Due to the great response we have had to the blog we have decided that the future lies with an out sourced hosted blog. We will soon be transferring all the content and domain name to a server and hopefully this will not cause any interuption. The RSS feed we have been assured will stay the same so no update will be needed but please if you don’t see any updates from us in 24 hours re-subscribe. The domain name will also be the same so hopefully this will be a smooth transition but will give us the opportunity to offer a much better visual experience in the future.
Thank you all for supporting the blog with your hits
See you all on the other side

Our friends over at TamsPPC site have managed to get some specs on the forthcoming GSM Treo 850.
They have a source within Palm allegedly who has given them the specifications as printed on the packaging, it all sounds pretty believable to us, until that is they mention 32 Mb Ram, surely not!!! We all know that 128Mb is the sweet spot for Windows Mobile Professional devices.
Just changed my car to a BMW 3 Series and I have been looking around for a while at ways of integrating my iPhone with my car stereo so I can enjoy podcasts and my music collection while I am driving.
