MobileMe: Not as bad as people say…

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Since its launch on July 11, 2008, the “new” online service from Apple had a bumpy start and reviews have been negative overall… even Walt Mossberg says that “Apple’s MobileMe Is Far Too Flawed To Be Reliable”.

Mobile email with a Palm T|X

Monday, January 16th, 2006

After using my new Palm T|X for a few weeks, and as a follow-up to my previous blog entry, here are some thoughts about the good, the bad and also the ugly when it comes to this little device.

And overall, I am really happy that I don’t have this brick in my pocket all the time anymore :)
