Rummaging through the feeds, here are a few tidbits from around the Lifedrive universe. Included are a few off topic news stories:
Foleo II ??
Alan Grassia runs a blog called Foleofanatics and seems convinced, on account of some interesting wording in emails sent to people who are currently beta testing the Foleo, that we have not heard the end of the controversial product. Apparently they have been told to send the devices back to Palm, but the interesting statement in the email read, "...A Foleo II will have different hardware..." leading to speculation that Palm is not about to abandon the current device.
Perhaps an increase in Ram, SSD memory and more features might be in the offering. Perhaps Palm will just pull out all of the stops and 'just go for it!' Max it out with as much technology as possible and hit the ball out of the ballpark. Interesting read.
Changing User Name on a Lifedrive without a Reset
A question asked on the Palm board recently requested this over the weekend. The solution can be found here: Solution ID #24485
Business Week trashes Palm
Business Week, has seen fit to predict the demise of Palm Inc. Although many good points are made about the company, there appears to be no redeeming value in the article as it rehashes the developments already expressed in more interesting blogs (ie. Engadget, Palmaddicts).
My take: As long as Apple continues to use web based apps, instead of native apps, I will not be purchasing an iPhone anytime soon. Additionally, several medical apps run natively on the Palm Pilot. I cannot exactly migrate somewhere else that easily.
Screenfreeze and lukewarm batteries.
Over at Palm's own forum, there are some interesting thoughts on the lukewarm battery issue and the freezing of Palm on a single screen. Interesting reading, but even more interesting answers.
Society of Teachers of Family Medicine now want money for Shots
Well, last year, I wrote about the Shots program crashing dismally on the Lifedrive. However, I thought it was a super database program that gave excellent information FOR FREE. If you decided to use the version of the software that contained the pictures of the diseases, your Lifedrive would crash, but if you just ran the No-Pictures version, then you would be fine.
Well, it's no longer free. It appears that Skyscape is now at the helm, still using STFM to drive sales of the 2007 updated version for 14.99 on Palmgear.com
Is it worth 14.99?
