Friday, October 04, 2002PPCW: Replace your proprietary PDA battery.
Laptops for Less is branching out to sell PDA batteries. They have replacement internal batteries for several HP, Compaq, and Palm models. They also have a universal external battery that packs a whopping 3500mAh @ 5v. It weights 8 ounces and comes with a belt case, four connectors, wall and car chargers for $69.
allNetDevices: e911 Pros and Cons.
infoSync: Motorola touts new GPS chip. Single-chip GPS in a 7x7mm package, supposedly sensitive enough to work "under dense trees, in a parking garage, or even a chop shop."
infoSync: 1xRTT and GPS from Verizon, Samsung. The a310 features GPS-based e911 functionality and is available now from Verizon.
I've been wondering for a while now if GPS-enabled cell phones will work with PDAs. The carriers are likely to drag their feet in rolling out location-based services, and their early offerings are likely to be corrupted by their need to derive revenue from them. Not to mention the inherent usability challenges...
