Hehe, I did the PDA to PPC-6601 yesterday… It was fun.

That was hella fast. The Treo 650 has been in people’s hands for what, like five or six days, and somebody’s already hacked the Bluetooth so you can use it as a wireless modem with your laptop (or if you’re super geeky, another PDA). This [...]

One of my favorite sites is back online!  See what Dale has to say… And add this site to your aggregator!

OK, I got tired of waiting for my website to get back on-line so in the interim a good friend of mine suggested I just start blogging! 

I am trying to re-point the old [...]

Ouch!  I wonder how much usable memory there is in the PPC-6601.. Oh yeah, it’s 128Mb….

Everybody is a lot more excited about these ringback tones than I expected. I’m sort of dreading them, myself, as I’ll now be forced to endure everyone’s humorous or nostalgic choices of music as I try to call them. On the bright side, it gives me an excuse to hang [...]

They also came out with 5.4.0 on the server software which is quite nice.  They added better support for other music formats.  They also are offering a deal where you ship them your CDs and they will rip them all onto DVD-ROM for you..

The Squeezebox, Slim Devices’ iTunes-compatible network player is now as colorful as [...]

Super cool!!!  I am downloading this right now.

For you smartphone folks this should come in quite handy.
