If microsoft managed to keep an Xbox 360 Phone secret right up until a month before CES, that would make it the best kept microsoft secret of all time…

I have no idea if they have a phone

A phone from Microsoft? The jokes write themselves.

After subjecting so many phone designers to the agony of working around the bugs in Windows Mobile, it would be in keeping with Microsoft’s character for the behemoth to bring out a phone using the other companies hard learned lessons to crush the competition.

I think it will be a long while before we seen a significant new MS phone.

Palm OS? Too little, too late. They should use their brand name to bring great devices and software to the major phone platforms – beside MS of course.

Why so much talk about the second most important tech show during January?

CES? Don’t go to it. Reread my post.

#9 – MM, if you only KNEW who Paddy-O really was, well, you’d kick yourself – REALLY HARD…but, then again, you do that already.

I read your post the first time. It was a waste of time re-reading it. You said that you hate the Wynn Hotel, and the there’d be a lot of shrimp left over.

You never mentioned not going.

Makes sense, though. Probably the only thing happening in Vegas that you’d be interested in would be the tittie bars (if you could afford them, on that Radio Shack salary).

For a minute you had me worried, Miss Lee. Reading “Paddy-O really” for the first time, I mistook it for “O’Reilly”. I though you were going to tell me he’s really Loofah Pad O’Reilly! Now THAT would be scary. The last thing I need is some perv leaving me voice mails about scrub-a-dub-dubbing me in the tub-a-tub-tub me with his Loofah Pad. Eccch.

Creepy.

And I think I know enough about Paddy-RAMBO from his postings on here to draw my own conclusions as to who is “is”. And it’s not a pretty sight.

I never mentioned CES. Reading is fundamental ya know.

>>fundamental ya know.

You got me on that one, Paddy-RAMBO. I assumed that when you were talking about Showstoppers in Las Vegas, you were talking about the CES show.

Silly me.

I know you’re only interested in the tittie bars in Vegas, so I guess you’ll be heading over to the Wynn to scrounge some of that leftover shrimp.

The dark knight: Biggest turd since Catwoman and everyone’s praising Heath Ledger because you’re not supposed to say bad things about dead people.

Would you trust your browsing history to a company whose revenue stream depends entirely on advertising to you?

Palm is the best OS I own.

- It goes for months without crashing. (Years, maybe!)
- It boots up in less than a second.
- It uses very few resources, letting me focus on the application.
- I never have to mess with it.

That being said, it’s long overdue for a full update — PALM, PLEASE DON’T CHANGE ANY OF THE ABOVE!

I always get afraid when companies “improve” something that is currently working well.

My one suggestion: change from synchronizing to drag-and-drop.
