Teh shiny!

[compilerbitch]

I have just ordered one of these:




I've been missing my old Handspring for years now, and increasing life complexity is making me miss a decent to do list thingummy that I can carry in my pocket. I've also been hankering after an iPod (or something similar), so this should do double duty. Basically, it's an up to date Palm with a nice transflective TFT screen, a 4GB hard drive and a 600 Mhz ARM CPU. The bundle on offer at the moment includes DVD ripping software, which makes it possible to upload movies. It has bluetooth and WiFi and does proper IMAP email with offline synchable folders, which is great for me since I have WiFi nearly everywhere I tend to be.

I can't wait for it to arrive!

Yay that is so shiney!
It's higher spec than most PCs were a few years ago too.
Wanting wanting... But no! no! Bad Nick!

I keep looking at buying a new PDA, but possibly a shiny PDA/phone hybrid, so that I make sure I carry it round all the time. (My usual trick is to forget to have it when it would be useful.) hoiho likes the Tungsten W he's got, but I've been vaguely tempted by an old Treo.

None of them, however, are as shiny as this PDA, with all its gadgety goodness. Bah.

I love my little Infiltrator (Palm Tungsten C), but that is very shiny indeed.
