Week in Review: Dec. 23 -- Dec. 29

Posted By: Ed on Saturday, December 29, 2001 11:00:54 AM

While this week was a slow one for Palm news because of Christmas, it wasn't totally dead. Toshiba released the Bluetooth SD card in Japan and Palm Inc. finally released a version of its desktop software for Mac OS X, if only in beta.

There were rumors that big changes are coming from Sony. Both the N610C and the S320 now show up as "Out of Stock" on SonyStyle and the not yet announced T615 is listed in Best Buy's inventory system.

Not surprisingly, no new hardware was announced but a couple of interesting apps were, Thin Font Fix and JackSprat 2.0, and there was a review of Bump Attack Pinball.

And because its the end of the year, predictions for 2002 are only appropriate.

You mean to tell me solder pearls rolling around could not cause shorts?? Try sticking a pair of scissors in the electric wall outlet and see if you JUST get a "fatal error".
