Review of the Handspring Treo

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these!!!
yeah i know, not even close.
So much for Taco Bell's foray into the tech sector, someone else can now boast of having the hot new handheld.

God invented whiskey so the Irish would not rule the world.
I think I've heard of those...
I'll ask the question everyone is thinking. Has it been hacked. How does it do Linux?
It's the 21st century. Where, I ask, is my Jet Pack?
Hello Slashdot my old friend...
I want to wank.
Wank, wank, waaaaank.

Sorry, I meant to say, "that will keep people _employed_."
Obviously what I said wouldn't be too difficult given the current economic climate.
Rant: Handwriting recognition. It'll never work. It can't ever work. People can't read my handwriting. I can't read my handwriting and consequently I've given up doing it for anything more important than a shopping list. And I usually fail to get something at the shops for exactly this reason.
I like that PDA's are sprouting keyboards, and I like the idea of attempting to use a Zaurus or similar for my email, but I'll probably be waiting for a Symbian based phone+pda combination. Once again, bring it on, the money's sitting in my bank account waiting for you to make things that don't suck.

I write a blog now, you should be afraid.
How can you guys be worrying about a stupid cellphone gadget at a time like this? The world is at war. People are getting killed everyday. Suicide bombers blew up a bus in Isreal today. Terrorists are trying to gain weapons of mass destruction that will kill millions of people.
And all you people can do is talk about this crap and tell lame star trek jokes?
Get some priorities people.
Yes, I agree. Connecticut is quite a shithole. Why do you think the hartford whalers left town? They were tired of breathing in all the pollution.
I wish there was a way we could get rid of this state. Can we sell it to Canada? Granted, the majority of Canadians are quite retarded, but are they really stupid enough to buy the shithole of Connecticut?
...and I have a very small penis.
Oooohhh.. sounds like someone is jealous of us Greenwichites. You're probably from Norwalk or some other godforsaken cesspool of lower-middle class scum like yourself. Besides, we put all our cell phone towers in Stamford, but our multi-million dollar 10 story mansions block all transmitions due to the high concentraion of precious metals within.
Do lower middle class scum live in expensive historical houses in Chaplin?
LOL. I hope you are kidding. First of all, I like the blatant classism - cute. Secondly, no, I am from Manhattan - I own an apartment on 66th and Broadway. I also have a place in Boston, where I spend most of my time these days, since I graduated from Harvard here a few years ago. I spent my Thanksgiving at my uncle's house on Round Hill Road in Greenwich. So you see, I don't think I count as lower middle class. I have never even been to Norwalk - the only places in Connecticut I've spent any time at all are Westport and Greenwich, except for going to the Harvard-Yale game in New Haven.
I metamoderated two of the "flamebait" mods on this post to "unfair". Hopefully the idiots who found this to be inflamatory as opposed to insightful (which is what it actually is) will not get mod points for a while. :)
