From today onwards, you will see a SPUG sticker pasted by 3Com on every Palm PDA device sold in Singapore. Congratulations to all the folks involved in makin' this happen!
Find our how the sticker looks here.

A company called PFU released the Happy Hacker cradle that allows you to use a standard PS/2 keyboard with your palm device. On a similar note Microsoft released this keyboard for use with CE and windows desktop machines. ZDNet has an article for further reading on the keyboard device.

There's a very good article on sv.com on how Mike Cassidy was seduced into digital dependence. It's a great reflection on the appeal and acceptance of the Palm in today's world. "The Palm would make me a man, a man of the world--organized, nimble, mobile, and most of all, cool". It's well worth the read.

Here's some more bad news for Windows CE. The article states that Palm is expected to have 80% of the pda market by years end. Surprise, surprise, MS will likely miss their target shipping date for CE 3, which according to the author is not much of an improvement. There's also some funny CE bashing quotes "It seems asinine that you have to go to a Start menu on a palm-size device."
"They started out with an operating system that was lame on the desktop, and they're sticking the same thing on a far more underpowered platform". Thanks to john retro for the link.

ZDTV has a real video clip of Innogear's MP3, Six-pack and pager springboards from PalmSource. Also shown is the Bluetooth module from Widcomm. You can read the article here or watch the video clip.

In case people aren't aware, Release 6 of CodeWarrior Lite is available for downloading from the Metrowerks FTP site. Unlike Release 5 of CW Lite, this version doesn't have any limits on the size or number of segments in an application. However, it also doesn't include the necessary libraries for building C++ programs, although if you have CW Lite Release 5 (available on the CD-ROM of several books, including my own) you can use its libraries. Readers of my book should get updated samples if they want to use CW Lite R6.

The Palm Infocenter staff wishes everyone a happy and safe Halloween. Here's a special Palm Halloween greeting brought to you by the Nashville Palm Users Group (NPUG).

Go here to see the story behind the great Palm pumpkin.

It's about time! Ever since the so-called "hoaxes" from Palmcolors and Palmcrystal, and even before, users have been raving for clear cases! Now wait no longer (well, until they ship)! PalmGear has them and they announce they will ship by the end of November! Go here and see for yourself!

PDAmart has an article on how Palm and M$ are starting to adopt the strengths of the other into their respective strategies. The Nashville PUG is giving away an iBiz Keyboard at their next outing. UGeek has some new PDA horror stories. HandSpring has reopened their online store yet I still haven't received my Visor! And finally ZDNET thinks this cell phone is better than a Palm VII.

Earlier this week WizCom Technologies announced they are developing a scanning Pen module for the Visor. The QuickLink Pen is of particular interest to all Palm OS owners, because connectivity with it would make "pocket OCR" a reality. Read all about it in this exclusive article by Mike Cane.

Some people thought it was impossible, but they were wrong. Atelier is proud to announce it is now shipping SimCity™ for Palm Computing connected organizers. The world's greatest city simulator is now available on the most popular connected organizers, including the Palm III™, Palm IIIx™, Palm V™ and Handspring Visor™.
