Futurelawyer blogs about something I have been desiring for quite some time. A GPS that integrates with my Treo. Futurelawyer tells us about the Tom Tom Navigator 6. The software and maps of all of the United States and Canada take up only about 1 gigabyte on an expansion card. This leaves plenty of room for podcasts, books, etc. on even just a 2 gigabyte card.
I have got to find some way to get me one of these.
Futurelawyer points us toward a video by Keith from Cool Tools in which he gives a short video demonstration on why the Treo 700p is a great device. In the video, Keith demonstrates using the network dial up and bluetooth capabilities of the 700p to surf the internet completely wirelessly. If you have considered purchasing a smartphone, this is a great video that shows you some of the capabilities.
Is saw this article at MyTreo.net. The article details a new short antenna that is available for the Treo 650 and 700. This antenna is made by a person who got tired of having a large antenna and decided to make his own short one. Once he did so, he decided to sell it to other Treo users.
The author concludes:
“I think there are three groups of Treo users: those that want a shorter antenna on their Treo, those that don’t care about the antenna length, and those that actually like the longer antenna because it gives them a handle. If you fall into the first group and like the idea of a shorter antenna, then I’m pretty sure you are going to love the short antenna. It looks great, it doesn’t have a noticeable impact on reception, and it is incredibly easy to install.”
If you are longing for a Treo 680 because of its slimline, antennaless shape, this may be the solution for you.
