Kyocera 7135 Smartphone Coming Tomorrow

20Dec02

Errr, later today, according to Brighthand:
Kyocera Wireless Corp. has announced that ALLTEL will begin offering the Kyocera 7135 on Friday for $499, marking the domestic retail debut of this Palm OS smartphone.

I’d never heard of ALLTEL before, and it doesn’t look like their network extends to my local market. Just as well, I’m not ready […]

My broadband provider seems incapable of running a reliable DNS service. It pains me greatly because DNS isn’t that difficult in the first place, and their task is made simpler by the fact that they don’t provide hosting services. Caching and reverse are all that they have to do.

I couldn’t find anything on the Telstra Mobile site.

Deutsche Bahn WLAN

German Railway WLAN hotspots equipped with Zaurus Linux PDA [via MobliX]
My Deutsche isn’t much better than Babelfish’s. It sounds like they’ve got a pilot project offering WLAN access on certain trains for EU5.50/hour, and they have HP laptops and Sharp Zaurii available for loan.
I did my first Blogwalking on Die Bahn with a Palm Vx […]
