Previous meeting Minutes
Once again we have a positive reference for Palm Ultimate Guide, now in second edition. First editions are available at a discount at some local bookstores.
We had several demo copies (beta versions) of YODLEE to review prior to the meeting. This is a program that keeps track of numerous accounts, like stocks, bank accounts, frequent flier miles, and the like, and allows for updates to your Palm PDA. This looks like a very potent, powerful application with a high potential. We have some security concerns about any internet based apps, and were hesitant to endorse this product for all our bank accounts and stock holdings. We also we concerned that the program doesn't clearly identify any item that has been updated in the memo list. At any rate, you should check this out yourself if you have a lot of passwords and accounts to keep track on.
AVANTGO again is mentioned for a handy way of downloading information to your desktop and transferring it to your Palm device to read later. Like the Wall Street Jounral online edition?
Subscriptions to TAP magazine can be made through the Barnes and Noble website, according to one user. Apparently the also provide a weekly newsletter format in PDF as well
One of our VISOR users mentioned a 6-pak module from Innogear.
A COLOR PALM? Rumor has it that 3.5 test builds of the PALMOS contain code that references 160x160x8 bit displays, which implies color to some of us. We don't know what the hardware will be though. News suggests that the Palm V is phasing out, with the Palm Vx becoming the best seller. (February 22, 2000 brought the Color Palm OS 3.5. March 2 brought the Palm IPO.) Xerox is pursuing the claim to the fundamental basis of Graffiti as their intellectual property.
