Week in Review: Sept. 23 - Sept. 29

Three new applications made it a good week for people who own handhelds with expansion cards. PiDirectVFS can run apps directly from the cards and FilePoint 1.5 can help keep files in either RAM or a memory card organized. Avantage is a special-purpose app for storing AvantGo on expansion cards.

There was good news for people looking for external keyboards, too. The SnapNtype and ThumBoard are clip-on keyboards available now while the FrogPad is coming later this year.

The Samsung I300 smartphone is getting close to its release date, and people who buy it from Sprint will be able to use the Blazer Web browser for free.

There were no less than four reviews printed this week: the Visor Pro, Rayman, the Parafone cordless phone Springboard, and the IrKB101 Wireless Keyboard Module.

In the forums,there's an interesting discussion of fantasy Sony models and another on sharing calendar events.

In the Market Place, there's a Sony N710C for sale at only $350. There's also a Palm m505 with a Palm games pack going for only $320. There are two Sony S320's on sale, too, along with tons of other handheld-related items.
