Comments on: A Look Ahead at New Peripherals
Shinei International is developing two items for the m100 series: the Porteson MP3 player and the 56K clipModem. The Porteson has 32 MB of on-board flash memory and an SD/MMC card expansion slot. Attached to the m100 or m105, users can customize playlists, adjust the equalizer, edit song filenames, access the shuffle/repeat playback option, customize user interface "skins" and control buttons' functions. It can even work independently from the Palm. It is expected to cost $180.

Barcode Wand
Although Socket doesn't say so on their page, TRG's web site claims that it is compatible with the TRGpro. I don't have one, I've never used one, so I can't speak to the accuracy of either statement.
TRG (soon to be Handera, I guess) has a very conservative list of devices and cards that work with the TRGpro here: http://www.trgpro.com/support/cf_compatible.html

RE: MP3 for Palm!!!
If I'm understanding right, I wouldn't mind having it just to use something like this as a Palm "Hard drive". 32MB with USB access to my PC? A "zip drive" for the Palm and the PC. Cool.
RE: MP3 for Palm!!!
which shows a list of skins that you can interchange and even beam to another porteson user.
Good equalizers with Rock, Classic, Dance, Jazz and custom. Shuffle and Repeat mode to choose from.
Time counter and playlist to choose songs. Data storage management to back-ups filess to the player.
A SD dummy was used to demostrate that it can increase the capacity of the songs and also use as storage. A really cool product.
Downloadd songs thru the mini USB cable.
I got a business card of the Shinei exhibitor and have wrote to him for release date..end of this april.
MP3 Jammer
Now, why didn't they think of that...
I wonder if implementing a built-in solution would be feasible, after all, calculators are already sporting solar panels... why not design a Palm that incorporates a solar panel on the front?
This will enable users to use their Palms during the day and keep it charged-up, and then drain the batteries only during the night or while in dark places.
This can also help to prolong battery life for rechargeables whilst saving the Earth...
Cool idea... really hopes this takes off!

Printer Question
I have a use for an easily accessible wall/desk mounted
thermal printer,(printing out barcode lables, sample reciepts in a laboratory) and this looks just about perfect.
Is there a link for more info, I didn't see one in the story. [Also are there barcode readers avail for any palmos devices? I seem to recal TRGpro having one, but I haven't found anything about it.]
