Treo 650 as a USB Modem
Is your Bluetooth DUN crippled? Or do you not have bluetooth on your laptop and you'd like to use your Treo 650 as a wireless modem? USB Modem is a new application from Mobile Stream that enables the Palm Treo 650 to be used as a USB modem for your desktop or laptop computer. It currently works with Windows XP and the developer recommends you try it first to confirm that it will work with your mobile operator. GPRS/EDGE and CDMA Treo 650s are supported. The program retails for $24.95 and there is a free trial available.

Looks like the Nokia 770 is going to be abandoned by Mike in favor of an Origami unit!?!

RE: Mike Cane sighting over on Palm Addicts!
Any chance of returning to the mothership (aka POS) anytime soon?
Did you ever actually BUY the 770 or was it just on extended evalutation loan?

RE: Mike Cane sighting over on Palm Addicts!
Total freebie from Nokia. If I had paid for this mfing ps, I'd be angrier. It sets the standard for teh suck.
Now go back to your life...
RE: Mike Cane sighting over on Palm Addicts!
Say what you like about the cat pictures, but palmaddict.typepad.com is regularly getting 50,000 hits per day (so they say). If that's right, that would be more than what PIC is getting. Aside from the cat pictures, their content is generally pretty good in terms of news and user stories - and I think it is more compelling than the boring 'Palm is doomed' comments we have seen so much of over here. YMMV

RE: Mike Cane sighting over on Palm Addicts!
Ryan still runs the best Palm/mobile news site out there IMO but, as always, YMMV. I think it really requires a triple daily dosage between PIC (biz/insider/commentary) PA (rah-rah fandom & obscure news bits) and Brighthand or 1src (technical know-how or troubleshooting) to get full sampling of Palm information online. Look at it this way---I've never submitted anything to PA and just read that site. I occasionally post on BH and read it on a less-frequent-than-PIC basis. I frequently post & contribute to PIC and visit it several times throughout the day.
I just get aggravated at the incessant travelogue & kitten pictures when I am trying to view PA on a dial-up connection on my laptop or, even worse, via Blazer on my TX. Do you know HOW large a full PA page is? Many mobile devices run out of memory long or give page errors long before the entire PA page has loaded. I still remember Sammy's wild ranting & glowing review over the LifeDrive which was what prompted me to buy that miserable sod last summer--never have I ever been so disappointed & disenchanted by a piece of mobile tech, especially a POS handheld.

Everyone acts like the world consists of Treos &GSM networks only
At the VERY least I want to be able to dial into my backup Earthlink dial-up account @ 14.4 using my V3c (Verizon) as a MODEM. No EVDO, no 1x, no tethering. I just want to maintain a Palm --> CDMA phone as modem connection via Bluetooth.
Is that too much to ask for?
Dmitry etc.....$ awaits!
