Comdex Brings a Tidal Wave of New Products

With Comdex currently going on in Las Vegas, product announcements are coming fast and quick. The past two days has seen the release of MemorySafe for the Palm V, the Tsunamidi, and the InfoPort infrared kiosk.

MemorySafe for the Palm V series is a small 8MB memory back-up module. It will cost $70 when available in December. There is already a version for all other Palms.

The Tsunamidi is an add-on MIDI player for the Palm V series. This mobile music authoring and editing tool is General MIDI compliant and contains a built-in speaker and external stereo headphone connector. Built with standard MIDI IN and MIDI OUT connectors, Tsunamidi allows musicians to connect their instruments to their Palm for composition and playback on external MIDI devices. It also includes MIDI software applications that let users compose songs using graphic sheet music and an array of on-screen instruments, including a keyboard and drum patterns. It is available now for $130 from the Palm Store.

Clarinet's InfoPort is an infrared kiosk designed for Trade Shows, Convention Centers, Museums and Stop 'n' Go coupon information Kiosks to allow beaming as many as 100 pages of text to Palm handhelds. InfoPort costs $695.

Memory Safe for Palm V/x

I placed my order through their web site September 1st. At that time they just said, "Available Soon". I should have known that meant, "This year, maybe." The device also looked smaller then. It looked very compact and had a small hole on one end that looked like it would go on a key ring. Grump, grump, grump...

well well...another great news...

You Call this a Flood of Announcements

This is what you consider a flood of product announcements. Give me a freakin' break!!! Where is the sneak peek at the new PVc??? What is all this garbage, we don't even know if these new accex will fit the new V's. I am getting so sick of these guys at Palm. If they had even 50% of the market share versus the 80% they hold, they would be more considerate of the loyal users who have been with them when the damm unit said US Robotics. If the Pocket PCs were a little smaller and less buggy, I would leave Palm in a minute. Chances are I may get the color Sony anyway.

I can't begin to understand what the hell you're ranting about here...

I would have a *good* look at the Color Clie screen if I were you - it ain't great. First time I saw one I thought it was greyscale...

It's a portable MIDI controller -- you can use this to have your Palm control a serier of synthesizers, drum machines, and lighting systems. For electronic musicians, this looks really, really cool!
