Quickies: Garage Sale, Singapore, TreoButton
Rumor: The Palm m515 will be released in Singapore on March 5. The price will be S$840 (Singapore dollars), which is similar to the m505's price when first launched. -Ed
Every year Power Media sells their test equipment (Palm OS devices, Handspring Modules, and much more) via their web page on a first-come-first-serve basis. The list includes products that Power Media purchased to test hardware and software compatibility or proof of concept on new products. -Brad Simms
Yamada Tasushi, aka Hacker Dude-san, has released another beta app for the Handspring Treo. TreoButton 1.0 beta 1 lets the user choose which application to launch when the lid is opened. -nXt

don't need all the units bought
RE: Power Media Garage Sale
You must be joking. I've never gotten a good deal on eBay. It's a great place to sell stuff but all the time I see items where the bidding has been driven up over the retail price!!

Seriously? I'm not that big an eBayer, but I've sold about 3 items there, and been disappointed with the bids I got. I've also bought about 10 items that were wayyy below the retail price.

I have bid on four Cisco 678 routers in the past two weeks and have won none of them. That is several hours of my life wasted. I like Ebay, but sometimes it is nice just to be able to BUY something.

Sony Users: this thing doesn't support 320x320 so it is worthless. Plus, Palm hasn't adopted your "creative" button design either. 1 out of 5 stars.
The screen is nice and noticably brighter, as advertised. That's about the only thing anyone need concern themselves with.
The "colored" NotePad application isn't really. It just replaces black ink and instead uses blue ink (same color as the default blue menu colors). It is version 1.7 (1.1 came with my m505).
Haven't installed the software yet.

The Sony has a nicer screen for viewing pictures. The 515 screen is roughly as bright as the 615, and the colors are about equal. I think the Prism has better color than both, but it's screen loses visibility at an angle and in sunlight. Overall both the 515 and 615 have a more usable screen than the Prism. The Prism has the better color, but it isn't usable in all lighting and at all angles.
The 615 screen is (to me) slightly better overall than the 515 b/c of the resolution, but color and brightness are equal. However, I really don't use anything that heavily depends on resolution. I use calendar, contact, database lookup, email, etc.... I don't read a lot of text, I don't use pictures, etc.... Thus to me the 615 screen's advantage really isn't significant (in DateBk4 the two are equal in my mind, for example).
That leaves form factor and accessories. The former goes to the 515 for me b/c of the buttons. I just can't handle the 615's buttons for quick access.
Accessories benefit the 515 also. I already have a cellular cable for the 515 (fits a 505 also), and when Verizon carries a bluetooth phone that I like I know the 515 will have a bluetooth sd card (b/c it's there today).
So net, if you care about graphics/pictures the Sony is a better choice. If you care about apps that can work well in a 160x160 screen, form factor and accessories the 515 is better.

Okay, here we go again!!,
NOBODY was bashing nobody in this thread until you posted. And then Palm users (like me) complain that Sony users are always bragging around. Now I see why.

One thing I don't understand is their Clie T615. If they buy these products to test them out with their software/hardware/whatever, why are they selling this Clie in a New, SEALED box? Did they not even bother using it?
