samsung has more info on the sph-1300 pda phone at their site. english measurements and some discussion in relation to m505 @ palminfocenter

other interesting tidbits… looks like the sph-1300 has a software grafitti area, which can turn into extra screen real estate. what’s interesting is that samsung is also a ms partner w/ a stinger phone coming out at the end of the year apparently… looks like the smart phone war is starting to heat up.

The top two cell phone manufacturers –- Nokia (NOK) and Motorola (MOT) –- plan to release PDA smartphones that run on the Palm OS by next year.

of course, that’s why the m505 has no wireless. fcukers.

hmm, interesting, must have missed this earlier, phone.com + software.com = openwave (looks like they even made money last quarter)

so, i went to sleep at 6pm last night, and just got up and showered, which is cool because i’m more or less rested, which hopefully should get me all amped up for this weekend, which should be tons of fun (read: working every minute i can on tons of different unrelated crap that needs to get done).

been really busy over the past few days. work, school work, etc. plus my network’s been down since saturday w/ dhcp funkiness. the fix ended up being uninstalling and reinstalling the adapter.

hmm, so i just installed groove… and well, it sorta sucks. it has some really nice features, but the whole opening tons of instantiations of transceivers is sort of annoying and confusing. that’s by itself wouldn’t be a huge problem. what really makes groove useless is that it’s “shared spaces” 1) makes a complete copy of itself, and 2) makes a complete copy on other people’s machines. so, if i decide to make a file space and invite some friends, it will 1) make a copy of every file i share into it’s own data directory, and 2) when the invited friend connects, it will completely max out my hd/network bandwidth and transfer the whole thing to a friend. it has no concept of local/remote copies, shared resources etc. well, i guess i’ll wait and see what opencola‘s folders does. i talked to the companie’s founder, cory doctorow at sxsw (yeah yeah, rsn)

i noticed on /. that 3com is pulling out of making internet appliances. interesting fizzle going on… also, it looks like 3com’s web cam’s getting canned too. maybe that means i can buy one on clearance for cheap…

in other related news regarding wireless net access, here’s some palm info:

…before the end of this year Palm will release a successor to the VII series with a higher resolution screen and real-time e-mail reception. Palm will use the experience Sony has gained with the Clie and combine it with its own experience with the VII series to create a model that is better than it could if it was working alone.

interesting… google search for pilotwarez – xml in action it looks like…

as if i didn’t have enough to worry about, i just read this new scientist article,The Omega Man, and my head is now about to explode. enjoy, and pass it along. basically about gregory chaitin’s extension of turing’s halting problem, and the discovery of omega and super-omega number, which defy calculation.

the randomness of the digits of Omega imposes limits on what can be known from number theory–the most elementary of mathematical fields. “If randomness is even in something as basic as number theory, where else is it?” asks Chaitin. He thinks he knows the answer. “My hunch is it’s everywhere,” he says. “Randomness is the true foundation of mathematics.”
