Neat new stuff
Nothing particularly interesting has happened since my last post, so here’s some old CS news that I hadn’t seen. Clearly I’m way out of touch.
The Optimus Maximus keyboard actually shipped! One more rare case of vaporware becoming a reality. Check it out. I’d love one. One day when I’m absurdly wealthy.
Now, the RedFly. It’s not for Palm OS, so don’t get too excited, but it’s like the Palm Foleo. It’s a big keyboard and screen for Windows Mobile phones, and it’s only $200. If only Palm hadn’t killed the Foleo. I would have wanted one. Sigh.
My CS598R project is actually making very good progress. We’re about to have a meeting. We’ll have something to show off very, very soon.
I’m looking forward to seeing your iPhone application. I’m glad to hear that you are making good progress.
I watched the Redfly presentation. It’s very cool. I’m not crazy about the name though–it sounds annoying.

I can’t decide whether I want an Optimus Maximus. It seems really cool, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t ever really take advantage if its capabilities – in practice, it probably wouldn’t be any different from my current keyboard. I’d much rather have a wifi-detecting t-shirt.
I agree totally on the Palm Foleo comment, though. One negative review, and they canned the whole project. Sheesh. Talk about lack of corporate self-esteem.

Of course, looking at Engadget’s review of the ill-fated Foleo here, it was way too pricey.
