Treo680 announced!



Finally……………….but………..no WIFI…………..VGA CAM (still no Flash?)………..Chop off the antenna, a little bit more memory and a few more choices on Colors ONLY??

Wonder how does Palm deals with HTC, do they just go and say, hey, give me the most outdated, low-cost hardware you have!

P.S: hum….Palm OS 5.4.9 , do we next have 5.4.9.1?
Wonder how long does it takes to gets to 5.9.9.9.9 then 6.0? or never?
🙂

Anyway, heads off for more!!

EST Traveled Displacement 20061000000000 ~ 20061010000000: appox 1750 KM…

Last day of the holiday…

I am now at the Thailand Suvarnabhumi Airport, flight has been delay, so another 70 mins in Thailand.

This was such a great trip, things are better then I expected, weather was doing good, food was good too, and it was so nice to spend some good time with R.

Thanks R, I love you so much.

In Pattaya, Thailand!

Man this is great!
Think of mate B, wish you were here, Sun shine and the beach!

What could be better than this?

Acer S10 spotted in Bangkok.

I already have the S60, still looking for a S10 to complete the Acer Palm series, in a computer mall of Bangkok I find one!


As seen on the photo!

But I think the price has been over tag, 4000 Thai baht is almost USD100, I think it sounds too much for a BW OS4 device.

There was only a few store selling Palms…and prices aren’t very attractive too, maybe due to the 7% VAT on top.

Also spotted a Infrared wireless keyboard, but price are almost the same as the price I saw in Taiwan back in Feburary, about USD40 which I think not very attractive for collection only.

Of coz I didn’t want to go back bare hand, found a Palm V series hard case speical edition (Which is blue colour) at 200, about USD4..

Thanks SK from TPUG for the info on the computer centre.

Stay connected, in Bangkok.

Thanks PUMBer Pauz, he posted full details on getting GPRS in Bangkok.

Follow his post, I purchased an AIS One-All-Call SIM Card (250 Thai baht, about USD6) in the 7-11, suprisingly seems GPRS is now in promotion, 3000 mins free GPRS is given for a new card! (I think this is targeting tourist like me to buy them while traveling Thailand)

Inserting the SIM to my Treo, done done, network setting has already been set by the SIM.

Stay connected is just so good!
🙂

Off to Thailand!

I am now on the way to the HK Internation Airport, heading Bangkok, Thailand for a 4 days holiday with R…

Yeah! wish me a good holiday. 🙂

So by now, you guys enjoy the “Mid-Autum”, take some moon cake and have a nice holiday too!

More info on the GSL Xplore M70



Earlier, we have posted on New PalmOS smartphone – the Xplore M70 , not much info was released at that time.

Visiting back to GSL website for M70, found that they update the user manual on the page.

In the user manual (PDF) it stated that the M70 does comes with a SD/MMC slot, the SIM card design was simular to other Xplore, under the battery (Instead of the Treos SIM Tray design).

Possibly yet another new PalmOS Smartphone? PiTech W300??

I was browsing thur the website of Astraware, and found this interesting….



At Phones: Astraware



Hum………….PiTech W300??

Was this a mistake? or hint for yet another new PalmOS smartphone?

Looking at Phone:Astraware page, mention the Qool QDA 700 was listed, so I suggest the PiTech W300 is not another rebrand version of it. also even Samsung i539 (Only released in Mainland China on CDMA network) which most of the developers forgot, I think they didn’t list W300 by mistake..

I was trying to Google a bit of information on “PiTech W300”, all results I can get was the description of device support on Astraware products, so I would suggest it was flowing around for quite a while already..
Search result of PiTech W300 in Google

I went to PiTech’s website, other than the rumors 3MP i10 smartphone (I bet they are still looking hard for investor to manufacture this baby! not related to this story tho…hehe), I did not see any info on a W300 either…

What do you think?
