The Return of the Claudia Schiffer Palm ...sort of

Posted By: Kent Friday, February 11, 2005 11:23:48 AM

Lipgloss handheldWe all wondered what would have happened if the Claudia Schiffer edition Palm V continued development rather than being discontinued. Now we know the answer; it evolved into dispenser for lip gloss. Laugh if you will, but this Palm requires no batteries, and it never crashes...except when you drop it on the floor.

Why do I get the feeling Carl Yankowski would have loved this product to go along with his gold threaded suite? -Kent

Thanks to Engadget for the tip.

I hope and pray every day that someone, somewhere, will create a new Palm device, or offer a wonderful new application. But this type of news seems to have dried up. Alas!

Of course, the "good eye" award goes to Engadget for finding this "device" in light of Kent's article earlier this week. :-)

The connector

RhinoSteve @ 2/11/2005 12:56:21 PM # Q
And it has a more mechanically reliable signal port than Universal Connector or MultiConnector!

"Thousands" of colors! ;)

Strider_mt2k @ 2/11/2005 1:26:13 PM # Q
This one has all the colors it says it does, no problems with static discharge, and still sells for the price it was originally advertised for.

They have them with candy on 'em too.

I hope they reach their target market with this one! :)

Hi,
now this is definitely worth a look and a laughter.
It for sure won't have problems with its digitizer, contrast button or power button(the three main V series woes). Lovely product, and even cheaper than the Zire!
Thank you for posting it here!
Best regards

now THAT'S engineering, PalmOne!

joad @ 2/11/2005 11:59:55 PM # Q
....at least SOMEONE is doing some innovating around the Palm platform.


I predict these things will make be more profitable than the T5 and T650 combined (ok, don't hold me to it...).

markgm @ 2/12/2005 8:05:25 PM # Q
Dang, you beat me to the "this is the most innovative thing palm has done in the last couple years" comment. At least we're thinking the same thing.

Carly Fiorina to head palmOne

mikecane @ 2/12/2005 8:51:42 PM # Q
Well, I thought this a good thread in which to start this total lie of a rumor...

RE: Carly Fiorina to head palmOne
RhinoSteve @ 2/14/2005 4:53:57 PM # Q
Naw, Carly is getting out of high tech all together. Expect her to do something more commodity and consumer but not high tech.

OT: Landscape now available for TH55 + other CLIEs!!!

Press release: CUPERTINO, California — February 11, 2005 — Apple® announced today that Steve Jobs will begin selling his own feces to Apple Cultists beginning March 1. Apple's new iPoo™ lineup is expected to easily surpass the iPod shuffle as the company's most popular product. Yes, Apple Cultists can already easily create their own iPoo™, but feces didn't seem cool until Jobs told them it was cool. Remember, kids: the ONLY cool feces is Jobs' highly individualistic, rebellious iPoo™ (coming soon in six different colors/flavors, including the red [hematochezia] and black [melena] U2 GI bleed model)

What a disgrace. That an outside company has to deliver something *Sony* couldn't -- or wouldn't. Or, most likely, Sony couldn't bloody understand the *need* for or even *appeal* of.

Good riddance, Sony!

RE: OT: Landscape now available for TH55 + other CLIEs!!!

I'm sure another company will fill that spot, unfortunately.
Samsung perhaps?

Your ignorance is showing again, Mike. The screen rotation is a brutal hack and won't work with a lot of apps. It would have been a massive support headache for Sony had they compensated (yet again) for inadequacies of rickety old PalmOS 5 by including a similar hack in its latest PDAs. (Newbie calling Sony Tech Support: "Why won't [app X] rotate like [app Y] does? Waaaaaa! Waaaaaa! I'm going to sue Sony!")

Cobalt was supposed to be here a LONG time ago and has built in support for portrait/landscape views. Why hack a solution to something that was (a) not your fault and was (b) supposed to have been fixed anyway? Think about it, Cane.

Have a seat. Biotch.

Another good point is that if you owned one of these Clies, you might be more willing to "play the hand you were dealt", evn while cursing Sony and lauding it's exit from the arena.

Okay, Sony didn't include this feature. That sucks.
But after spending the money I spent on my TH55, 20 bucks is NOTHING to make it like a new PDA!
(with the addition of Graffiti Anywhere)

Also incidentally vaulting the TH55 out even FURTHER ahead on the evolutionary scale of modern PDAs, but I'm highly biased as an owner.

woulda, coulda, shoulda don't count for jack, we have a reality to deal with, and it's been handled pretty well by Mobile Stream's Landscape.
It'll only get better as they refine the application. (with free updates, BTW)

Easy enough to kick at Sony when they've already left.

All I know is this: palmOne could deliver rotation. Sony couldn't. End Of Story.

RE: OT: Landscape now available for TH55 + other CLIEs!!!
Strider_mt2k @ 2/14/2005 9:17:34 AM # Q
And it's been handled by a third party.
Real end of story and kind of the point here.

Hello?

Don't try forcing Cane to admit he's clueless. He's too clueless to even understand that he's clueless.

Mike: I just used a TH55 to do Internet in landscape on a huge, beautiful screen.

You, on the other hand are stuck with a Dungsten E (or has that finally self-destructed on you?).

Don't be jealous, Mikey. Buy a new TH55 before it's too late. You know you want a CLIE.™ Aren't you worth a CLIE?™

Mike, I've probably got a couple dozen PDAs, including around 12 CLIEs. I've used a TH55 since they came out, but usually carry a UX50 with me, since it's so compact and doesn't need a case. Plus it looks cool.

I hope Mistress Hackborn takes you down to The Dungeon and kicks our a$$ for your inappropriate behaviour.


You know you want a CLIE.™ Aren't you worth a CLIE?™
