PalmOne Inc. is expected Wednesday to release an update to its most popular handheld with the introduction of the Tungsten E2. PalmOne was loathe to change too many details on the popular model, which was its best-selling personal digital assistant (PDA) in the U.S. during the holiday shopping season of 2004, said Raj Doshi, a product marketing manager with PalmOne. The Milpitas, California, company installed a brighter display, Bluetooth wireless technology, and flash memory on the unit, but left many features of the Tungsten E intact, he said.

PalmOne Tungsten T5 and E2 Rumors, Pics

PalmOne Tungsten T5 and E2 Rumors, Pics 08/30/2004 06:26 AM

So when I mentioned that we had some older news that needed to be revisited, this is basically what I was talking about. Some of the first information about the PalmOne Tungsten T5 and E2 PDAs has come to light, and while there's lots of interesting tidbits (rumor, of course) like the T5's lack of a slider like the old one, I think the most notable bit of news is that both of these will finally be running PalmOne's BEOS-influenced OS6. There is also a planned (rumored) OS6 update for the Tungsten C and T3 after the new T5 is released in April of next year. Looks like good stuff.

It is a little sad, in a way, to see Palm's form factor sort of giving up the ghost and moving to a PocketPC-styled slate, but really, it makes total sense. The silk-screened Graffiti area was really played out, and if OS6 does everything it promises to do, we'll want every bit of screen real estate we can get.

Keyboard with 512k of memory, 700h

Keyboard with 512k of memory, 700h
battery life 08/31/2004 01:55 PM
Cory Doctorow: The AlphaSmart Neo is a full-sized keyboard with a little LCD screen on the top. It acts as a word-processor, letting you type into its 512k cache while it draws power from 3 AA batteries. When you get back to your Mac or PC, you just dump the text over USB or IR. The thing runs for 700 hours on a 3 AA batts and costs $250, and weighs about 2 lbs.

My only complaint about this thing is the storage: 512k? I know that's a whole novel and then some, but geez, flash-RAM is so cheap now -- why not just give it a SD slot and I could use an old 64MB card from my last camera? Link (via Engadget)

Update: Chris Taylor points out that AlphaSmart has a model that supports memory cards -- and it comes with WiFi and PalmOS.

EraTech EMP-100, EMP-110 Flash Memory
Players 07/07/2004 09:29 AM

The EMP-100 and 110 are the newest flash MP3 players from EraTech, the people who happen to make one of the only flash memory players I'd like to own, the EMP-ZII (the one that looks like a little egg). Both these new players look fine, too, as far as flash players are concerned, with MP3 and WMA support, simple displays, and USB 1.1 interfaces. Actually, now that I think about it, that's sort of wimpy. The main difference between the two models is that the EMP-110 has an integrated USB port, like a flash memory key drive, while the EMP-100 requires a separate cable. I4U has an EMP-100 in their review queue -- expect to see that soon.

So yeah, these are just USB flash memory card readers, but I'm a sucker for tight design -- especially when it uses the sort of played-out but still delicious grey-on-white soft cuddle robot color scheme (coming to a HGTG movie near you). These two readers from Hagiwara Sys read MemoryStick Duo Pro and miniSD, respectively (well, if you're looking from left to right).

Pretec has announced what they are calling the 'World's Fastest Flash Memory Card,' a 2GB giant that uses the MMC 4 spec to transfer 4-bits of data in parallel with write speeds up to 18MB/sec and read speeds of up to 22.5MB/sec. Even better, the card is backwards-compatible with previous SD/MMC devices, albeit at lower read/write speeds. To give you some perspective, those speeds would make the 2GB Pretec card about 200 percent faster than the fastest SD cards available on the market.

Flash memory takes a licking and keeps
on remembering 08/02/2004 03:02 AM
Flash memory cards (CompactFlash, Secure Digital, xD, Memory Stick and Smartmedia) are nigh-indestructible (I once put a brand-new Exilim digital camera through the laundry: the camera was toast, but the SD memory survived and is still in use today!).

The one question I have is how these things fare against time itself, given that CDs and DVDs tend to delaminate, tapes crumble, and HDDs' bearings seize up -- it'd be great to have media that you could bury in a time-capsule for a couple decades with confidence.

They were dipped into cola, put through a washing machine, dunked in coffee, trampled by a skateboard, run over by a child's toy car and given to a six-year-old boy to destroy.

Perhaps surprisingly, all the cards survived these six tests.

Most of them did fail to get through two additional tests - being smashed by a sledgehammer and being nailed to a tree.

Macworld review: Flash-memory MP3
Players 05/26/2004 09:03 AM
When Apple's iPod burst onto the scene, many people who previously hadn't thought about buying an MP3 player snapped to attention. Flash-memory–based players had been fairly inexpensive but very frustrating to use with Macs. Now the hard-drive–based iPod and iPod mini are the best-selling MP3 players on the market. Given this new context, we decided it was time to look at the alternatives, for people who are on a tight budget and who just want to use a player at the gym or during a commute, and not for storing a huge music collection.
