Quickies: i705 at CompUSA, Palm_Talk, Stylus

Posted By: As Listed Sunday, January 27, 2002 12:19:32 PM

The Palm i705 is now listed on CompUSA's webstore, though it's not yet for sale. -Anon

Pocket Anywhere has permanently shut down its long-standing "Palm-Talk" Yahoo Group. A member of the old group has created a replacement called "Palm_Talk". -Greg Gaub

A Japanese company named Princeton Technology will be releasing a stylus with light at the tip for the Sony N and S series and the Palm m500 series. The light is turned on and off by turning the end of the stylus. It uses a replaceable Lithium battery which will last for 12 hours continuous usage. It also has a reset pin. It Iwill be released in Feb for 1,800 yen (about $14). There is no word yet on availability outside of Japan. There is an article about it in ZDnet Japan. -Eugene

Wow, Palm should be officially announcing it any time now. The CompUSA site says that the i705 is in stock in all of their stores local to me (Northern VA).

I played with one at the CompUSA today..I wasn't impressed. Seemed much bigger than I expected. But then again, I am not in the market for one..was just in desperate search for a M505 serial hot sync cable

Yeah, but you would expect it to be a little bigger with the increased screen size and color screen.

Oh wait... I forgot, it's the same old Palm crap.

Staples got them on display!!

just got back from Staples and they already have the new i705 out on display. The sales associate said that they have only 2 more. They also have the mini keyboard for the i705.

WOW a Palm Lovers Dream!
Stock before announcement or even web sales!
Even displays to try before you buy!
Now my only wish would be...that I wanted one....

Light Tip Stylus

I already saw one of these at Best Buy. Must have been a different manufacturer, but it was a stylus with light at tip. Pretty dumb I thought unless you are maybe a Coal Miner.

You probably saw Saitek's Light Stylus, a very similar product. You can read more about it here:

U know what i think, i think palm is doing this cuz they dont want to have to test their product, they have showen they dont care about customers with the m505, lol, they are going to sell these and then when people call in their problem, i wonder if there will be any, they are going to get info about the problem, or just tell them the product is not released yet, lol, "Oh, we dont sell that yet, call back when we anouce to the world what that we have this product" I know i am just rambling on and its B.S., i hope, that what i think, if u cant tell from all the stuff i wrote, i am an unsatisfied palm owner

-Unsatisfied "I hate my m505" palm owner
