PalmOne officially announced the Mobile Manager line
PalmOne is an innovator, but nobody realizes it
Pocket PC Thoughts rags on the Mobile Manager, but they've got it completely backwards
Again, Cobalt isn't better than Garnet, just different. The LifeDrive isn't "inferior" for using Garnet.
Why PalmOne isn't likely to patch the "find bug" or the NVFS implementation on the T5
Palm OS Garnet is already better than what Pocket PC users are waiting for in Windows Mobile 5.0. So who's actually playing "catch up"? We already have persistent storage, PowerPoint, photos in contact records, etc.
A refresher on how NVFS actually works under the hood (and why Windows Mobile is playing catch up)
Why are so many people paranoid about the durability of the LifeDrive hard disk? This is the Zen of Palm: It's taken until now for PalmOne to make a device with a hard drive because it's taken this long for hard drives to be ready for mobile devices. If you don't believe me, ask an iPod owner.
Contrary to popular belief, Garnet does multitask.
An answer to Jack Swinden's list of things a mobile device must have. Yes, Jack, the LifeDrive can do what you want. So can the T5.
The LifeDrive should sell very well, and it's a good size. [ details] |

| Ok. I haven't even downloaded this one yet, and just by the topics alone I know this one is going to be good! I'll be listening to this again on my way into work tomorrow morning. And probably again on my way home.

| Great podcast Jeff!
Just to add, WM5's new 'full-off' feature is copied from the UX50's shutdown feature.

| Alan,
After I posted the 'cast, I went out for a burrito (posting this from Chipotle, actually), and in the immortal words of John Astin, "I'm feeling MUCH better now...."

| That's good. I'm listening to the podcast now, and I can feel the words hitting me all the way from Chipotle.

Yup, this just confirms my theory that PDA addicts do not sleep.
Responding to next post: A little birdie tells him. Probably a programmer for PalmOne or something.

| BTW? Where do you get all this info from?? I'd like to know
What do you think about Streaming video on Palm in the future?
Also, my UX50 (which now doesn't have working WiFi) cannot use Bluetooth and WiFi at the same time. Are you sure about this?

Most of it comes right from public sources, hence all the hyperlinks in the shownotes. The difference between me and other pundits is that I probably spend 6-8 hours a day, every day, reading about this stuff. My poor brain...

I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty confident. It's just a hunch, but given the way PalmOne handles Garnet's networking, I can't see any technical reason why this wouldn't work. | |

I see streaming through WiFi as an audio only thing. What apps support streaming video for Palm?
I don't think that Bluetooth and WiFi will run together because they are considered Network connections. In Palm OS 5, you can only use one network connection at a time. IR is not considered a network connection, so you can use it while using Bluetooth. Any TH55/E users out there to back me up

Parce qu'ils aiment l'argent. Chipotle est plus cher.
<secondary switch>
Porque tienen gusto del dinero. Chipotle es mas costoso.
