When I saw the package with the palm logo at work today. I considered its contents. It was either a palm Centro to test or a huge steaming pile of dog poo. Frankly I was equally excited one way or the other. In reality I was destined to drop the item in disgust after laying eyes on it.
It looks like two Blackberry Pearls frozen in flagrante delicti. Unfortunately for the palm Centro it runs palm OS. From a comparative standpoint the Centro the Treo. The obvious winner is the Centro. Smaller and cheaper this device could actually sell me on palm once more….if I was struck stupid overnight. I expect that palm fans will be excited about the transition, but this pales in the future release of the Blackberry Bold and the rumored Thunder.
The best truth in this device is there is a good chance that palm could dig itself out of its current hole from the myriad of issues with the treo platform. More to come when I have the chance to play with this more.
My new social passion that makes me less social with my friends is Twitter
Well not that I am going to go insane or anything but their sites is down and now I am cut off for a bit from having random discussions with people I don’t know. But that’s all the fun. its like a huge pointless forum chat-room via email. That’s the way it makes me feel anyways. It is also kinda nice to see other people freely discussing their good and bad moments of the day. Reminds me that I am not the only one that has to deal with nonsense everyday. Twitter is gold for this reason. Its simple innocent and honest like a blog. The best part for me is the almost completely mobile nature of the thing. Twitter keeps me grounded that is why I feel it is worth talking about its outage no matter how long.
At this point it is happening to me again today. I can only assume that Verizon Wireless is causing me to lose my connection to twitter. The network is super fast but occasional loss of connectivity like this really drives me mad.
The Answer is a lot. Mids are what I have been looking for in mostly linux based PDA’s like the sharp zaurus. But in the end they always end up rather hard to get to function the way i wanted them to. Still this thing reminds me of a Sega Nomad.
I mean its shinier but that doesn’t make it any less of a brick in the eyes of our lord. Although I am just as excited about getting something like this in my hands as I was my Nomad. The real downfall though will be if you can play WoW on it. Then the zombies will no longer be confined to their basements and bedrooms but roaming the streets.
After a fine day off from work and the opportunity to repair my computer that has been bandaged for a good couple of months. All that is left for the day is to breath someone elsew smoke and enjoy so fine local cuisine. By fine I mean terrible and by local I mean up the block from me.
That aside it is what I look forward to secretly each week. Well maybe aside from the smoke. Tonight will be, if we are lucky, the final playoff game between the Pens and the Flyers. This will only compound the excitement of the evening. 20oz and a fish sandwiche are all I can ask for at this point and our cute waitress will be bringing me those promptly.
