“I’ve written countless times about a new flash drive claiming to be the world’s smallest, but here’s one that’s a bit different – it’s claim is that it’s the world’s thinnest. PQI has unveiled their new U510 and it’s about the size of a credit card. Just 3 mm thick, which, when combined with its other dimensions of 85 x 54 mm, means that you have a tiny little drive that you could slide right into your pocket or wallet and hardly even notice. Even better, this little card is packed with 16GB of data storage, and a retractable USB 2.0 jack. There’s no word yet on the price or the availability, though the best guess has to be that it will be pricy given the specs” via mobilemag.com
Canalys: Palm is “first” at PDA sales!
“Palm posted slight growth overall, but slipped to third in the worldwide rankings. Canalys estimates that Treo smart phone shipments were up 44% on the same quarter one year ago, but the Treo is yet to gain traction outside the US – a situation Palm will hope to correct with new models expected later this year. Palm’s growing smart phone sales were offset by steep declines in those of handhelds. Globally the handheld segment was down 25%, with the top four players in this field (Palm, HP, Dell and Acer) all seeing year-on-year falls, and the only leading handheld vendor to post growth being fifth-placed Mio Technology, up 7%.” Very interesting tables with the sales of all companies.

Orange SPV M3000 review at infosyncworld
” Capable of sustaining Windows Mobile 5.0 for up to two days with average use, the SPV M3000 plays to the strengths and weaknesses of this operating system which include its broad variety of Microsoft branded applications, best-in-class desktop synchronization and good groupware support for Exchange. Document management, meanwhile, is decent but by no means extensive with Microsoft’s own applications handling the viewing and editing of Word, Excel and PowerPoint files.” Read this review here:

MicroQuad Review for Palm OS
“The difficulty levels are, in ascending order of difficulty; Baby Cup, Junior Cup, Pro Cup, Master Cup and Expert Cup. In a rather frustrating touch, the Baby Cup must be completed to advance to the Junior Cup. I was really hoping to skip ahead to Expert level and see HOW much harder the game becomes. Baby Cup is easily completed but the difficulty is cranked up a good bit in the Junior Cup. Each level include 4 very detailed and varied tracks.” Read the review of this great game here:
