Rating: - reviewI'm very satisfied. Nothing less than I expected. I figured, why buy a new one, especially since PDAs are fossils at this point anyway. Also, the desktop recharger and leather case were unexpectedly thrown in for free. Very cool. Thanks. Rating: - my second E2!I find it almost impossible to live w/o a PDA, so when my first E2 (which I got for free as an incentive from an investment company - those were the days!!) died, I purchased a Sony Clie, not knowing they were discontinued. When I lost its charger, too bad - no more parts. After much shopping around, I decided to go for the E2 again - more than I need for my uses, but the old one had been reliable, and I am used to the interface. The only thing I did differently this time is buy a hard case for it, cause I think the demise of the first can be traced to banging around in my handbag unprotected for years. The back "metal" was actually worn off. I heartily recommend the E2. Rating: - my second onePalm Tungsten E2 Handheldthis is my second one. had a tungsten e for 5 years. very happy with it. excellent for anyone looking for a good base model to keep a calendar and an address book. with and sd memory card it is also a great way to carry around "bragging "photos. Rating: - A real step down from a Sony Clie'I've been forced to switch from the tried and true Sony Clie' I bought more than 5 years ago to a Palm, due to a software compatibility issue. Not having a keyboard incorporated into the device slows things down tremendlously and forces me to use both hands to enter grafiti. The Palm is chunky and awkward to hold compared to the elegant design of the Clie'. Rating: - a newbieI'm new to using PDA's so I kinda over baught getting the tungsten E2. I basically use the notes, calendar, calc., and memo unctions. The rest of the functions I have no use for at the moment. So as far as what I do with it, everything does exactly what I need it to do. I will someday try uploading geocaching coordinates into it but until I get the ones I have stored into my GPS solved, I will continue to memorize them one by one as I look for them. |

Ted Shelton: "Frankly I felt that BlogOn was a waste of time and money."
I think the BlogOn conference was overproduced. In the name of professionalism the organizing firm turned off potential speakers, oversubscribed sponsors, etc.
I would have liked a debatable topic (aside from *blogging = journalism*. Two people slugging it out. Or a devil's advocate taking challenges from the floor.
I would have liked more hard numbers. Facts. Charts. Diagrams. We have the analytic tools to BS-check them; harder on vague opinions and single-points-of-observation.
I found it disturbing how much money was being commanded (from both attendees and sponsors) for a conference at a university. Maybe it was because it was at Berkeley? Maybe we should have taken over a community college or a Cal State or a DeVry. The facilities costs would have been cheaper at least. I heard an organizer apologize and say the next one would be at a hotel, like that would have been better.
Cost wasn't the whole problem. We're at a stage where early adopters are meeting folks who want to leap the chasm. Huge gaps in knowledge, experience, context, culture, vocabulary. It's the gap.
There are huge ideas to be explored, even in the world of applying blogs to media strategy and the enterprise. And most of the big ideas weren't even on the agenda at BlogOn. Probably because it was catering to those who want to commercialize, fund, and otherwise exploit (excuse me, "get in on") the emerging medium.
Let's fork these conferences so advanced topics on business and technology and culture fit the participants.
After being oh-so-predictably sued by six movie studios, RealNetworks is now just as predictably banned by a judge from selling its weirdly anachronistic DVD-ripping RealDVD program. At least until Tuesday, so the judge can review the filings to determine just how boneheaded it is.
In a small victory for Real, they got the case moved out of the studio-infested Central District to California's Northern District court. Now they just have to convince the studios and the judge that the extra DRM sprinkles it piles on top of the rips make RealDVD totally kosher. [Electronista]
