  • Nokia Internet Tablet N800 (replacing Creative Zen Stone Plus, Sony MP3 Walkman, and Dell Axim x51v)
  • Asus EeePC 901 (replacing EeePC 900)
  • FX Creation computer bag (replacing the stolen sumdex computer bag)

Still there are some lost items are not yet purchased:

  • Noise Isolating Earphones (Shure SCL2)
  • Stereo Bluetooth Headset (iTech S38)

Also there are some new stuff I want to buy:

  • Canon Powershot SX1/SX10 IS (to replace my Olympus SP550UZ)
  • Colour Laser MFP (Samsung probably, to replace my Brother MFP with clogged print heads)
  • Laser Mouse with micro receiver (replacing my Trust optical mouse with a larger reciver)
  • MSI Bluetooth Keyboard (to be used with Nokia N800) or Stowaway 4-fold keyboard (USB)

The following are much less likely to be bought:

  • Palm Treo Pro (though very sleek and handy but I think I can still use the combination: Palm Centro + Nokia N800 to do what Windows Mobile phones can do)
  • Asus EeePC S101 (very good looking and have much more comfortable keyboard but not yet convinced since EeePC 901 has longer battery life. The most important thing is Asus is keep pushing new models every month so I would prefer wait for a more compelling model)

What do you think?

But I still want to have Palm OS in it instead of Windows Mobile…

I have been using Diddlebug as my alarm clock since it is quick and easy to add new tasks and alarms. However, it doesn’t use the notification manager of PalmOS 5 and it simply prevent other alarms from showing on screen. I then tried to use Tasks from Palm. But it is not as easy as Diddlebug to set alarms. Finally, I found Handyshopper can do a better job than Diddlebug and the Task app from Palm. First, it is easy to assign a category and an icon to a task and filter it by stores (I use stores as projects) and places (I use category as places). And It is easier and more flexible to set an alarm (with 5-way navigation key) than in the Tasks app. I hate using the Palm Tasks app because I cannot set the default number of days befroe the due day of the alarm so that I have to change the number to zero and set the time and I cannot have different alarm sound for different tasks. After I have integrated some lists (so that I don’t have too many lists in the Handyshopper), I now use Handyshopper as my default task manager. If you are like me want to set alarms for tasks and you want an freeware application, Handyshopper should be a good choice. (I still use Diddlebug to set countdown alarms, though)

Sleek antenna-less design looks very cool, but it’s showing a Windows Mobie 5 screen…

Waiting for the next Treo, the better Tungsten X, and even dreaming of PalmOS 6 or Linux-Palm devices to be launched ;-) . We may need to learn to choose “good enough”. We have many (and increasing) choices (like the Pocket PCs and Symbian Phones) in front of us and if we are usually nagged by the alternatives which we do not have time to investigate, we are nagged and delayed our choices. And this usually results in dissatisfaction. Scientific American says, “There is good reasons to believe that overwhelming choices at least contributes to the epidemic of unhappiness spreading through modern society.” It seems that people was happier with the products they bought when there are less choices. Think of the days of PalmPilot, Palm III and Palm V, users seemed more satisfied with the functionalities and accepted the limitations of the products. I am not criticising anyone’s attitude but I just want to voice my thought about how we will be happy (and satisfy) with which handheld we choose to use. We may think of what are our needs (essential) and what are actually only our “wants” (not necessary) and enjoy what we are using, and choose the products which are good enough to fulfill our “needs”. Nothing is perfect, anyway.

Firstly, I tested PalmOS Developer Suite but as I am not familar with the programming style of it, I then switched to SmallBASIC. I chose SmallBASIC because it is very easy to use and have enough documentation right from the menu. I spent the spare time of 2 days and finally made a workable calculator. However, SmallBASIC is not designed as a IDE for developing software for distribution. The program I create have to be distributed as source code and requires compiling before every run. It is not acceptable for my program. I then switch (again!) to PalmPascal which is very powerful. It can compile source code to PRC files and supports programming console programs, hack programs, and even DA programs! However, due to the lack of documentation, the learning curve is very steep, even I already know how to program in Pascal. I hope can complete the calculator application very soon. :)
