PDAs Help Hotel Guests 02/19/2004 03:25 PM

CareDecision will install its ResidenceWare platform in as many as 65 hotels in the New York area: The deal will start with eight hotels in New York City, including a Days Inn, Quality Inn, Comfort Inn, and Super 8. The platform includes a PDA in each guest room that interacts with the hotel manager over a Wi-Fi network. The PDA can be embedded in the wall behind a screen to avoid damage. Guests can use it to order food from local restaurants, arrange for laundry to be cleaned, and buy tickets for tourist events. The first implementation will include 600 PDAs and ultimately CareDecision thinks the deal will include installation of 5,800 units....

Bloglines for Connected PDAs!


Bloglines for Connected PDAs! 01/19/2004 12:51 PM

"We are pleased to announce the beta version of Bloglines optimized for connected PDAs. Simply go to www.bloglines.com using your Palm or Windows CE powered PDA, and you will automatically be transferred to the optimized version of Bloglines. You can also access the PDA version directly by going to http://www.bloglines.com/mobile . The optimized version of Bloglines contains fewer graphics and simpler pages for fast loading and easier navigation on PDAs. Now it's easy to stay up to date with your Bloglines subscriptions while away from your computer." [Aggregators Yahoo! Group]

Testing it now! Have my prayers been answered???

Update: yes and no. Bloglines on my Treo 600 is fab-u-lous! I started out by testing five feeds, and it looked goooood. Next I loaded my current list of subscriptions from Radio and displayed all 244 of them in the desktop version. Just as I was going to view them on my handheld, though, the BlogLines server went down. I'll try it again later and post another update, although this does point out one of the problems with relying on a hosted aggregator that is out of your control.  :-

Of course I'll be paring that list down quite a bit to show only the more important ones on my T600, but so far I'm quite happy with my original test of five feeds. The screens are as efficient as those in Hand/RSS in terms of usage of screen real estate.

I'll have to play with this some more, but label me verily impressed! Two problems stop me from completely switching to Bloglines, though. The first is that I don't see a way to do a chronological view of feeds on my handheld, and the second is that there is no way for me to post to my blog from within BL, a feature that is critical to my ability to maintain my site. If those two features were added, I would switch aggregators in a heartbeat!

Aren't Cellphones Annoying? And What's

08/19/2004 07:35 AM

nw_col_spat_samuelson_021704.jpg imageThere was a time where I thought my career was going to be in that sparkling sugarplum factory known as "computers," but reading columns like this one by Robert J. Samuelson has convinced me that my career in "journalism" is much more suited to my desire to string lots of curmudgeonly words together and get paid for it. This week's insightful column? "A Cell Phone? Never for Me." You fight that power, Samuelson. (I especially like the part where he notes that he has also "resisted ATM cards, laptops, and digital cameras." This is the part where Zombie Thoreau puts down his cell phone and slaps the wax out of him.)

So that's journalism, I guess. I can't wait until I'm old and can write columns for Newsweek like, "What's Up With Mustard?" and "Holo Porn? It's 2D for Me."

What Are Kids Using Wireless PDAs For?


What Are Kids Using Wireless PDAs For? 08/31/2004 05:28 PM
Ok, there really wasn't all that much to comment on concerning yet another article about kids in schools being give n handheld computers and set up on a wireless network. Obviously, it's nice to hear that the program is going well, and that many of the teachers and students find the benefits to be even more than they expected. My point in posting this is just to note that for all the wonderful educational benefits of the system touted in the article, the photo they include pretty clearly shows someone playing solitaire on the device.
