...have to be set last in an update command when using the ADO library.
It took me 2 days (actually it took me up to the point where a friend said "oh yeah, set those last") to find that bug.
Better interface to input information...

Speak To Your Palm

...like everyone else posting here, the application of the "advance" Palm is talking about doesn't seem that impressive. Bring the thing with you; that's why it's so small, so you don't have to leave it at home.
That said, the big thing I can see getting excited about here is a voice-based interface to the Palm. The whole "graffiti" interface has always seemed far too slow for me, and the "tiny buttons" RIM hardware/software interface too kludgy. Having a kick-ass voice-based interface would help me use the palm, enabling me to quickly input the data I want to. It doesn't necessarily have to be 100% correct all the time, either. As long as it can pick up good approximations to the names i'm speaking into it and can pick up letters and #s easily when I need it to put something important in properly, I think the inclusion of a voice-based interface would make a PDA actually useable; maybe i'd even buy one.

...maybe now we'll finally see VBA support for Linux.
