Comments on: Sony Shows New Software Concept at CES

Which is quite the major break for a Palm-based PDA.

If this is the case, Sony may look at this as a way to differentiate their product line from PalmOne's. And, one way or another, it will (depending on the quality of their offerings.)

If you had read a little closer, you would have remembered that PalmOne added the OS6 standard apps to the T3/E units. These are the apps that were origially envisioned for OS6, and will likely still be a well integrated part of it instead of an OS5 kludge.

My point is that I can still sync using PilotManager on Solaris as I did my old Palm III. I can also still use several commands that poke around the pdb files. So these extra fields must be stored else where.

I admit to wanting this new device from Sony. My wife asks "Will they bring out one a month later with double the memory capacity which is twice as fast?" Now they wouldn't do that would they X-) I hope they double the RAM before its released...

Simple,
That was Zen, this is now. :D

Same as the old Zen - only Zennier!

It's just too big.

This new launcher looks okay, but I need to try it first.

Don't get me wrong, there are *some* good ideas there, but he discredits them by taking the whole thing way too far. He's a marketer trying to engineer. Ever seen an engineering dept. tryig to keep their marketing dept. in check?

one of the biggest accelerators to the demise of this site's usefulness is comments from the illustrious mr. cane. i find it amusing that an individual who gets a 30% accuracy rate in his "predictions" still summons the tenacity to promote his opinions as if any of us really care. i wonder if mr. cane is still using is s-series device and if he ever got over the file allocation tables of flash memory cards.

Your overheated response to criticism and your willingness to immediately ad-hom folks just feeds the opinions of you on this site.

Please try to keep a cool head and a mature response, your feedback will be a lot more useful that way.

I don't post often, and I don't usually try to get mixed up in this kind of junk posting, but it is really tiresome.

I like Classic Date Book, dammit. If I wanted something like this, I could get it -- with a Pocket PC!

Your "comments" are more inane ramblings. "Abomination?" "easily KILL?" Ease off the drama pills. If you feel that you have enough information on the TH55 based on these screen shots to make a purchasing decision, then i'm sure that your humble little S320 is safe from replacement.

Some may find the features you find abominable useful. Not all of us have the luxury to idle away the day at best buy and office depot harassing salespeople and scrutinizing handhelds. Not everyone's schedule is divided in half-hour chunks.

as for my "idiotic handle" the name's agonistes, and if you ever read anything beyond shampoo labels and penthouse forum letters you'd understand. here's a clue, it's from john milton. and so that your atrophied little mind doesn't go beserk in figuring that out, he was an english renaissance poet/writer.

Oh yeah, I remember back then...
"CLIE SUX!! M505 ALL THE WAY!! THE SCREEN IS BRIGHT, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN? M505 SUX!! WHO NEEDS 16 BIT COLOR? THE N710C HAS HI-RES AND MP3, IT R0X0RZZZ!!!"
"BOTH OF YOU ARE WRONG!! VISOR PRISM IS THE BESTEST EVER - IT HAS 16 BIT COLOR AND A TRANSLEMISIVLE SCREEN IT IS SO MUCH BETTER AND IT HAS SPRINGBOARD AND THAT RULES SO MUCH MORE THAN THE M505 AND THE CLIE COMBINED!!!"

Please... there's always going to be your inane banter from people who love to argue (myself included), the people who love to complain about everything new that comes out, the people who love everything that comes out and hates all criticism, the self-proclaimed first posters with nothing really to say (love those!), the people who point out typos in reviews, the people who complain that the review didn't come fast enough, the people who tell everybody else to chill, the trolls, and the people who really don't have any idea what they're saying and like to see their name up there because it makes them feel special. Come on, it's commonplace everywhere.

To say this place has gone downhill because of *one* man is moronic. These are comments - you're going to find opinions from every single person who wants to take advantage of this feature. If you don't want to listen to a guy's ramblings, don't read his articles. I get a kick out of his bad predictions and ripping on him incessantly. Makes it all that much more fun, sometimes. Do we really need to be a bunch of boring stiffs? Should we all shut up when what we want hasn't been achieved by a particular company and we want to speak up and have them hear it? Come on, be realistic. Mike is loud. He wants something that's solid and works to his requirements, and when the companies don't make what he wants, he'll reinforce his requirements and requests. You flame him (man I hate that phrase) for his ramblings, he'll get you back. If you don't realize this and try anyway and blame him for the retaliation again, geez, you haven't learned anything. Just let the man complain! He likes it!

THERE.. my rambling is done. For that. Next thing..

>>now this site is pretty much a bitch-fest of "why i dislike the latest palm os device" and "can't palm/sony do anything right?"

There's a reason for this. It's because Sony has given us absolute crap all of 2003, and at the first hint of something to look forward to in Sony's upcoming release, we're going to expect it to be very good. If it's not, we're going to have to look at PalmOne and their horrible quality control issues. If we get past them, then we look at PPC. We see the OS, shudder, look at Linux, shudder at the apps available, look at Symbian and Smartphone, shudder at *everything* about them, and then we're back at Palm OS. It's the second-hand circle of life.

Can we all just cut the **** and realize this is the way it is, the way it always has been, and the way it's always going to be? Life sucks, then you die!

- First of all, Tabasco, I seriously doubt you "remember back" when Palminfocenter was in its heyday, since you were all of nine years old in 2001.

- Secondly, did you just come across a copy of HTML for dummies?

- Thirdly, your defense of the cretin, Mr. Cane is touching, but as any psychologist knows, children often try to defend an abusive parent. Miss Clie politely made a valid post and this nutcase flipped out on her for no reason. And this is who Palminfocenter editor allows to post "articles" here? Pathetic, but now the norm around here since Ed left.

Fourthly, if you keep bashing Palm for having horrible quality control, they might just remove your pride and joy from their site. Don't make me have to show this post to Palm's Michael "The Apologist" Mace.

Try to do better, Baby Tabosco.

It's just too big.

If you talk to anyone that has met Mike Cane, you'd know he doesn't swing that way, if you know what I mean. Kinda surprising, but apparently all that agressive "manly" posturing is really just a front for what he really is. (Not that there's anything wrong with "alternative" lifestyles - as we say in San Francisco, it takes many types to make a rainbow.)

It's just too big.

No I don't live there, sweetie. But why do you refer to Mike's type as "your kind" when you obviously swing the same way? I don't judge you. But I know you like to prance around in that Village People cowboy outfit that you keep in the closet at home in that big ole 'ole called Texas. And I hear there are more homersexuals in Dallas than San Francisco. Is that true? You sick freak.

;-)

It's just too big.

If you have any self-respect left, I'd suggest you publicly apologize here to Miss Clie for your little psychotic break. But I don't expect you have the cojones to admit you were wrong (yet again). In fact rumor has it you have no cojones at all...

It's just too big.

>>Only a child would be so naïve as to believe that Palm is REALLY two different companies. The "split" is not real...

>>...The grown ups here know the difference between SEC + stock manipulation and Story According to Palm.

You might want to adjust the tin foil hat on your head - you can see the rear celebellum through it. Wouldn't want Microsoft or MLB reading your mind with their satellites, would you, Mr. Conspiracy Theorist? Are you going to tell me next that PalmOne didn't really aquire HandSpring and that it was also just a big scandal? Or that we really do have Osama and we're just using that as a reason to keep on with the war on terror in the Middle-East? Go away, sick fraud. Maybe when you quit acting like you're one up the better half of the population, we'll stop treating you like the inept, impotent, middle-aged virgin that you really are.

Hey, if you respond to true criticism of your idiotic ramblings with insults (worse than Mr. Cane), expect to get them right back with a dash of disrespect. I noticed you didn't touch anything about how mikecane posted things to PIC while Ed (your savior) was here, and that this never happened before he left, since I stuffed your mouth shut with crow. Or the fact that maybe I really have been here for two years. And I'm quite sure you once again mixed up PalmOne and PalmSource and tried to make up for your stupidity by saying they never really split. That was really clever - almost fooled me. Really.

Tell you what. Next time I go to a book store, instead of looking for "HTML for Dummies", I'll pickup a copy of "How-To-Think-Before-You-Speak for Dummies" and hand deliver it to you. I suggest you read it in its entirety. Now I once again implore you to stop talking before I have to nail you in the face with reality. Again.

>"We're sick of your posts, Mike. Please leave and never come back here"<

Truly, while I don't care much for Mike's posts, he was provoked in this case by none other than you. I'm sick of your posts, does that give me the right to demand that you leave a *public* forum which you don't even own and haven't contributed to in any fashion for longer than 4 months? If you really hate free speech so much, then why don't you leave and find a site that is much more agreeable to you?

As far as Mike attackin Ms. Clie et all, I think that was inappropriate as well. Mike, sometimes you should chill. I say this not as an attack, just as an observation, and I *have* defended you when you've been attacked unjustifiably.

>"Only a child would be so naïve as to believe that Palm is REALLY two different companies. The "split" is not real - it's a creative accounting business decision. No doubt Michael "Damage Control" Mace will soon pop up here in a puff of smoke like a genie from a bottle to deny this, but that's the truth. Honestly. The grown ups here know the difference between SEC + stock manipulation and Story According to Palm. By the way Baby Tabasco: Santa Claus isn't real. Sorry."<

Hmm...Santa isn't real. Apparently neither is your adulthood. You sit there pontificating about being a "grown up" (childish term, BTW), yet the one you call "the kid" (Bosco) has generally been the most mature poster in this whole sordid thread. Yep, Bosco, I'm the one who keeps telling everyone to cut it out...LOL. Then you come out with this ridiculous conspiracy theory about there never really being a split. How manyt copies of "Catcher in the Rye" do you own? The whole point of the split was to allow PalmSource to obtain more licensees and get a better foothold in a variety of market segments. You can lecture us about the SEC and stock manipulation when you show us proof that you actually invested AND made any money.

So guys, please just cut it out already.

Baby Tabasco... when will you ever learn?

1) The "split" is a smoke and mirrors trick. The fact that some naive people and children believe it is real doesn't change that fact. Ask some grown ups to explain this to you at recess tomorrow.

2) The only ass being handed is yours to Mike Cane for his bedtime pleasure.

3) Look up the spelling of brain anatomical structures BEFORE you drop them in your posts.

4) I had posted

"- Thirdly, your defense of the cretin, Mr. Cane is touching, but as any psychologist knows, children often try to defend an abusive parent. Miss Clie politely made a valid post and this nutcase flipped out on her for no reason. And this is who Palminfocenter editor allows to post "articles" here? Pathetic, but now the norm around here since Ed left."

I did not say Mike Cretin never posted here when Ed was around. Apparently reading is not one of your fortes. You might want to keep that copy of "How-To-Think-Before-You-Speak for Dummies" for yourself. I suggest you read it in its entirety.

Do you ever tire of making yourself look like a fool?

It's just too big.

>>Yep, Bosco, I'm the one who keeps telling everyone to cut it out...LOL.

Hey, we all got to act a little older sometimes. ;)

>>Then you come out with this ridiculous conspiracy theory about there never really being a split. How manyt copies of "Catcher in the Rye" do you own?

Hahahaha!!! Next thing you know he's going to tell us he's deaf!!

>>So guys, please just cut it out already.

Probably the best idea I've heard in the whole damned thread. You've been on a roll when it comes to calming down threads, Wollombi. First you defend ska, now this!

His last few words..."its just too big" is what he told his house call male stripper who helped him come up with that dumb-a$$ catch phrase, which in turn means he wasted a few hundred bucks which he could have just bought gay porn with, and figured out that his well oiled ass isnt what it used to be in its virgin days. Which means he found out that the male strippers "fun friend" wasnt in fact too big after ;-) pulled out the wine bottle.

I guess you should try before you deny.

You're a real brain too, I see. Your URL doesn't come up. An HQ that doesn't exist. Figures.

Now why don't *you* disappear? Into your invisible HQ!

Anyway that was fun.

When the smoke cleared and I re-read the thread, I saw a crazed lunatic ranting on a new product, a second crazed lunatic ranting on the previous ranter, a kid who's been laughing for over a week at this thread, and another kid whose sexual comments have been a little more than a few steps across the line of disgusting. Maybe you guys should all take a deep breath and do the same thing I did and laugh at all of our rash words in a time of haste. It'll do some good. Give it a shot.

"Beam me that contact, and I'll clean them up for you."

If you are in a profesion that has you meeting lots of people infrequently (weeks or even months at a time) this would not be a bad thing. Lawyers, doctors, salespeope and even teachers in big institutions come to mind. I am a lawyer and while I talk on th phone and corrospond with clients over the course of representation, I might actually meet that person only two or three times over six months or more. I have often thought about taking photos of clients when they hired me, but never have figured out a diplomatic way to ask.

Life is a great adventure or nothing.
