Interesting Nokia Technology - Presence-enhanced contacts
You will be able to know the availability of your friend, before you initiate a call, by just browsing your mobile phone contacts. You can put in a short message, fun content like jokes for sharing; emoticons, crazy looking logo as your presence status icon. This is operator-dependent.
Supported phones include Nokia 6230, 6220, 6820, 7200, 6810.
Good flash example.

I've come across this PDA 24/7 article that talks about this new Taiwan phone X-Pro168. It says "This Taiwan phone is made by a Taiwan company"...then later part of the article "Update: Tim has corrected me on this article- "This is produced by a Hong Kong company and has been announced in April 2003". However, this looks exactly like our Singapore Zircon Z3!!. So who is right?

Yesterday I tried out Plucker and JPluck.
I find that the JPluck concept is very similar to ISiloX. If you are a ISiloX user, you should not have any difficulty using JPluck and vice versa.
Benefits of JPluck over ISiloX:
Benefits of ISiloX over JPluck:
Considering the above, I would recommend JPluck/Plucker for RSS sites and ISilo/ISiloX for HTML sites. However, if you have space constraint on your PDA, JPluck/Plucker will do just fine. Furthermore, both the JPluck and Plucker are free.

Benefits of JPluck over ISiloX:
- Supports both RSS and HTML sites
- Slightly smaller output PDB
Benefits of ISiloX over JPluck:
- Better document formatting for HTML sites but ISilo will takes longer time to render
- More advance conversions options

Now you can turn any Palm with the Universal Connector into a mobile phone. Thanks to CarpeDiem.
The CarpeDiem has its own internal battery. It is a smart snap-on that can automatically wake up the handheld when a call or SMS message is received. Even without the handheld, the CarpeDiem can receive phone calls independently.

Sony just announced about IPod Mini. The storage is about 4GB.
However, the price is US$249. I feel that with this price, I rather go for a normal IPod.
I also dislike the sharp corner of the small IPod. However, the skin colour looks attractive.
