  • FlyJacket more news:

I talked about this new Expansion Pack a few weeks ago. Well, here it is, coming to the US....
"Video/VGA Output
By connecting either a projector, a VGA monitor or an analog device (TV, composite, S-Video) the user can achieve a larger video display for presentation or demonstration purposes directly from an iPAQ.
Video Input
Various video sources including VCR, VCD/DVD players, and DSCs may be used as a video input source for the FlyJacket. A user can either preview or record a full motion video and grab 'snapshots'.

FlyJacket

Built-in CF slot
The CompactFlash card expansion slot on the FlyJacket serves as a useful and convenient solution for reading and writing data to the iPAQ without the need to switch between several packs.
Battery
The FlyJacket is equipped with a rechargeable Li-on battery that provides it with self-sufficient power. The battery has the advantage of charging directly from the iPAQ charger.
IR Remote
The bundled, pen-sized remote controller has been specifically designed to perform the task of 'Page Up' and 'Page Down' for Microsoft PowerPoint file presentations in conjunction with the FlyJacket. Plus, the opposite end of the remote control is equipped with Laser diode to serve as a pointer during presentations.
Availability
The FlyJacket packaging is being sampled now and will be available in volume in mid-October 2001. The product is expected to be available through the company's global sales team, as well as selected on-line distributors at a $199 USD retail price."
Looking good! Check out the official site here.

  • Just as a note:
    Today, I just felt like a brick hit me in the head, when I found out about comments from another news site about smaller sites like PocketPCpower.net. I just wanted to clarify... I cannot spend that much $$$ for hosting or website development or a dedicated server or message board, I don't have that much time to look for the latest news, and update the site, I'm not a technical writer per say, I do quite a bit of reviews, and above all, there really aren't many people helping me out (I'm the only one working on the page though I do get some help from other Pocket PC enthusiats for reviews)! I also find the need to add news not as important since other Big Dogs are already posting the "common" stuff!
    So, if you think that the site is disappointing, then it's fine with me! I'm not here to gain popularity/hits (the less the cheaper...) but rather inform people and provide as much help as I can on the passion I have for Pocket PCs!
    I hope this is clear enough, and now, let's back to some real news!

  • Mobile learn:
    If you are planning on visiting France or Spain but are not familiar with the language, you might want to consider Mobilelearn, a spoken word application that will let you choose preset sentences and automatically play them through the speaker.

  • Why yesterday's news was so limited?

Yesterday's news was indeed quite limited! I just didn't have the time posting anything more. I have been working on several new reviews but mostly running some tests on Pocket PC 2002! Yes, this is it! My iPAQ has finally been upgraded to the new OS. I must say, quite impressive. Microsoft did a lot of work and Pocket PC 2002 is worth the wait. I still have some concerns that I will soon share with you for a full "first-impression" review of Pocket PC 2002! For now, here is a little screen shot!!!

    Today's news is limited. Indeed, after some computer problems I haven't been able to add too much but rest assured, some fresh news and reviews are coming up! Just as a note if you were wondering what happened, I caught one of these stupid Nimda worms (no damage, thank God), and then blew up one of the pumps (for those new to the site, my server (not the one from the site) is water cooled!

  • Casio to joins the pack:
    Casio is talking about its new line of PocketPCs. The new models will most likely use a 206Mhz Strong-Arm (I'm shocked!), SD/MMC slot and... dual CF!!!

  • "You can run, but you can't hide":
USA Flag This is with difficulty that I am slowly starting to work on the site again! For almost a week now, chaos has entered our lives. There are no words to describe the terrible events that occurred.
Our deepest wishes go to all people that suffered losses in this tragedy.
Being in NYC myself, I have to be honest and tell you that I had (and still have) difficulties cooping with

the situation.
As I walked out of my apartment on Tuesday night, I could see the smoke rising out of ground zero, streets emptied out and the same look of despair on everyone's faces.
I shall always remember September 11 of the year 2001!
Now rescue efforts are undergoing, and with the hope of finding survivors diminishing day by day, it is time to think about the future. What will happen? As the President of the United States mentioned, "we are at war".
I suddenly feel the blood rushing through my veins. This is the time, time of revenge. No more innocent lives shall be taken, no more terrorists shall remain on this earth. I can't explain the anger that I have been feeling during the past few days. I am glad of the true patriotism that has filled our country, and the true hope of justice.
I have been thinking about what will happen, but as days go by, the fear seems to intensify. Can this be real? I haven't been sleeping very much since the crashes, and sometimes, think that I might still be in a delirious state where I'll be waking up and none of this would have happened.. THIS IS REAL! We will now wait and see, hoping for the best...

These are the heroes of a true Unites America....

  • New York City will never be the same:
    This has been one of the most horrific days of my 24 years of life. I simply can't find the words to express my feelings and thoughts about these terrible attacks! It will certainly take a few days before I post anything else on the site, but I sincerely hope to see you coming back to our site when things calm down a bit.
    I would also like to offer my condolences to the families of those that lost their lives in this tragically!

    That sounds very cool."Dual operation with 4-bank architecture is employed in order to enhance flexibility. 8Mb + 24Mb + 24Mb + 8Mb bank architecture enables efficient simultaneous read/write operations, taking into account that the ratio of code and data storage may vary form application to application. In addition, while program or erase operation is carried out in one of the four storage banks, read operation from any of the other three storage banks is possible. Two 8Mb-storage banks contain 4K-word x 8 boot sectors, covering conventional top-boot and bottom-boot architecture in one product."

    I just found out about this today browsing through the Belkin website: it is a USB charger for iPAQ. For less than $20, you'll be able to recharge your iPAQ through USB and also synchronize it(similar to the Sync-N-Charge cable reviewed here). One great little feature is that it comes with cigarette lighter adapter (I think)... so you can bring it on the road :)

  • Enters Pocket PC 2002:
    This is already old news! I guess I should have try to get myself invited at the Microsoft meeting on the West Coast... Well, I was not!! :(
    So for now, here are some pretty interesting screen shots. For a complete review, go here.
    The most interesting features:
    DRM5 compatible Reader, you'll be able to beam to Palm, cellphone and pretty much any IrDA device, you can customize Today's screen using Themes (guess Dashboard isn't going to like that too much), there is Terminal Service Client, Word has a spell check (and word count), IE becomes IE4 (better access with XML support... also Java Script 1.1 will now work... That's cool!) LAN access, and many many more cool features!!
    I will report on that more as soon as I get my iPAQ upgraded (for $30, that's really worth it. Think about it... when you upgrade your desktop, it isn't free either!! Well, I think it's only a small fee to pay for the great work that Microsoft did on this new OS...).

  • iPAQ upgrades:
    Last minute info from Compaq! They just announced the availability of a Pocket PC 2002 upgrade for the H3600 and H3100 series. You'll have to spend some $30 to get it (free if you got your iPAQ after September 6 and before November 30th). Pre-orders start on Sept 17th but it won't be shipped until mid-October! As far as inside news, there are some more rumors:
    A new iPAQ H3800 series is being talked about. The new series will (from an unknown source) feature a SD Slot in addition to the current CF slot, multifunction buttons, the speaker will be placed on top... and it will use the same Expansion Pack as the current model!!! Compaq will also be selling a H3700 series that will be similar to the current H3600 but will have Pocket PC 2002 already installed (no word on wether it will have 32MB of ROM). Voice recognition might be an option!!! All that is speculation but I wouldn't be too surprised!!! More on that should come from Compaq around October 4th.
    That's too much news in one day for me!!! One good thing about the upgrade is that you'll be able to choose wether or not you want to install MSN messenger (I don't use it... so, I don't have to install it!!!).
    More info on the upgrade here.

    Here is a nice little calculator that deserves a note! Aidem Systems Inc. just released it today. This is a simple scientific calculator but it is free!!! Ha, don't you love that?? Anyhow, we're slowly getting there, but I shall say that I am still waiting for a TI92-like software application. And if you are asking, the answer is yes, I have to carry that sucker with me (TI 92 plus)... no wonder why I love to see application such as this little one! Anyone for a TI92 emulator? Or just some program able to handle multi-variable functions (plotting would be a plus!)!!!

  • New iPAQ, what's the deal????
    Rumors, rumors! I hate that so much. But here it is: from a French executive working on the PocketPC team at Compaq France, there is some bad and good news!
    Bad news: if you had purchased your iPAQ before September 6 (yeah, that's tomorrow) then you might get charged to receive a Merlin update disc (ahh, like it's not gonna be posted for free on the web anyways!).
    More bad news: the older iPAQs (the one now!) only have 16MB of ROM, apparently not enough for the new OS. So, what to do????? Should I send my iPAQ for ROM upgrade (Note: PCE2000 does that and charges $179.... not cheap though they will do a great job doing the upgrade!). Should I buy a new iPAQ???? NO.... STOP... Keep reading
    Good news: the programs that won't apparently install in ROM will easily fit on RAM! What that means: you'll have to install (by yourself, like a big boy) applications such as WMP, transcriber (wait, that's already in RAM isn't it??) and some others... Voice recognition, maybe!!! What would be smart to do.... I couldn't stress how nice it is to have a big storage devices, thus upgrading to 64MB or even 128MB would be nice!!! You can get your iPAQ upgraded to 64MB for dirt cheap nowadays so why wait?? Well, at least wait until the 6th, Microsoft will unveil its new PPC OS and by then we should be a little more sure about what will happen next...

    This has to be the biggest news so far. The giant HP has bought Compaq for a mere $25 billion! Will the iPAQ be renamed? Probably not for a while but the merge will save both companies $2 billion a year!! Not a bad deal.

  • iPAQ remote:
    Here is something I was waiting for: a TV/VCR/Stereo remote control software. This application will let you control your TV or other audio video equipment with your iPAQ! Awesome... too bad it's not compatible with my Sharp's equipment yet!!! Note that several PocketPC versions are available though the iPAQ was the only one tested!!!
    Check it out here.
