This is the first Garmin GPS watch that actually looks like a normal watch! (The others are moderately big and not as sleek.)Amazon.com still …
I used to read on my Palm PDA when I have time to kill. Reading short news articles on the Palm was not much of an issue, but if it's an ebook, then it's a bit more difficult because of the small screen. Still, I managed to read Animal Farm for the first time on the Palm.More than a year ago, Amazon.com released its first ebook reader utilising a …
A few moments ago, the postman delivered the latest TIME magazine to my mailbox. I was quite shocked to see the Olympic flame on the cover. Didn't the opening Ceremony just happen not too long ago?

I have been a fan of Palm for over 10 years now. 2 years ago, they introduced the new webOS, the operating system of my current Palm Pre Plus phone. Last year, HP bought them over for US$1b dollars.
