned how Xacti's video clips stored in its SD card can
be played back in palm. But there's more on SD card reading.
Well, after all those years using Palm devices, I finally got my hands on a Pocket PC/Windows Mobile device. No, I haven't left the Palm fold. My wife just got an 
I hate it when the weekend holiday comes to an end so fast, but so less news to read. It has been so lonesome without exciting news, and as much as I too hate rumors on new gadgets that maybe never see the daylight; I guess it won’t hurt to have some for once in awhile “again”… Here are the few worthy of them; one or two may have been mentioned already at our beloved PalmAddict weblog, so bear a little okay:
Today I was working on my Norwegian/Swedish project and I was think it would be great to have online sites for language translation bookmarked so I can grab them quickly. Palm translation applications tend to be very heavy and I don't have that much space. I do have Genius from Hobbyist, which translates but by default it goes to one site. But with the 
Tegan got a Tungsten T last year for her sixth birthday. She wanted a Palm like daddy's to play music, watch video and have a bright screen. It had to be an OS 5 device for all that. So I started having a look on Ebay at what was available. I came across a Tungsten T. It was at a very low price and I enventually won it for £20. When it came it was in really good condition and ideal for her. It had a differing form factor from the other Palms in the house so this was very individual for a rather individual six year old.
I rather cheekily set it up as a clone of my Zire 71 and this allowed hed to play her favourite games she had played on my 71. I put on TCPMP to handle her video and music needs. This means I have ro make sure that they are mp3 files for audio but I knew that the output from Fair Use Wizard would allow the convertion of DVDs. I stuck in a 1 gig sd card to have ample storage.
Now Tegan has played about with my 71 for quite a while and before that my Visor Deluxe so she figured out the Tungsten T no bother, I even realise that the center button worked on my 71 after a few years of use.
Tegan uses her T everyday. At bed time some relaxing music is played and during the day a mix of games or video. There are things that I do like use the bluetooth to add to the store of photos she has onboard. I set up Launcher X to hide any system type apps from her and only show the ones she uses or is allowed to use.
Yes my daughter, Tegan, 6, is also a Palm Addict.

Earlier this week I went into New York and met with representatives of Dash Navigation to get a review unit of their product. I've been writing about GPS for over five years, and worked in the industry for a year, and I have to tell you that this is one of the most, if not the most, exciting thing I've seen.
Alright hot-panties boys & girls, these are the new gadgets that coming to you; so embrace your wallet tighter before your shopping impulse strikes:
Eric has sent me the link to another financial program for Palm OS and it's called Adarian Money. "Want to get control of your money? Are you confused by all those bank accounts, credit cards, monthly bills ... and don't know how much you have and how much you owe? Look no further, check out what Adarian Money can do for you:
Morning everyone and as promised I am in New York and as I mentioned earlier this week all I took in regards to computing was my iPhone and Palm Centro and so as a consequence all my blogging on Palm Addict will be done from either one of the devices.
