I believe you're out of luck. From what I understand, they are replacing the ROM and that can only be done in Palms with Flash-based ROMs (i.e. the IIIxe, IIIx but NOT the IIIe).
Ex-Palm IIIe owner (replaced it last week with a Handera 330).
A good example of why I'm glad we're allowed to record others (especially cops) here in Canada. In this case, it was a 3rd party recording this video.
I don't have a link to the actual video but I've seen it and it's perfectly clear (as seen in the photo) the cop was slamming the woman's head into the cruiser when the other cop wasn't looking (he was offscreen, to the right).
I believe subscription models are best for selling content - that is what I want. I hate the thought of paying 1-50 cents for 500+ pieces of content I view each month! When I want content, I don't want to think about paying for it each and every time because it makes me think 'do I really want this content?'. Subscription models work best as I have already paid and can just enjoy the content without worrying thinking about $.
In the cable world, I pay a subscription fee and get to watch all the TV I want. It's a great model as I don't have to worry about getting my credit card each time I watch a show, I have access to an unlimited amount of content (they don't tell me I can only watch 5 shows a day) and if I really want something not available through my subscription (like pay-per-view boxing) I *can* buy it.
The Internet, for last last few years, has been much like cable TV (almost). I pay my ISP (cable provider) and get access to tons of content that is free (to many, it feels as though they've already paid for the content by paying their ISP and should get access to the any & all content).
While an AOL model seems great for me, I don't like the idea having my content provider and ISP in one (that is almost exactly the cable industry). I want the freedom of choosing my ISP and choosing where my content comes from.
As for the company/group offering subscriptions, I personally want content from both traditional content creators (i.e. Disney, AOL Time Warner) and small, independant content creators. If I could have access to both, as well as maybe have access to other useful value-adds (i.e. email, calendar, etc) I'd sign up (I think Yahoo would be perfect for subscription models of content).
I also agree.
I think the biggest problem with the use of 3D is that it focuses too much on individual units, because they spend so much time making them look so pretty and plastic. The sense of scale and grandeur appears lost; the view seems quite focused on small battles, giving you a harder sense of the overall war which takes part in each level and loses the fun of group warfare/manouevers (i.e. flanking, special purpose units destined for specific mini-missions, etc).
I noticed Icebox (www.icebox.com) is already using this system!
Almost everyone at Icebox is from the TV world and, as we've seen, ideas from the "old economy" does not always port well to the Internet. What's interesting about this company is that they have alot of expertise in creating content but not making money off of it.
I believe they were part of a talk at Digital Hollywood on how to make $ from content on the web - but they didn't have a clue! Too bad, they have some really good shows!
It's relatively minor, but I'd really appreciate it if my drug prescription would be printed out from a computer. Often times, I walk out of my doctor with a note that appears to be written in some dead language. I don't know how pharmacists can read them (I guess that's why they always call the clinic knowadays).
Interesting you note that Australia is meant to be a testing ground. Many companies view Australia's smaller neighbour, New Zealand, as an ideal testing ground for new products, services and (genetically modified) food. It's perfect because they have a small (4 million) but diverse population that is isolated (I think they are about 2-4 hours away by plane from Australia).
When it comes to new products and services (i.e. a new type of shampoo), the focus is marketing studies to see if consumers will accept it, etc.
What other companies wanted to do was test their genetically modified food in NZ and it caused an uproar, because it had more to do with marketing studies. Imagine this genetically modified (GM) food made people, animals or plants sick and/or die. In the eyes of these companies, it would only affect a (relatively) tiny population and therefore it would be acceptable to risk them.
BTW, in Canada, I play $40 CND for 1 MBit DSL service and the core competition here is not between DSL providers, but DSL versus cable.

Neither do ANY of the Handsprings!
