Sweet Wireless and Tungsten Impressions

I just dialed in to my dialup ISP using my Tungsten and T68 using Bluetooth as the connection. It worked on the first try. Next step is GPRS but since I have a “bootleg” phone not set up by T-Mobile the settings aren’t right on the phone itself. Some first impressions:

  • The springy stylus is great.
  • I need a SD card (256MB for ~ $60).
  • I’m really looking forward to trying out all the web browsers.
  • So far I’ve used WebPro:
    • It does some interesting content-negotiation stuff, unfortunately it does it badly, causing many things to break.
    • Can’t find technical documentation of its capabilites or methods.
    • From a user point of view though, it works pretty well.
    • Supports some basic CSS.
    • It looks like it may support gzipped content.
    • Update: I tracked down the developers and sent them an email, hopefully I can get some “official” information soon.
  • The size is perfect for me.
  • The directional pad is very useful.
  • With Jot installed I almost never need to open the slider. (Try the demo out.)
  • A lot of Palm software websites really suck.
  • The sound is really good, the speaker can get really loud. It can fill a quiet room.
  • Whoever designed the font on here did a good job. Much better than the one on the Sonys.

  1. sorry, Matt, this has nothing to do with your post, but your random picture is this and it’s a little scary. what the hell were you doing? šŸ™‚ i hope some pretty girl saved you. LOL

  2. That’s actually part of a series where we were doing an action scene picture by picture. I believe that was right after I was thrown over the head of the evil Wu but before I make my (temporary) getaway into a tree.
