HTML and CSS can come in handy. However, you usually don’t have access to a good tutorial when you need it the most.
Anyways, html.net recently started its tutorial offerings. as far as I can see, they are free and cover CSS and HTML in good detail.

This screenshot comes from TrackerDog:
As it looks, someone recently ‘committed’ a VersaMail 3.5 file to TrackerDog. In case you don’t know TrackerDog yet, it basically is a database that keeps track of all your apps uptodateness by comparing it to the apps of other users.
The m10 designation makes this look like a beta version of something. It of course also could be a stupid person pulling a joke on all of us, but to be honest, who can think of this. The Sprint rumors that we heard over the last few weeks, the LifeDrive price drop et al really add to the picture-it looks as if Palm is preparing a new box for release… .
Beeing perfectly honest, the Treo 70p reports that leaked recently sound very reasonable to me. So, the “good old” Treo 650 and maybe even its buggy, halfbred notification system may soon be gone into the abyss of time-with AutoSync users cheering. Altough…I dont think that they will actually fix the hardware dock notifications.
What do you think? Is a new box on thew way?
Just for kicks:
If they are counting the bricks, put them in the accounting department.
If they are re-counting them, put them in auditing.
If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in engineering.
If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order, put them in planning.
If they are staring out of the window, put them in strategic planning.
If they are throwing the bricks at each other, put them in operations.
If they are sleeping, put them in reception
If they have broken the bricks into pieces, put them in information technology.
If they are sitting idle, put them in human resources.
If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been moved, put them in sales.
If they have already left for the day, put them in marketing.
And then last but not least
If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved. Congratulate them and put them in top management.

Here’s a review of quite possibly the best PDA car mount available today. The Arkon Powered GPS Car Mount is an innovative new offering from Arkon. I am very impressed at the quality of the workmanship of this product. It combines a PDA charger, GPS receiver, car mount, and speaker amplifyer into one compact product. Very nice!
My first impressions were favorable. I attached the suction cup to my windshield and was impressed how tightly it adhered to the glass. My Tom Tom car mount had begun to fall off periodically and was quite annoying. I have been testing this mount for 2 months now and it has yet to fall of the windshield. Arkon recommends that you release the suction every two weeks to maximize the life of the suction cup.
The above picture shows the GPS receiver and the wonderful swivel feature. The GPS receiver gets very nice reception and is hidden out of the way behind the mount. It can even swivel to the side for those of you who would like to use your PDA in landscape mode in the mount.
The swivel mechanism on the mount is like a ball-in-socket design which allows you to move your PDA to just about any angle you can think of, and then you tighten it to hold that position. When tightened, the swivel holds very firmly and does a great job. This was definitely one of my favorite features.
There is also a speaker in the back of the mount that is covered up in this picture. You can connect your device’s audio through a male to male headphone cord to the speaker in the mount. Palm devices are notorious for having poorly powered speakers, but you can use the amplified speaker to hear your GPS voice directions over your music or other noise. There is also a volume dial on the side for this speaker. I couldn’t get the speaker to work with the supplied Tungsten C cable they gave me. I was able to get the speaker to work using other devices. I’m sure the Tungsten C’s mono sound caused the issue. The quality of the speaker was average but definitely sufficient for your basic voice directions.
As mentioned, the mount also charges your PDA. It does this through one of the two USB ports in the bottom of the mount. I liked the option to charge another device through USB. The entire mount has a cord that connects to a cigarette lighter which powers the entire mount. A red light at the bottom comes on when the mount is powered. The device also has a bluetooth charger, but there is really no reason to opt out of using the mount’s GPS receiver as it performed extremely well.
In conclusion, my Tom Tom Car Mount that I bought is soon going to be in the trash. This Arkon Mount is the best car mounting product I have seen available. Its innovative design, array of features, and brilliant workmanship makes this product well deserving of a favorable review.

Recently, Microsoft announced their Origami initiative, and analysts jumped at the devices, calling them a strike of genius et al. Generic PDA’s are doomed, one OS to rule them all, a genius idea, blah blah blah…
Buddha said that the time is a bad teacher as it kills its pupils, and indeed, the Origami already existed a few years ago when DOS was hip. HP had a pack of boxen that were similar to today’s Nokia Communicators, and many other companies produced look-alikes. However, the Psion, the Palm, et al killed them off rather fast.
If you think of an origami device, you will immediately see that it exists under extreme power and space concerns. A notebook is spacey compared to such a box, and notebooks usually are slower than high-end desktop boxen.
In addition to the hardware limitations, the physical size limit makes using big screens impossible. This makes high resolutions unusable, and thus, you basically are stuck with XGA or SVGA. If you ever tried to get serious work done with Windows XP under XGA, you will know what I am talking about…
Last but not least, PC applications are designed for an entirely different kind of use. If Outlook takes 10 seconds to start on a desktop box, this is ok-I want to use the app for a very long time. But imagine having to wait for Outlook while wanting to jot sth down while chatting to sb on the go…
Overall, the origami will be cool-for a few months. But on the long run, applications will outgrow the existing hardware and users will get annoyed. The show will eventually end…for a few years. History tends to repeat itself….
What do you think?
