Between pushing its touch UI changes to mice users, internal flash problems, memory leaks and general crash oh snap happy behavior, it has mostly become unusable for me. Still looking for a replacement..
Unfortunately for us, and very fortunately for our tracking overlords, the user accessible battery is dangerously close to becoming a sabre toothed tiger. I am almost certain that they will be completely extinct in phones with this chip.
Welcome to the future, where more tech that you own is used against you than is working for you.
Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Somehow, the last few years of this industry, seem to me like we re taking 2 steps forward and 3 steps back.
Never before did I have to adapt to the computer, it always adapted to my way of thinking. Lately, in order to use the new gadgets, i have to forget that multitasking even exists.
Protocols are always going to be wrapped into products if there is any money to be made. And everybody just wants something to work, nothing else, if it is beyond his field of expertise.
An open protocol can never be monetized, except for some support.
The patent office does not care about your patent. Never did, and never will. It just cares about the patent application, its form and fees. It is up to the patent applicator to enforce the patent and ensure there wasn't prior art.
If there was, the spent money on the patent and the lawyers is a waste, but it does not come out of the patent office pockets. Actually, everybody makes money in a situation like this, except for the patent applicator.
I still haven't found an app that can sync contacts and SMS between Symbian, Windows Mobile and/or the Sony Ericsson standard platform. A bit less that 10 years ago I could do all that on PalmOS - the app was called GSMtool - and Ericsson/Siemens phones through IR.
Something that you could try is making your own cloud. Try a VM with Funambol, some say it does work. Haven't tried it myself.
At that time SD was not yet standardised, only MMC card was. But, Sony wanted a memory card and a expansion bus, which wasn't even discussed on the SD front. At the time Sony was selling a camera and a bluetooth memory stick, SD was just beginning to take hold. CF was too big for PDAs and cameras.
Sony needed their own standard since other formats were not advanced enough. And they wanted to use it across the board - in all their products - so licensing costs were also an issue.
Is art a tool? Is art a process? Is art entertainment? I could be any of those, but generally, it isn't. Is is something that conveys artists emotions and state over a period of time. Art is an object of beauty, but it requires creative perception both by the artist and by the audience.

Unfortunately it does break. A lot.

I am also looking for a pricelist. Since shark jumping is so obvious lets transform /. into a premium video advertisement site on the Internet.
No point crying about past good times, lets innovate!
Let me just check my Mayan calendar...
Oh yes, there it is.
Always wanted to try the Uberman http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/4/15/103358/720
Unfortunately, other people that I have to work with did not approve.
Something here seriously reminds me of this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndicate_(video_game).
But I can't put my finger on it.
Easy to store, even easier to search. Location data compresses nicely when you have lots of it.
FUD - Fear Uncertainty and Doubt
Most often associated with Microsoft business practices. Not that MS would make such a remark.
This joke is getting to old. I'll be the first to criticize Sony business policies but SD wasn't specced for what Sony needed for the Clie line.
They HAD to go with their own.
And it looked way better than the wide SD card.

Amazing this progress is...
Obviously using the wrong screen. You are supposed to use a 7" tablet.
Back to the 80's we go...
Oh yes, however dumb it seems at first, it is a very good business decision. This will give them a push into some lower tier markets.
Tweeting from the middle of Atlantic is good for everybody.

Amazing that I stopped following after BX.
And it seems it was just a few months ago...
... and it was written ages ago

It runs on intuition.
It runs on EM radiation from your panel.

You know what?
I still haven't found an app that can sync contacts and SMS between Symbian, Windows Mobile and/or the Sony Ericsson standard platform. A bit less that 10 years ago I could do all that on PalmOS - the app was called GSMtool - and Ericsson/Siemens phones through IR.

Just don't tell this to Sony.
Who knows how many micro explosions would we have to endure every day.
It probably is a good thing, but you are forgetting something.
Developers.
Palm told them to get lost. Broke all compatibility from Garnet to WebOS.
Getting them back now is a exceedingly tough job, after most of them switched platforms. No users and no developers will not be an easy task.
On the other hand, the bes calculators combined with some flair from the old Palm V or Clie lines would make a great product.

Australia IS a bigger target. Probably easier to hit.
Like most definitions today.
But think about it. What purpose does art serve?
Is art a tool? Is art a process? Is art entertainment?
I could be any of those, but generally, it isn't. Is is something that conveys artists emotions and state over a period of time. Art is an object of beauty, but it requires creative perception both by the artist and by the audience.
Do take this with a grain of salt, since IANAA.
Whoever thought this would end differently needs to have his head examined.
Twice.
