Celio Corporation's REDFLY Smartphone Interface System Selected
as CES Innovations 2008 Design and Engineering Award Honoree.
Apparently Celio Corp, like me, agreed that the "Folio
Concept" has a market and that the
Foleo makes sense. I was alarmed when Palm "cancel
the Foleo mobile companion product in its current configuration"
the release of the Foleo; am I delighted that Celio announced
the RedFly? Well kinda, the RedFly does not have Wi-Fi, so it
will eliminate some users and uses. Hopefully it will spark a
renew interest from Palm to put the Foleo back on the market. I think the Foleo and the Redfly will have to support a wireless Internet device from carriers like Sprint and AT&T. This addition will open the product of to many users that want to stay connected but do not want to use their smartphone and are out of reach of a Wi-Fi hotspot. The RedFly will support the Palm Windows Mobile Treo, but do not currently support the Palm
OS based Treos or Centros.

Handmark and Astraware have announced a new business relationship in which
Astraware will become part of the Handmark family.
I tried the Slingbox AV this weekend. It worked great on my friend's satilite
system. For my home's basic cable, I would need the Slingbox Tuner ($99) instead
of the higher priced units. The AV does not have a built-in tuner and required
that the actual device be controlled remotely. I decided to go another route for my remote viewing pleasures - Winamp Remote.

Palm Treo 755p ''Coming Soon'' to Verizon Wireless
The Sprint 755p has been out since May 2007 (Dark
Blue and
Burgandy). Many people have asked if I know when the Treo 755p would be
available on Verizon Wireless. Well, I still don't know, but at least they have
provided us with a tease page on their web page announcing that the Palm Treo

I have always been a fan of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) for use in an automobile. I used to own a wired GPS device that plugged directly into my sync port on my Tungsten T3. I loved that little Radio Shack unit that I go from the clearance area for about $20. This was a few years back, and I have has a few device since then. Even if no one had stolen my cars with the GPS unit inside it, the wired GPS device would be useless with my Treo smartphone because the device couldn't connect to the Treo HotSync port. For a few years, I longingly watched the items on many web sites, waiting until on came into the price range that I could justify purchasing one at. There are few different ways to go about obtaining a GPS solution for my vehicle. Would I go with a Treo based solution or a standalone solution for permanent residency in my vehicle.
I am one of those people who don't listen to radio often; however, for at
least a year now, I had been listening to the Steve Harvey radio show on the way
into the office. I commute to downtown Detroit to work on the DOT bus system,
and I had purchased a little MP3 player with an integrated FM radio to allow me
to listen to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Most days I would listen to the
radio; I seldom ever listened to the MP3 portion of the device. It is not that I
didn’t have a need to do so, it was partially to the device’s measly 512MB of
memory and due to the fact that I listened to podcasts, like 1src and the
Treocast on my Treo. Not since I retired my Palm Tungsten T3 and my Sony
Ericsson T610 had I had to carry two devices around.
