I see what you mean. Well, this reminds me of one incident where my friend commented on my newly puchased HP laptop. He said: "Man, HP computers are not good, they crash a lot and they get slower after time." That's Bullshit. As you know, it's the problem with Windows and cheap hardware. Same applies to your friend's issue. Handspring runs on Palm OS just like almost any other PDA out there does. It has the same processor as quite a few Palm/Sony handhelds. Maybe his friends just got unlucky and installed a bad software, or a poorly written hack, which might have caused the error crash when he started the big application you mentioned.
But nonetheless, he has his own reasons for hating Handspring. But then maybe Sony will come up with a newer PDA that full-fills his dreams, which will also cost him around a price of a laptop.
Handspring is the ony way to go. I've been a Handspring lover since its company started out. Their springboard design allows various kinds of modems to conenct, wired to a phone jack. There are several speeds to choose from. Not only can you surf the net and check email, you can also sync and backup your data back to your local computer (home computer). Are you sure he doesn't want Handspring at all? It can bring him a long way and he might like it eventually. I already have an mp3 player module for my Handspring Visor Prism, a GPS module, a camera module, a digital recorder module, and many others. Why doesn't he like handspring? Is there a main reason? I would really like to know. You can contact me at:

Whethey they can eavesdrop or not, it doesn't matter. Terrorists have their own "word subtitutions". They can speak a whole fscking hour of attack strategies and the eavesdropper (listener) would think they're discussing something about Barbie dolls. The government knows this, so there must be another reason for informing the public.
There was even several movies of him demonstrating his invention. His name is Ka ping Yee. I remembered he used optical tracking for 3-D precision. This isn't news to me. It has been around for a year.
The Ph.D student at UC Berkeley has already done this. There was a story on him on Slashdot a coulple months ago. "handhelds with virtual windows".

We had a mini-review of the Treo 600 at: www.palmzone.net
The phone is much more narrow and sleek than the current Treo line. It runs Palm OS 5.2.1 and has a built-in digital camera and a Secure Digital slot that is capable of both memory expansion and SDIO. The Treo 600 will have 32 MB of memory. The screen is brighter and smaller than the screen of the current Treo with better visibility outdoors. It will have a large capacity battery that can run the phone for up to four hours, although the battery is not user-replaceable. The Treo 600 will be able to use the CDMA or GSM/GPRS standards.
Handspring showed a prototype of its next generation Treo 600 smartphone at a Sprint PCS show recently:
Handspring earlier this month demonstrated the Treo 600 at a Sprint PCS User forum in Dallas:
This is the last handheld from Handspring before it was acquired from Palm, Inc. I believe that Palm saw its potential, and instantly bought it off. Quite impressive I would say. Jeff Hawkins was originally Palm's CEO, but left to open up Handspring during 1998. It's nice to see him going back. =)
I'm a 16 year old and I have ADHD (without the hyperactivity though). So basically stare out at the windows and day dream, or maybe I just go blank in space. Although this is a disadvantage at school, I do the best possible by sitting WAY in the front of my classrooms. I also let my teachers know my situation. Therefore when they see me going off they woulld maybe gesture to me or walkby a put a hand on my desk for a silent signal.
In school I'm one of the few people who makes the best multimedia presentations for school projects. I usually make incredibly creative webpages, bring my laptop the next day, and put it on a projector for the class to enjoy. It seemed to me that people with ADHD (or ADD), works much better when they have multimedia support, that means images, videos, audio, etc. Usually plain text gets me nowhere. I'd say that ADHD didn't effect my technical adversaries at all. In fact I think they're really creative.
I attend the San Francisco School of the Arts. I major in Piano. Piano is one of the hardest subjects to study for me. Sitting down at the same place and practicing for an hour or two daily, is not an easy thing to do because it requires so much attention and concentration. So what I do is I only practice at the first 15 minutes of each session, then go do something else, then repeat the same procedure. This way I can ensure that I'm getting the most out of each session. After 15 minutes I usaully begin to focus significantly less.
IMO, ADHD (without the hyperactivity) helped me in the arts. It has helped me develop a very passive and dreamy personality. I feel that this kind of personality plays a big role in studying the arts (Piano, in this case). ADHD has also helped me develop a creative mind for making webpages, multimedia presentations, and whatnot. Teachers and the principal have always enjoyed my web presentations, and the principal have decided that I can take over the school's website starting next year, with a few assistants.
For medicine, I have been taking both of these seperately:
*Dexedrine 10mg *Dextroamphetamine 5mg
Initially, for the 5mg tablet, I've experienced some mood changes. I could feel the "ups" and "downs" quite significantly. When the medicine wore off I would suddenly more relaxed and in a more cheery mood. For the 10mg tablet, it made me even more sleepy at times, but it generally gave me a longer, more expanded time for focusing, at the scrafice of a direct focus (which is what the 5mg tablet does). I've talked with my doctor and since 3 months ago I've been taking the 10mg in the morning, and the 5mg afternoon, for my arts. (We have academics in the morning, and the arts during the afternoon). This has worked quite well.
But now here's the interesting part: My parents and I have decided to give a try at acupuncture. We believe that blood-flow plays a vital role in giving attention and concentration. Acupuncture can make sure the important parts of my body are well stimlated, and hopefully blood will travel through my body and into my brain more regularly. Also I've found that doing excercise really helps the concentration. Aside from the fact that it pumps out adreneline, it puts your mind off to your physical activities for a change. When your mind is done with controlling your blood flood and so on, it's then completely ready to switch back to working anything mentally (especially something that needs sustained focus, like practicing piano, coding, etc.)
According to BBC news, the capture isn't even confirmed yet. We only have a couple of grainy photos of him (we can't even see his face) being held by some military personnel. But again I could be wrong...
Although the newest visor came out at the end of year 2000, let's not forget the clever feature that they all came with - the springboard expansion slot. With over 100 modules varing from GPS, digital cameras, digital voice recorders, language translators, bar-code scanners, mp3-players, CF/SD/MMC readers, digital projector adapters, Personal Massagers (!), to other numerous wireless moduels.
Maybe the newest handhelds today has all the above "built-in", but let's not forget who invented the wheel.
I previously had a Visor Deluxe but now I use a Visor Prism. Although I do use the calenders, datebooks, and other of the built-in software in the handheld, I mainly use it with my springboard modules.
I have an mp3 player for my Visor, so I listen to music whenever I want to (on my Visor with headphones).
I have a digital camera module (eyemodule) for my Visor, so I can snap pictures on the go..
I have a GPS module for my Visor, so I won't get lost and know where I'm going.
I have a digital voice recorder module for my Visor, so I can record music/voice anytime.
I haev the Targus Stowaway Portable keyboard for my Visor, so I can type up reports in class, sync them to my PC, and print it out at night.
I wouldn't say the PDAs are useless or close to the point of being it, but many people and myself included, use the PDAs like gadgets, and not really as a *replacement* for a pen/paper day planner.
1. Palm OS or Winodws CE. Definitely a hard one. With tons of devices operating on Palm OS (not to even mention all the palmware and free source code), it's hard to avoid it. But with the speed-demanding high-end device like the iPAQs, DELL will need the new strongARM (or the X-scale?)processors to fit in the Windows CE's RAM/ROM eating calculations.
2. Expansion: SD/MMC? CompactFlash? Or another one they're going to make up? Here's an interesting article on VisorCentral, they were debating which one is better: http://www.visorcentral.com/content/Stories/1279-1.htm
3. Is DELL aiming at the general public? Is it something that most people can afford? (I won't expect it to be something like the Palm Zire) Lot's of handhelds has left the mainstream neighborhood to the high-end heaven. Making devices up to $600-7000 (one of the HP Jornadas).
I hope there isn't gonna be any "E-value" code the devices this time...(like they won't make it until we order it...lol)
The only company that I know of which sells just the hardware parts for PDAs (motherboards, LCDs, button boards, digitizer, etc.) is:
www.gethightech.com
It's also a PDA service center (for repairs, memory upgrades, etc.) One more thing, they buy used PDAs from people. Gethightech also sells PDA accessories like cases, stylus, keyboards, cradles, etc.) at a resonably inexpensive price.
With a 16-Mhz, monochrome screen, and a 2 MB of memory, this looks like we've traveled back in time. The Handspring visor dlx came out in year 1999 and beats the Zire (although zire has a rechargeable memory). One other thing is no expansion..which greatly limits what your handheld can do. However, this might be one of the dream handhelds for kids or junior high / high school students. With built-in apps, a Palm OS of 4.1, rechargeable battery, and a price of $99, this isn't too bad (for a student).
I personally have 2 handspring visors. One deluxe and one prism. Here are my suggestions to which software are quite useful:
1. Electronic dicitionary. mine is called "Noah Lite", there's medium and pro versions.
2. digital metronomes, musical term dicitionaries, and digital tuning forks for music classes if you have any.
3. The built-in Handspring scienticfic calculator works like a charm. It can change modes of measurements like length, width, volume, area, weight, temperatures, etc.
4. Scientic Tables like the "Periodic table" can be transfered to the Visor and be viewed anytime for Science classes.
5. E-books are good when there's free time and the kids aren't allowed to go out and play. Anything from Sci-fi to Romance. =) Also there are plenty of drawing or paint programs out there that let's you draw right on the screen.
6. There are chess games that let you connect to other players via infra-red. It would be fun to see the kids challenge each other thorugh chess.
7. If you really want the kids to get geeky, there's a springboard module out there from Margi that let's you view color presentations through your visor when you connect it to a digital projector. Well first you have to make the actual presentation on the computer then you hotsync to your visor using the including conduit software when you purchase the "Margi-Presenter-to-go" here's their website: http://www.margi.com/
8. Last but not the least, there are plenty of handspring modules out there for references. Including dicitionaries, translators, medical references, graphing calculators, etc.
All the above *software* that I've mentioned are free. You can download those at these sites:
i have friends whos' names are so geeky that their peers and teachers just would rather give him/her a made-up normal name then their actual geek name.
I saw some comments here about microwaving food like pizza - so i'm gonna post this here once and for all..i wrote this letter to my State Health Department Chair awhile ago, along with a hundred other supporters from my school:
Anthony K. Lam 1826 44th Ave. San Francisco, CA 94122 April 16, 2002
Health and Human Services Chair Ortiz State Capitol California, CA 94122
Dear Health and Human Services Chair Ortiz,
It has been made abundantly clear that the overwhelming majority of Californians do not want microwave ovens - as it can cause serious injuries/deaths and Cancer.
Microwaves quick heating treatment of food substances can lead to uneven and non-calculatable heat distribution in the food - causing so called 'cold spots' and 'hot spots' respectively. Thus germs are often not sufficiently inactivated and eliminated. In tests, histological studies with micro-waved carrots and broccoli, have revealed that the molecular structures of nutrients are deformed by high frequency reversal of polarity, even up to the point of destroying the cell walls, whereas in conventional cooking, the cell structures remain intact.
The anthroposophist A. Bohmert reported the following discovery, that water heated in a microwave oven and other conventional ovens and then left to cool. These water samples were used to bring grain to germination. The grain in contact with micro-waved water, was the only ones that did not germinate. Other scientists have proved that microwaves cause cancer in animals. (Dealler, S.F./Lacey, R.W. (1990) Superficial Microwave Heating. Nature 344: 496.
Motherly instincts are right Many of us come from a generation where mothers and grandmothers have distrusted the modern "inside out" cooking they claimed was "not suitable" for most foods. My mother refused to even try baking anything in a microwave. She also didn't like the way a cup of coffee tasted when heated in a microwave oven. I have to fully agree and can't argue either fact. Her own common sense and instincts told her that there was no way microwave cooking could be natural nor make foods "taste they way they're supposed to".
Bottom Line:
Micro-waved food causes cancer.
One single meal heated in a microwave oven does not kill us, but after a prolonged intake, such micro waved food will cause so many blockages in the body that it will start to rebel. One day the world will wake up to the fact that microwaves do cause cancer, and even worse than cigarettes. Micro waved food causes a slow . In the beginning, superficially, we save a little time in heating up our morning coffee in the microwave oven - but the time we save, we are cutting off our own lives. There is no cure in the world to prevent or heal it as long as the cause remains in our homes and we continue to use these devices.
I strongly urge you to ban out microwave oven products.
Sincerely,
all the facts about microwaved ovens and foods can be found here: www.curezone.com
This somehow reminds me of the famous sci-fi book - Fahrenheit 415 - the degree (451) which books burn!! but the story never said anything about microwave melting metal! one thing that was similar to that microwave was the "wall incinerator" in F451. It's a microwaved-sized object in a wall, you can put anything in it and it burns to nothing. I think we'er pretty darn close to that already.. =)
there's another option if you really can't find a store that caries anime movies is buying the anime movies online. There are hundreds of great anime sites out there that sells movies. Good Luck!
I've been a Blizzard fan since Starcraft came out..now Warcraft III came out already..how about Starcraft 2? Is Blizzard dropping their Starcraft line?
i would like a AM/FM radio module, an eyemodule (or any other camera compatible with the springboard) that has infra-red "see in the dark" function, an adapter for use of mutiple modules.
i have a visor dlx, an eyemodule, and a backup module. Before i bought my PDA i was just like you. (forgetting names, addreses, taks, memos, etc.) but after i bouhgt one thigs became more clear. I'm planning to buy the visorphone module from handspring. The link below is the visorphone page from handspring:
http://www.handspring.com/products/visorphone/inde x.jhtml
cheers,
KeelSpawn
i'm wondering if we would ever expand cellphones to a point where there would be expansion slots for us to like for example, turning our cellphone into a extream mobile gaming device (like with a bigger screen, connection, sounds, graphics, etc.) i mean a pda can do that already, i think a cellphone is certainly getting there.. =)

I see what you mean. Well, this reminds me of one incident where my friend commented on my newly puchased HP laptop. He said: "Man, HP computers are not good, they crash a lot and they get slower after time." That's Bullshit. As you know, it's the problem with Windows and cheap hardware. Same applies to your friend's issue. Handspring runs on Palm OS just like almost any other PDA out there does. It has the same processor as quite a few Palm/Sony handhelds. Maybe his friends just got unlucky and installed a bad software, or a poorly written hack, which might have caused the error crash when he started the big application you mentioned.
But nonetheless, he has his own reasons for hating Handspring. But then maybe Sony will come up with a newer PDA that full-fills his dreams, which will also cost him around a price of a laptop.
All the best,
Anthony
Handspring is the ony way to go. I've been a Handspring lover since its company started out. Their springboard design allows various kinds of modems to conenct, wired to a phone jack. There are several speeds to choose from. Not only can you surf the net and check email, you can also sync and backup your data back to your local computer (home computer). Are you sure he doesn't want Handspring at all? It can bring him a long way and he might like it eventually. I already have an mp3 player module for my Handspring Visor Prism, a GPS module, a camera module, a digital recorder module, and many others. Why doesn't he like handspring? Is there a main reason?

I'm a 16 year old and I have ADHD (without the hyperactivity though). So basically stare out at the windows and day dream, or maybe I just go blank in space.

Dear Health and Human Services Chair Ortiz,
It has been made abundantly clear that the overwhelming majority of Californians do not want microwave ovens - as it can cause serious injuries/deaths and Cancer.
Microwaves quick heating treatment of food substances can lead to uneven and non-calculatable heat distribution in the food - causing so called 'cold spots' and 'hot spots' respectively.

Other scientists have proved that microwaves cause cancer in animals. (Dealler, S.F./Lacey, R.W. (1990) Superficial Microwave Heating. Nature 344: 496.
Motherly instincts are right
Many of us come from a generation where mothers and grandmothers have distrusted the modern "inside out" cooking they claimed was "not suitable" for most foods. My mother refused to even try baking anything in a microwave. She also didn't like the way a cup of coffee tasted when heated in a microwave oven. I have to fully agree and can't argue either fact. Her own common sense and instincts told her that there was no way microwave cooking could be natural nor make foods "taste they way they're supposed to".
Bottom Line:
Micro-waved food causes cancer.
One single meal heated in a microwave oven does not kill us, but after a prolonged intake, such micro waved food will cause so many blockages in the body that it will start to rebel. One day the world will wake up to the fact that microwaves do cause cancer, and even worse than cigarettes.
Micro waved food causes a slow . In the beginning, superficially, we save a little time in heating up our morning coffee in the microwave oven - but the time we save, we are cutting off our own lives. There is no cure in the world to prevent or heal it as long as the cause remains in our homes and we continue to use these devices.
I strongly urge you to ban out microwave oven products.

This somehow reminds me of the famous sci-fi book - Fahrenheit 415 - the degree (451) which books burn!! but the story never said anything about microwave melting metal! one thing that was similar to that microwave was the "wall incinerator" in F451. It's a microwaved-sized object in a wall, you can put anything in it and it burns to nothing. I think we'er pretty darn close to that already.. =)
there's another option if you really can't find a store that caries anime movies is buying the anime movies online. There are hundreds of great anime sites out there that sells movies. Good Luck!
I've been a Blizzard fan since Starcraft came out..now Warcraft III came out already..how about Starcraft 2? Is Blizzard dropping their Starcraft line?
i would like a AM/FM radio module, an eyemodule (or any other camera compatible with the springboard) that has infra-red "see in the dark" function, an adapter for use of mutiple modules.
i have a visor dlx, an eyemodule, and a backup module. Before i bought my PDA i was just like you. (forgetting names, addreses, taks, memos, etc.) but after i bouhgt one thigs became more clear. I'm planning to buy the visorphone module from handspring. The link below is the visorphone page from handspring: http://www.handspring.com/products/visorphone/inde x.jhtml

It's been about 5 hours since the first time i've tried to connect to it...but i still can't..geez..
i'm wondering if we would ever expand cellphones to a point where there would be expansion slots for us to like for example, turning our cellphone into a extream mobile gaming device (like with a bigger screen, connection, sounds, graphics, etc.) i mean a pda can do that already, i think a cellphone is certainly getting there.. =)
