Quickies: RIM, NR70, Dallas/Ft. Worth

Posted By: As Listed Friday, April 5, 2002 8:39:10 AM

Research In Motion is going to begin licencing the wireless email technology used in its Blackberry pagers. The Blackberry offers a similar service to the Palm i705. -Ed

According to Sony Switzerland, the new Sony PEG-NR70 will be available in that country in May or June for between 1000 and 1100 Swiss Francs. -Hugo Rossi

The Dallas/Ft Worth Palm User Group has officially joined with the North Texas PC User Group. With this merger, the DFWPUG is now a PDA Special Interest Group of the NTPCUG. The NTPCUG meets on the third Saturday of the month at the North Lake Community College in Irving, TX. -Matthew Stevens

Is everyone blind around here

Am I the only one who went to Sony's CLIE site yesterday to find that they are taking preorders for the new NR series, IN THE US???

Just checking, since it seems that everyone has had a collective brain fart.

They have been taking pre-orders for over a week, and so is Amazon.com. This was a different news story a week or so ago!

Motient bites...

I'm glad RIM is licensing its technology, but I HOPE that means that 3rd parties will be able to write better applications for the Motient MobileModem. Motient's current software for that thing is still full of bugs and memory leaks, not to mention taking up nearly two megs of RAM. I'd love to have Iambic Mail that supports the MobileModem.
Unfortunately, I have a feeling that the license fee will be really high, and shareware and freeware authors won't be able to afford developing for it.
