Palm Releases New Tungsten T2

Posted by simoniker on from the you-could-be-miiine dept.

securitas writes "Palm has released its latest PDA, the Tungsten T2. The T2 features a Texas Instruments 144MHz OMAP 1510 ARM processor, 32MB SDRAM (29.5 available), 320 x 320 transflective TFT display, wireless communications including Bluetooth, email client, SMS, and web browser, Palm OS v5.2.1, and MP3, video playback, and photo software. It will set you back $399. You can read more about the Palm Tungsten T2 and get tech specs (PDF) at the Palm site. Press release here. More at CNet, PC World, Infosync, the Register and the Inquirer. I'm not sure how many people will buy this product instead of waiting for its newly acquired Handspring Treo 600."

  1. Sad news ... Stephen King dead at 55 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    SCO License Fees Would Hurt Linux Market
    23 July 2003
    George J. Weiss

    The SCO Group has copyrighted Unix System V and asked Linux customers to pay license fees or risk being sued for intellectual property (IP) infringement. Take a methodical and cautious approach to future Linux deployments.

    Recommendations:

    • Contact SCO to discuss its claims, compensation requirements and your potential future liability.
    • Organize a review board that audits and documents all Linux installations by kernel version and server roles.
    • Delay deployments of application and database servers if they involve critical applications that must be unencumbered of IP infringement claims. You can fence off such systems from the license obligation if you have deployed Linux strictly for basic infrastructure roles (such as firewalls and simple Web servers) that do not require the 2.4 kernel or its SMP capability.
    • Determine whether Unix or Windows will provide functions equivalent to those of Linux deployments.
    • Investigate outsourcing, system integration or other relationships that transfer license issues to the third party.
    • Don't ignore the problem by hoping IBM will win or settle its lawsuit (that could take a year or more). An IBM win would not prevent SCO from pursuing individual claims, which, if successful, could cost far more in penalties than buying a SCO license would. If you find SCO's case compelling and you use few instances of v.2.4, pay the license fees.
    • While the actions by SCO are pending, take a go-slow approach to Linux in high-value or mission-critical production systems. Instead, keep pursuing your Unix and Windows strategies.

    Why do you hate ESR so much? Are you insecure with yourself? are you made because he gets more attention than you? We can talk about it in therapy if you'd like.

  6. News@ 9: Nigger athlete rapes white suburban girl by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    This is the girl brutally raped by said nigger athlete

    Liberals are torn on whose side to take on this debate.

    On one hand, you have a vulnerable young girl who was brutally raped and a typical liberal train of thought is that the domineering male is guilty until proven innocent.

    On the other hand, you have a criminally inclined nigger being accused of a crime. Typically, it does not matter to the liberal even if said nigger has admittedly committed the crime. The nigger is not to blame, white society is to blame for "forcing" the nigger to live in the urban city. White society is to blame for "forcing" the mother of said nigger to have bastard nigger children and white society is still to blame for this nigger wench not getting a job and attempting to make a better life for her family.

    Round and round it goes, where the liberal hypocrisy stops, nobody knows.
