I was down….

After the great New Year 2007, I went to see doctor, 95% people met me says my stomach seems far from fat, which looks like a 7 months pregnancy women…and 100% people saw me saids I do need to see a doctor.

The Doctor said my liver was ok (hehe, yeah I am suprise with all those drinkings…), but my intestine wasn’t looking good, kind of infection…

So I scheduled a XRay test, I was given pills to “clean off” my intestine before the test….and 2 bags of powder of “don’t know what” with 2L of water in 3 hours before the night of the test…..

I think the time I spend in the toilet in these few days sitting on the loop must be more than the time I spend on sitting in-front of my computer….. (hehe, what a compare isn’t it?)

Went to the test today, I was injected with some kind of medicine in order to proceed the X-ray….

Follow by that was a 5 hours great stomach pain of getting those medicine off my intestine….

Luckily I felt much better now….

Report comming late tomorrow, and send to doctor on moday morning, so by the time, I will have to just wait….

Not a good experience to go thur….

Lets see how it goes….

Weblog was down…..

Hum……Weblog and me was down…..

Weblog was down due to the earthquake (Sort of….)

I was down due to cold cause by a stay in the FREEZING datacentre…..

Well, at least, we are still alive….

🙂

Merry Xmas everyone!!

I have a very very very long sleep over the holiday, how about you?

Google patents search!

Just spotted from google, they have launched yet another interesting beta service called “Google Patents Search”.

This service claims allowing users to search over 7 million patents.

Hum, I like this service, example:
A search of “Palm OS” gives me:
FAT file system in palm OS computer
US Pat. 6424975 – Filed January 7, 2000 – TRG Products, Inc.

Ar ha, no suprise!
They was the first one who did external storage on Palm OS!

And very good documentation was listed too!

Should do more search on Palm related topics when I have sometime!!

ITU 2006 Hong Kong for Palm lovers.

ITU Telecom World 2006 was held in Hong Kong this week, I have a chance of getting in from work, so how about a review for Palms?

Don’t think Palm have a booth in the ITU, but ACCESS do!

Start from ACCESS

The NetFront

First in the booth, I spotted the Netfront poster, do you know that the broswer we face EVERYDAY call Blazer is actually powered by NetFront, ACCESS!

The Treooooos


Click to enlarge

I think ACCESS should spend just a little bit more time on the Treos, the name tag of the 700p and 680 was incorrectly place (the other way round…)

Treo680



Click to enlarge

The Treo680 was more lighter then what I thought, I think it is due to the reduced size of the battery….. and a little bit slim in width too.

Treo700p

As Treo700p never released in HK due to different bands used, this is the very first time I have it on my hand!

OS6~Palm OS Cobalt~ALP

Click to enlarge
Chatted with a manager in PalmSource (thanks Mr D!), he was very kind to show me the ALP prototype, a demo was shown running GoogleMap for Treo on the ALP prototype, it ran without any error, I was told that in the Linux conference last year prototype was shown and trial with many PalmOS application and they work without any problem.

I was introduced in details about the ACCESS Linux Platform, like how it is going to run GTK App, MAX Linux Apps, Java Apps and of coz the Palm OS Apps in the ALP.

Then I asked the very question EVERY Palm lover would ask, “When do we expect to see a REAL product?”
I got an answer that we are looking for Q1 ~ Q2 of 2007 for a real product! (I hope this is the truth! we was waiting since end of 2002!!!)


The main board of the developing ALP prototype, Internet was connected var the top-right hand ethernet port, and notice the CF slot


A demo of the media player was shown.

I obtain a very interesting poster from ACCESS booth called ACCESS Powered Devices, I may post it if there is any interest, it listed many Palm devices!

The other Treo

Finishing the ACCESS booth, then I headed to the Microsoft booth for the Treo750v! (It was also shown in some other booth I think, like SmartoneVodafone)

Not Treo! It is GSL!

Click to enlarge
The GSL m70 is not vapourware! I got confirm by staff it is on sale for HK$1980 (~192EU) in shops now! (Hong Kong)
I am very impress with the m70, IMHO the g18/g88 from GSL (OS4) was not very good (in stablility, build-quality, customer support, buildin apps), but I think GSL is getting better and better!

I think if you like a smartphone which act like more a phone than a PDA, GSL does worth a try!

Where are they?


Click to enlarge
Finally, I went thur booth of Samsung and LG, for some reason they both have a window showing “The World’s First XXX”, like the first 10MPix mobilephone etc, but where is the “Worlds’ first Samsung PalmOS smartphone (i300)”, and where is “World’s first LG PalmOS smartphone”?

Use Sony PS3 SIXAXIS controller on a PC



After Wiimote for PC/Mac, now we have Sony PS3 SIXAXIS controller for XP!

Claims on the site:
The Sony PS3 SIXAXIS controller can be used on a Windows PC but Windows XP and upwards would be best. It works as USB HID device under Windows.

If you do have a Sony PS3 SIXAXIS controller, please do give it a try!
