appointments, Web browser bookmarks and Keychain onto your iPod and

SafeKeeping option that backs up your ISP settings and other custom

requires Mac OS X v10.3 and will run as a feature-limited demo until
you purchase a US$14.99 registration key.

05/10/2004 10:24 AMShareware developer Ibizzi has released a contact manager application
that will aid users of Apple's iCal, Address Book and Mail.
Crm4Mac acts like a
central repository for your email, contacts, calendars and other types
of documents you wish to keep track of, allowing the user to view, add
and edit information from one application. Information added or
changed in Crm4Mac is stored in Apple's iApps, so it will still be
available to you if you decide not to continue using the application.
Crm4Mac is currently in public beta testing; downloads are available
from the developer's Web site.

10/29/2003 12:10 AMAddress Book under OSX has never been a particularly impressive
application, but it's just about worked as a system wide piece of kit.
Panther brings with it a number of changes and improvements and a
couple of nasty unprovements too. There's some functionality here that
I can't categorically say wasn't in Jaguar, so bear with me if
I foul something up:
- Every card in Address Book can have a picture associated with it.
This is not new. However previously you were just able to pick up a
picture and drop it whole onto the hole allocated for it, where it
would sit greatly diminished in size and essentially unusable.
The version in Panther introduces the lovely resize and crop
functionality that's been in iChat AV since the beta. Very
nice indeed;
- The edit functionality now lasts when you change cards
which is a good change. Previously editing an card meant entering it
individually and clicking on the edit button. Now the edit button will
remain depressed until you release it. It's not the UI approach I'd
have taken, but it pretty much works;
- The edit interface itself is a bit of a dog's dinner. The
previously understated and probably not very clear grey + and
- buttons have now become garishly red and green, the edit
screen radically indents everything and moves stuff around to the
extent that it's difficult to see what's going on and where your
information has been moved to. An approach that highlighted the
information rather than the labels might have been better;
- Also noticed for the first time is the 'send updates'
functionality - which I'm sure has been there for ages. It appears to
be a way of informing everyone in your address book of any and all
changes to your personal address card. I'm interested, but too scared,
to see how this might work...

Palm Tungsten 3 Update
12/11/2003 04:55 PM
PalmOne have released a
T3 Update which fixes some SD Card issues and an audio
interrupt problem which caused the 400Mhz processor to run at slower
speeds -- typically hovering around 260Mhz.
WARNING: Be sure to backup first! Yes, I know you're always told to
do a backup before an update, but this time it's for real. The update
flashes the ROM, giving all your settings the boot -- and I mean _all_
of them. To be sure you're backing up, open your Palm's HotSync
Manager, select Hotsync > Conduit Settings > double-click
Backup, check the Backup radio box, and click OK. HotSync. Do the T3
Update per their instructions. Come back to this dialog box and
select Restore from backup, then HotSync again to put everything back
as it was. You may indeed see some of those old appointments and
todos re-appearing if you chose to Save a Copy on the PC when you
deleted them somewhere along the line.

Tungsten E2 Official, Reviewed (Verdict:
Nice Palm, So-So PDA)
04/13/2005 08:57 AM
The
PalmOne Tungsten E2 is official and it looks like a pretty decent deal
for the price, although its conspicuous lack of Wi-Fi should not be
understated. The E2 retains the 320 by 320 pixel display, although
PalmOne claims it is "brighter" and "richer," and adds built-in
Bluetooth for connectivity. The processor has gotten a bump, too,
moving from a 126MHz OMAP to a 200MHz Xscale. Otherwise, it doesn't
appear to be that different than the original Tungsten E. The best
news is the price, which remains a reasonable $250.
