Ok, this is just…um……um……..great idea! (don’t think it passes the concept/idea phase anyway…hehe)

After the Laser keyboard saga, I dare would even think of a product with this design….

Palm Licenses Palm OS Garnet Source Code

Ok, after selling off its child (the only child, the biological one, not the adopted one from M$), and now they want a piece back!

🙂

Palm has license back the Palm OS Garnet source code from ACCESS for 44 millions USD.

Quote from PalmInfocenter:
Under terms of the agreement, ACCESS has granted Palm specific rights to modify the code base of Palm OS Garnet for use in its devices such as the Palm Treo smartphone family and the company’s other handheld computers. The agreement also grants Palm the right to use Palm OS Garnet in whole, or in part, in any product from Palm and together with any other system technologies.

Hum…..what a “great” step Palm! does that mean we then will have YET ANOTHER Treo680.1 with OS5.9.9.999??

Added Snap Preview Anywhere on the Weblog


Click to enlarge

I was thinking of simular function to the Weblog for a while, and find this great service today.

When you do a Mouse-over on an external link, a preview snap box will be prompt for user to decide where to go. (Actually preview of internal link can be enable by setting si=1, but currently it is not enable.)

The “Snap Preview Anywhere” service is free and easy to install, heads off snap and regist for a key, insert a line of HTML code to your source will do! (Nice AJAX there!)

If you like it, give it a try!

Wireless USB finally made the market



Finally, the UWB (Ultra Wide Band) USB made the market by Belkin.

Belkin F5U301, 480Mbps USB 2.0 connection could be made by this 4 port hub, pricing at US$199.

Hum………..20 times more expensive than the hub I am using right now…..I think I will stay with my cable jungle for a while…
