I finished up my presentation slides and demo code on Thursday night, so I’m ready to go next weekend. This means I can reward myself by sitting down to finally play something other than Hexic on my Xbox 360. My lovely wife purchased me the Call to Duty 2 game for my Christmas present, and I picked up Knights of the Old Republic (for the original Xbox, but is compatible with the 360).
I’ve sent off my LS800 for a memory upgrade. This was a big complaint of mine about the system, the memory is not user serviceable. Some people have braved opening this cram packed chasis to update their memory, but I felt more comfortable sending it off for the work. Motion Computing now has a disclaimer on their web site when you purchase the LS800 saying that the memory is NOT updateable after the point of sale.
So Verizon Wireless is carrying the new Palm Treo 700w, which is a Windows Mobile 5 based smartphone. When another consultant sent me an IM with a page link to this device I thought, this has to be a joke. A Palm created device running WM5. Well, it’s not. The phone looks quite good and isn’t that expensive compared to some of the newer smart phone devices. I would be tempted to buy this, but I am wondering how/if Verizon has hamstrung it.
