Tomorrow Ruth and I head to my grandmother's house in the Upper Penninsula. There won't be any posts here until I get back next week. Until then I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

News: The OmniSky Is Falling... The OmniSky Is Falling "I hate to be a Chicken Little about wireless service provider, OmniSky (NASDAQ:OMNY). But the company is literally hanging in mid-air Tuesday after the company failed to file its latest quarterly earnings report and gave no indication when it would." Trading on Omnisky stock has been halted until they file the papers. Right now they are still open for business, but who knows how long that will last.

Network Computing: "Most IT managers and software developers with whom I've spoken have come to the same conclusion: While PalmOS may be adequate for personal-information management and simple applications, Pocket PC is a superior platform for mobile-application development."

Microsoft moves on weakened rivals "Michael Mace, Palm’s chief competitive officer, attributes Microsoft’s gains in market share to 'spin.' avid Nagel, chief executive of Palm’s platform-solutions group, adds that Microsoft 'has always spent three times as much on marketing as on research.'"

Let's not give Microsoft credit for developing a better product, or take blame for doing nothing with our own product. The blame game is afoot.

Compaq.com - iPAQ Pocket PC options I was doing a little spelunking at the Compaq web site, and came across a rugged case for the iPAQ that I had not heard of before. You have to have the iPAQ in either the PC Card or CF Card expansion sleeve, but it only costs $99 and appears to provide a good amount of protection.
