This is true. However, the folks on the newsgroups who are replacing their batteries are doing so with higher capacity Toshiba batteries... Although I only...

Actually, there's a $40 off coupon from Staples that can be used. Don't ask me for the URL, though. Search the Vox board at Brighthand. And there's a $50 (I...
Did you do the Twist on it?! Did it go into Hold mode for you too? Did you try the Linuxed Zaurus nearby? I like its keyboard vs the NR. ... ===== Mike Cane ...
No, I didn't. I was looking at it from my narrow point of view, and exploring how I would use it, which is why I checked out the screen (I like!) and the...
I got my first good look at a new Toshiba e310 today, and I thought I'd share my impressions. First off, this thing is tiny compared to other Pocket PCs! It...
Quote Mike: "Really, I think these PPC to Palm converts are really people who wanted to stay with Palm all along. In other words, they should have never gone...
Hello, I subscribe to far too many mailing lists, Forums, and newsgroups to read every post in any of them. I rely on the SUBJECT LINE to tell me which post...
... Well, such a device wouldn't be the Windows CE Pocket PC as we know it today. I think the new oQo device makes a compelling case for an XP-based Tablet PC...
... Agree. I think that the markets for the T6XXC and the NR are different. ... I found to be easy to thumb type on, of course being a long time HP200lx user,...
I still the major flaw with running ANY os on such a small device is that the interface is not designed for the stylus input or ease of use based on this form...
... Could not the device simply be designed to handle multiple display screens? It seems to me it would pretty easy to have a device like the OQO have a...
There's already a full-fledge WinOS device -- the PCPhone. I saw this at some trade show a few months back -- you can't read the screen without damaging your...
... Hmmm... I'll have to try CT on it. ... As it turns out, Toshi "cheated" on the original connector. Cables have these "pods" in the middle of them to...
I don't think it'd work. When I last tried it, the unit was already fried. I've also been told that the NR crashes if you try to Twist while it is processing...
Go on, pelt me with eggs! They don't even have to be fresh! Jeff was right: what I had been seeing was *Cleartype*. Damn, it was nice. I now don't see how ...
And I got the impression you really liked this NR creature. Sony certainly makes nice hardware, but it is time it grasp the simple notion that less is more....
Well, you're talking to someone who wants to dump "simple" PalmOS for -- er -- "not simple"(?) PocketPC. I think the NR has created a new category in-between ...
... Perhaps but Toshiba's cell phones and note PCs have decent battery life. It might also be Sony's pproblem as Sony is a major litihium ion battery maker....
Just did a side-by-side with the Vox at CompUSA. The e310's screen has a *very* blue tint (the Vox is near-white). Plus, ClearType on the e310 is *blurry* ...
Fictionwise takes an unusual approach to selling ebooks: sell the reading public what they want at prices they can afford. Fictionwise started in 1999 as a...
... Which is an idea that Alexlit <URL:http://www.alexlit.com> had at least a couple of years before they did. Alexlit was the big pioneer in e-literature...
Okay, my "four-part series" on making ebooks work has grown to six parts. I feel like Douglas Adams. At this rate, Sony will release the replacement for the NR...
... the ebook front? Should I cover Blackmask? AlexLit? Pocket PC Press? Ken Mattern's site? MobiPocket? Hello? Is this thing on? I think you'd be doing the...
Amazing freeware just came out. This adds a slew of keyboard Ctrl commands to Pocket Word, so you can do things like italicize or bold words just by using the...
Actually, the point of mentioning the PD sites is that a lot of people use those as "gateway ebooks" learning to like ebooks without spending a lot of money....
... Well, may be not a new NR but it wouldn't surprise me if Sony released a new T series machine or a successor series in a few months (hopefully with a...
Fictionwise definitely "gets it" in regard to eBooks. They also "get it" when it comes to marketing and site design. Fictionwise has, in my experience been...

As long as the new HP iPaq has the screen clarity and battery life of the existing Jornadas, I really don't mind. ... From: Shannon T. Baker...
I might -- emphasize the slimness of that "might" -- be converting a PowerPoint presentation into an ebook. This has raised a variety of questions in my mind: ...
