Today’s issue of USA Today has a great column by Kevin Maney – a man with a great eye for new media applications.
It’s hard to believe that 10 years have gone by since the Palm was first introduced. My Treo was invaluable on my recent trip to China (where it worked like a charm). I’m always amazed at how quickly people adopt to new technology and how quickly it becomes a vital part of our daily lives.
I actually had one of the first Palm Pilots that is now buried somewhere in my basement along with my Wangwriter word processor, a Kpro PC, an Osborne PC, a PC Junior (the peanut), one of the original IBM PC’s, a 128k Mac, and an early Dell laptop. Someday I will open a museum that showcases all the hardware and gadgets I’ve collected over the years.
Ted, China and Asia have always facinated me since the day my Father opened a trunk of treasures he brought back from the region in WW2. ISPs could take a step forward and produce software for Pocket PC 2003 Second Edition and Windows Mobile v.5.0 devices in addition to the Treo 700. I am reasonably sure there is an expanding market there but very limited software availability.
heh…I’ve got a commodore 64 sitting on my desk over here in CC3.we’ve half-jokingly suggested I should set it up and get it working.
Ted — thanks for the mention. Wish I still had my old Compaq luggable to add to your museum…
