Palm

CES is over and from what I have been able to read Palm could very well be returning to prominence with the new Palm Pre. You can check out a nice preview at MobileCrunch. Link here http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/01/09/palm-pre-hands-on-the-movie/. It might be a bit pricey however I will have to see the final “in store” promotion.

 

I could be very interested in this if it is provided by Verizon since I am kind of locked in there; phone and Air Card (which works well from most anywhere including Starbucks where I am today).

 

I have to also admit that I am getting into the Google Chrome browser. I have always tried the new “things” that come down the road so that I can comment to others my thoughts (for whatever they are worth). I started to run into a small problem with IE8 when going to Google so I went to Chrome and I the problems disappeared. The problem also occurred within my company using one of their computer’s and IE6 so I download Chrome in the office and away goes the problem. Personally, at the office I think it is something they have “switched” in their install so i would not blame that on Internet Explorer.

Speaking of “New Things” I was not successful in acquiring Windows 7  yesterday as I had to work. I guess Microsoft had issues with being overwhelmed with desire for the OS also. With only 2.5 million downloads being made available I suspect that I will miss out on this. It was going to be my primary reason for adding a Virtual Server to my desktop so that I could see how both would work but alas not enough credentials I guess. I will keep trying.
