Tell me who your @ migo and I'll tell you who you are ... or at the completion of a number of Pocket PC

In the U.S., Britain and Russia have long existed a sort of club for fans of handheld computers, where it is possible not only to share experiences on the use of their handhelds, but also look at the latest novelties. Not so long ago, the regular meeting of so-called British "user groups" Pocket PC, which took place in the center of MSN in London. In addition Casiopeia EG-800 (industrial version Casiopeia E-115), a folding keyboard Stowaway, does not require special recommendations because of their popularity, and several other devices on a kind of mini-shows were presented two new devices that will soon appear on sale in the UK . Especially angliysikm Pocket'manam liked the Palmax PD600C or simply @ migo. This device attracts attention even before his acquaintance with the specifications. Just look at votografiyu! His company produces Palmax Technologies, which specializes in Pocket PC devices and equipment for them. Talking about the technical characteristics, you will notice that the new product resembles iPAQ. Intel StrongARM processor with a frequency of 206MHz and 32MB of memory put it in line with the most promising members of the family. However, there is a @ migo and significant differences from the iPAQ. The first of them - a design that looks more like Casiopeia E-125. Here are just turning the device, you will not find a proper E-125 CompactFlash II socket type. Instead it has a built-PD600C memory expansion slot PCMCIA. Perhaps it is this characteristic makes the device attractive for corporate users, because the PC card slot makes it easy to connect the network cards, Nokia Card Phone or 2GB PCMCIA hard drive for storage of public information. Palmax PD600C screen capable of displaying over 65,000 colors, while the iPAQ only 4096. @ Migo is equipped with a lithium-ion battery, D-button cursor, and the usual four buttons for working with applications. In addition, on the side there are a number of additional useful buttons, such as power button, start menu, and others. There is jog dial, allowing control PDA with one hand. Unlike other Pocket PC, PD600C equipped with wheel adjusts screen brightness. Taking into account all these factors, British users have found that the @ migo a great addition to the market leader in Pocket PC. The new device is sold in the U.S. site UR There and in the UK on Peripheral Corner. The second novelty presented by the London fans, became Sagem WA3050. This is one of the first "hybrid" Pocket PC and mobile phone. If we talk about telephone devices capabilities, this dual-GSM (900/1800 MHz) and GPRS module. Thus, the potential of this device in the 2.5-generation networks is quite large, it has enough "strength and energy for constant synchronization with the database, timely access to email, calendar and contact information. As the Pocket PC device is not particularly impressive. Black and white screen, although with a clear picture, not very comfortable for long life. A 16 MB memory is not sufficient to implement all of the platform Pocket PC. Pre-orders for Sagem WA3050 processed on site. Sources, Materials:

"Camodelkin: Kapka, or handheld hardware-software system with their own hands

C the onset of spring - the pores of hope, change, bursts of creative enthusiasm - HPCru is a new section - diy. Under her banner we offer to meet anyone who does not stop at buying a handheld communicator, a smartphone or any other mobile device of their dreams and continues to independently develop the purchased product in search of the ideal. Accepted for consideration by the stories with photos of the original solutions, including hardware changes, as well as software products of its own production is called "the soul" (not for money!) Who made ​​your life better with a PDA and more fun. In return promise to publish a story on HPCru, and, therefore, known in some circles:) Please send your letters to editor@hpc.ru, but now present to you the first story. Now the world is very small PDA keyboard device that does not fit with my idea of ​​a perfect PDA. Even when he was palmovodom I'm dreaming of a full keyboard. A little about myself. By my life, I "tourist weekend, often traveled to the woods outside of civilization, but to be severed from the virtual world can not. Back in the old days, sitting in a tent and talking in ICQ, I started thinking about an external keyboard for PDAs. Variants with tiny buttons on the case of some models, as well as folding, folding, and other keyboard does not suit me. When it's time to upgrade, I already knew that I needed to be completely happy - USB-host. We are almost at the same time, I began Toshiba e400, Keyboard Dialog KP-102UH and Optical Mouse Logitech M-BT58. Issue with increased energy costs decided fairly quickly, thanks to the use of external charging from four AA batteries. One such kit is enough for one or two charging or three to five hours. "Dialogovskaya" different miniature keyboard and the convenience of a laptop keyboard and a built-in passive USB hub. But typing while the CCP is just lying on the table, it was not very comfortable, and cradle included was not available. Had to invent how to make a stand from scrap materials. Complexity was also in the fact that infrared machines should be in the field of view port of the mobile phone. In this model Toshiba is it outside the box - in the bottom of the left sidewall. Fantasy quiet winter night gave out a scheme of mutual arrangement of devices for different ... The first version of PDA hardware and software system, or, in abbreviated form, Kapka located in the original box from under the keyboard. To cover the box, I cut out the shape with compartments for PDA and phone number of a piece of foam, and closed the cover sheet from the usual black folders for papers, joining together a transparent adhesive tape.

Handheld hardware and software package, Version One

Have passed since six months. During this time the list of peripherals Kapka widened, prompting a desire to modify and "body." The current version is based on the cover of the student's notebook to flip units, freed from the past. Top clip is from a folder, which in life hold the sheet of paper, and now holds the PDA. Availability Stitched Windows Mobile 2003 SE with built-in screen rotation allows you to deploy handheld infrared down to landscape mode, and accordingly move downward GPRS-module:), whose role is make a phone Siemens ME45.

Restyling, second edition

In order not to touch the phone while a voice call, a headset. Active hub Genius UH-401 is powered from the same finger batteries hidden in the roll-stand for hands. To a hub connected to a keyboard, mouse, and Chinese media card reader on the seven types of memory cards. At the request of Kapka can connect and external speakers. This is going to set a few minutes, the main thing - do not become entangled in wires. Before you - its scheme.

New Edge, or The Tale of the American left-handed and steel Visor `e

If you look at the showcase of new products from Palm, Handera and Sony, in them the main emphasis is on the new screens and expansion slots. The changes are aimed at improving functionality and customer value products as compared to previous models. When advertising a new Edge, on the contrary, indicate a compact, metal body, Li-Ion-battery and hinged lid. These features, though useful and attractive, but they are likely to enhance the user experience than are any fundamentally new features. Rumors that Handspring is preparing "PalmV-killer", appeared long ago, but the design has been hidden in mystery. In contrast, new models of Palm, details of which appeared long before they arrive in stores, the first (and probably sanctioned by Handspring) leak occurred just days before the official presentation and launch. It turned out absolutely no resemblance to previous models of the firm. Many refused to believe the first photographer, taking them for fakes. And, although the design has undergone revolutionary changes. But, most importantly, the case has become so flat that at first glance it was unclear where the same now embed modules Springboard. According to the form factor much closer to the Edge Sony CLIE, than to the Palm III.

Housing

Offers everyone a game: grab a Visor Edge, inspect, roll it in your hands, and after 15-20 seconds, set aside. Now try a few words to convey my feelings. Pretty sure have something like: "a stylish, lightweight, thin, metal." Note that this is all the characteristics of the body, rather than the screen. In general, it appears that the development of Edge first rigidly specified dimensions: in any case, no thicker than PalmV, and then later came up with the design and began to fill all available space. Finally got to the following: a rigid frame formed by two plates of anodized aluminum. Sides, push button, the cradle and the slot is made of smoky translucent plastic. The housing may be red, silver and blue colors (red Edge can be purchased only on site Handspring). Buttons on the metal, engraved with their application icons (those just do not wear out), with a pleasant "click". Unfortunately, they are convex rather than concave - click on them the stylus is not convenient enough. Few save the situation that they are recessed into the shell of 1-2 mm, so that if you press the button on the edge, just get in the groove. It is evident that the need to minimize the size of forced developers to go on a series of compromises.

Cession number 1

The first thing that catches your eye is the transfer of IR-port. At all "classical" Visor `ah, he is on the right side on top. At the Edge to move it much lower, so that the palm is now fully closes the window port. If you want to share with someone contacts, Visor have to take as a completely bird-like. I note, however, that this is valid only for righties. If you shift the Visor in my right hand, it is enough to slightly move his fingers up to the body and can be easily "bimkat.

Cession number 2

The second assignment is intended as an original design solution. This refers to the stylus, which is now mounted outside the enclosure. To get him comfortable right thumb holding Visor. In this case, it is conveniently leaves on the tracks.If you pull it differently, then there are distortions and stylus, and strives to slip and fall. One gets the impression that all these innovations devised a lefty (Lefty?) And left-handers.

Concession № 3

External SpringBoard-slot is no longer a designer, but rather an engineering discovery. He tacked on to Edge from behind and kept sufficiently tight. Its advantage is low weight - not heavy lid. But how ugly it looks with the Edge! It is twice as thick (almost like Prism). By the same slot is not suitable Visor'u color. As a result, it looks like a foreign body. Can not say that everything is so bad and uncomfortable. Bringing to market a product that differs from the Visor Platinum, roughly speaking, only flat-hull specialists Handspring everything was left to chance. And, at least, the case was a success. It is very durable. Its design is like the vast majority of visitors to forums on the Visor Edge, and even on the street, he always attracts the attention of others. To scratch coating, you need much effort. Rounded edges cap prevents dust and small debris, often available in their pockets, get on the screen. If we put on the table Edge fastened with SB-slot, the screen will be located at an angle, which is much easier to read.

Springboard

As already described above, connector SpringBoard is designed as a separate entity which is fastened to the hull rear. But in order to attach it there, you must first remove the lid, leaving the screen unprotected. In the sidewalls are special runners, which enters the slot into place and locked. It connects to the Visor `y through a series of contacts that were previously hidden under the hood. Otherwise, it's all the same slot, nothing new. Here you can give some advice: if the module sits very tightly, it is best to remove it along with the slot, and then pull out.

Cover

As for the cover, it is also made of anodized aluminum and weighs quite a bit. Two fixed positions - about 120 and 270 degrees - quite convenient. If you liked the cover on the third model, Palm, then enjoy this one. If you do not like it .... anyway enjoy. She simply does not have flaws. It is very durable, so Edge can be worn in the back pocket without fear of crushing the screen. Selling it can probably only a very fat man. If, however, cover all the same you do not like, it can easily remove and insert a special cap that covers the contacts. In such a case to protect the screen on the Handspring website can be purchased special aluminum carrying case. Yes, and well-known manufacturer of covers, the company Rhinoskin, already offers an original model for the Visor Edge.

Stylus

Stylus Visor Edge is different from the "toothpicks" that complement the rest Visor `s. Full metal (except for the plastic tip), oblong shape, this stylus is a very good-looking, even though it has quite a few negative reviews, because it requires getting used to. But the Visor Edge and so far from the traditional ...Method of mounting a stylus is very unusual to allow outside companies without problems to create their own models of Stylus for Edge. The system is as follows: the stylus is the projection T-shaped, and the right sidewall of the plastic housing with a groove. The tip rests in a special slot, and at the opposite end is a latch that holds the stylus in place, and a button that opens the latch. It's simple, but some room for creative producers of accessories. By the way, wishes to them: the stylus with a needle to reset `Yes. Surprisingly, stylus Edge no such provision. Just like old times, will have to find a clip or pin to restart.

Screen

Surprisingly, this is the only representative of the latest wave of PalmOS-novelties of the screen is absolutely nothing to say. Competitors to increase resolution, using new technologies, and Handspring actually offers the same screen as on the Platinum. Yes, I must admit, the picture became clearer, brighter. And at the same time, less green. Illumination is also improved, but it still does not compare with an inverted illumination on Palm III.

Credle

On the Edge uses a new 12-pin connector synchronization, so the cradle and the keyboard on the previous models are incompatible with it. His cradle is more compact and elegant. For the stability of the base was made of metal. The battery in the Edge uses a lithium-yonnaya as in Prism, but charge much faster. When I conducted measurements, from 5% to 100% he charge in 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Knacks

The most fashionable "chip" of the season - a flashing warning light, which can be activated instead of the usual call. Not that it was very comfortable (I always wear my Visor in your pocket), just that she has almost all the new products: Handera 330, Palm m500/505, here and Edge too. "Hide" button under the light included. As I noted above, the button is made of the same translucent plastic as the sidewall, so flashing lights can be seen, even if the lid is closed. Incidentally, this light is also used during charging Edge. It flashes during the process and just lit when the battery is fully charged. Another addition of a series of "detail, but nice" - is an updated AddressBook. In the settings you can now switch on the Fast Lookup (Quick Search). To activate this mode, you need to press the up button. Have you ever used a system of T9 text input on cell phones? Meaning the same, but sold more competently. Button still not nine, but four: Datebook - letter names A through L;

"Camodelkin: PDAs in the road - what could be easier!

In today's diy "We welcome Victor Moszkowski. This remarkable man presents to the public for their pet - travel suitcase with a set of gentlemen, which, contrary to traditional ideas;) included: the legendary Pocket PC HP iPAQ h2210, GPS-receiver, a mini-keyboard, a portable HDD, card reader, all sorts of peripherals, as well as a clutch of batteries and solar panel to power a mobile farm:) Quite often I have come on the road: go hiking, or just go where a normal PC or laptop is unlikely to take because of the size and high power consumption. So the idea to solve the problem of buying a PDA and necessary peripherals came at me almost as soon as I learned of the existence of handhelds. The idea of ​​a suitcase for transporting kit was born after the next campaign, when I had to take a lot of valuable equipment - Pocket PC HP iPAQ h2210, mobile Siemens s55 (to connect to the internet), GPS-receiver for navigation HAICOM HI-303S on the CF- card and battery. All prichindaly very erratically moving in the depths of my backpack and brought every time a lot of trouble with finding and connecting to each other. In addition, the haunted the idea: in fact while a PDA is recharged, he could rest quietly in a backpack, and I, meanwhile, would continue the campaign. Yes, and place a whole set of convenient way to recharge every time somewhere on-site parking would not have to. So in the mind arose bright image of the miracle briefcase that holds all that is needed and, moreover, protects against the harmful effects of external factors:) Back home, I built such and now nothing does not deny. The final weight of the PDA-case amounted to about 600 Basically a set is used for navigation, Internet communications, music and reading books in the campaigns. Work on it quite convenient, though, the buttons on the keyboard "Ray-805" a few small, but nevertheless, compared with a stylus - it is the lesser evil.

As for my gentleman's suitcase set involved a case for carrying a CD with lessons envelopes, which are mounted:
• four boxes for the batteries for 4 * AA (for charging PDAs)
• Keyboard "Ray-805" without the lid (the sensor passed back to top)
• tester to control the charging and PDAs by the solar panels and other sources
• spare stylus
• cases for storage of memory cards
• The set of switches for switching batteries
• cvetodiody bright glow to work in the dark
• the solar battery (connected via an optional connector)
• portable hard drive ASUS WL-HDD 2,5, storage and backup media that connects to the PDA through the CF-LAN card or a Wi-Fi
• a card reader to record the various flash memory cards on the screw.

Optionally, you can also connect a USB flash.Once assembled, turned water resistant and quite shock resistant device. On average - a standalone runtime suitcase PDAs - 30 hours without charge from solar panels. The price comfortable solving the issue of road - about $ 250 (without PDA and HDD). Here's a funny contraption turned out. In the future creative plans - empowering the CPC-case by adding columns, full-size keyboard, etc., as well as a substantial restyling - improved appearance. In this regard, I promise to keep readers HPCru (especially those who appreciated;) in the course of events. PS From the Editor.

In the new era with the HandEra

Screen

Reviews Handera 330 on foreign Web sites begin with a story about the screen. Everyone decides for itself whether it is a major advantage, but one thing is certain: the screen is really wonderful. 16 shades of gray, QVGA resolution of 240x320, non-inverted type of lighting standard Casio Illuminator - those dry characteristics do not pass that enthusiasm, which he calls those who saw him in action. Just press the power button and run any program (preferably one of the built-in, to feel the difference) - and a clean, sharp image leaves no doubt. The first word that they can say afterwards: "I want!". Of course, his role and well-chosen fonts (there are 8 pieces for all tastes), and "virtual" graffiti area, but all the same screen, excuse the pun, striking first. Perhaps the black-and-white screen is not the best solution for gaming enthusiasts, but the text and fine graphic details look great, even slanted lines at HandEra "obtained" no effect "ladder".

Game soft parade: Do you want merrymaking? They have me!

Today on the eve of weekends HPCru - the prime minister. We are pleased to introduce you to the section "Playing the soft parade" from our new author - Gotan'a. This will be a weekly review of the most interesting game-new products for PDAs that run Palm OS and Pocket PC, our little gift for fans of mobile entertainment. Thus, the venue - Friday, the day section "Articles, reviews." Meet! They have nowhere to play. So they climb, which is not needed. (Cartoon "Cheburashka and Crocodile Gena") In one of the articles devoted to games, I read an interesting idea that games are a form of alternative communication. It's a language understood by all, regardless of country, religion and cultural traditions. Form of transfer of ideas, images and emotions, the possibility of implementing the most fantastic worlds and showcase their skills. In an effort to communicate humanity conquers all new and new frontiers. Playing with stones, wooden game boards, game on paper, privnosyaschie share of adventure in a continuous series of school everyday. Then there are computers and the impact of language games on the mass consciousness impresses with its wonderful possibilities - are becoming commonplace zasteklenevshie eyes aimed at a monitor, a complete lack of response to external stimuli in the form of friends and members of the household, as well as the rate of finger movement, which denies all theses physiologists to speed nerve impulses. Then came on the market consoles and console - a gaming platform. Finally, the game gained our freedom. This is not necessarily receive their portion of emotions, ideas and images at the stretched cord. You can play anywhere, in anything - the game appear on mobile devices - smartphones and PDAs. This means the color, impressive sound effects and ease of operation - the joystick and stylus. More and more large companies producing games are turning their attention to mobile platforms - with each passing day it becomes richer and more diverse language games for the lucky owners of PDAs and smartphones. Here and magic, and role-playing games, shooters and rpg, as well as multi-level gaming systems, requiring a preliminary study of instruction to them. So, moving the glasses on his nose, let's colleagues, what is new is happening in the world of language games. All of the following titles you can download our "Programs".

Pocket PC

Tower of Souls (The Haunted Castle)

Despite a rather confused plot with lots of trendy items a-la «Lord of the Rings, the game is quite interesting to do and is the most likely candidate for most popular game of this genre for the Pocket PC. Similar to interface with the acclaimed Diablo, Tower of Souls is equipped with everything that needed a good RPG game: a set of secret rooms, treasures and items that have magical powers. Your goal - to find the 3 magic crystal "Naydus and destroy the stronghold of the evil forces of the castle - the demon Balhatroka. On this thorny path you will meet fellow skeletons, goblins, dragons and other members of a host of spirits. In addition, you will avoid the collapsing walls, miniature tornadoes and pits. Game designed to trifles - so that the lock in the game, you will need to pick up one of many tools and insert it into the keyhole, also need considerable skill and dexterity in order to produce the desired alchemical mix of possible components. Details so many that need to read the manual - in the game you will not find tips. Despite the eternal night in the castle, all the elements are easily legible and easily visible. The interface itself is quite convenient, all the animations in the game - smooth. Nice thought and sounds vividly reflecting the atmosphere of secrecy, reigning in the castle.Although navigation has some limitations (for example, to select an item must hover over it with stylus and press a button), the game as a whole exciting and lovers of the genre roleplaying games.

Pocket Battlefield (Pocket fights)

Developer Pocket Battlefield Kitcom Entertainment Company presented its plan to combat terrorism with the help of a helicopter. Choose your own way by which you will contribute to the eradication of evil, set up the difficulty level, game speed, and - go ahead! More than 15 jobs you have to do before the world cleansed of terrorists. I was not clear what relationship the destruction of tanks and antiaircraft guns on the different landscapes is to eradicate terrorism in the society, well let's leave it on the conscience of manufacturers. All navigation in the game by a stylus. Them you set the direction of the helicopter and destroy tanks and artillery. During the game will need to simultaneously collect the missile, money, medicine chest and the heart (glasses, probably added for the transportation of organs for transplant - as without potboiler:).

Universe Mortal Tournament (Deadly battles of the Universe)

The representative of the kind of "pugnacious" in our review. You will have to compete with the envoys of different civilizations from all over the universe. Fights are not for life and death at 3 levels of difficulty. On the seriousness of this game is over. The first look at the schedule adjusts to the unique style: an icon in the form of the head of Loch Ness on a platter, and the peculiar combination of characters of The Lord of the Rings "and" X-men "in the menu window is extremely funny. There are no levels, no champions - in every battle you simply choose a rival of the 4 possible. Using the buttons you hit the foot, hand, protect, move and jumps performed at the joystick. In the demo version for PocketPC 2003 and 2002, I ran into problems in the administration - the buttons are, unfortunately, did not respond adequately to my actions and I punctually watched himself in a reclining position. Despite all its shortcomings, Universe Mortal Tournament is one of the first specimens of the genre Games Fighting and worthy of review.

Pocket Conquest (Conquest)

Pocket Conquest - a prototype of the board game Risk - is a fine example strategichskoy game. Before proceeding to the test, I looked through the screenshots and comments about the game in the forum. Players spoke of a "week of fun games and on neostyvayuschem interest. It was hard to believe it, looking at the unpretentious schedule. The night of that day, I forgot about everything spent on the game, waking up only when he realized that the room was dawn. In each game, you have seven rivals differ on strategy and tactics. Begin by placing its troops in several stages, each stage of rivals in turn distributes its armed forces. The next stage - attacks and dislocations. You can attack only adjacent to your land - just drag the icon from your troops to the neighboring zamli. Exodus is solved by throwing dice game - if you have more points, you win. Depending on the balance of forces might have to roll the dice a few times. And in the course of attacks - the loss among men, lost ground ... Have to concentrate to win. If everything has already been won, upload a new level and continue his march.More than 100 maps were created fans of the game and is available for free download from the developer. A brilliant example of good ideas - when the simple graphics and lack of variety of sound effects do not affect the excitement.

GameBox Asia

Another thing worthy of an entire collection of masterpieces from the developer PDAMill. At this time - a series of well-known eastern games included - "Mahjong," "Shisey-sho" and "Uplands." The word "mahjong" in Chinese means "the twittering of sparrows" - sound like the clicking of mahjong dice. Goal of the game - to remove all the dice are lined with a pyramid of finding two with the same pattern. "Shisey-sho" is a variation of "Mahjong". Just as in the previous game, here it is necessary to remove the bones in pairs, but in "Shisey-sho" these bones should be placed so that they could tie an imaginary line or three lines articulated lines do not intersect with other bones. And finally, the "Uplands" - a game to train memory and attention, or "Mahjong vice versa." Bone demonstrated a few seconds, then turn face up. Must disclose the bones in pairs with the same pattern. Can you remember the location of 64 units? It turns out that quite a little workout ... The game is made well. Fully customizable - you can change the layout of the dice, take part in multi-level competition with increasing levels of difficulty, play with a friend. Excellent graphics and great sound effects.

Palm OS

Ara-Que Assault (Invasion of Arak)

Reading the story of games at times resembles a short video content, published on cassettes - many of the "key" words, the almost complete mismatch between actual content and presentation of confusion. So in the case of Ara-Que Assault. President of the Earth receives information that a certain planet Arak found dangerous weapon aimed into space. He responds immediately - you among other brave souls are sent to the planet Arak (Ara-Que) with orders to destroy everything that walks, flies, and (Warning) looks dangerous. A feast of spirit! Fantasy flexing its muscles and the Hollywood smile looks a monochrome display. Nevertheless, the game itself was good. Its style resembles Space Invaders: coasting around the neighborhood of the planet, you move your ship left and right and shoot at anyone approaching, on a course paid for the destruction. Money can then spend on ship equipment, because to put them like this is disappointing, nowhere else. From destruction araktsev fingers get tired after 10 minutes - you have to press the buttons around the device (click Address book and To Do - to move the ship left and right button, Calendar - for the shots). The game has no menus. All the main settings - the state of the vessel, the rate of fire and the possibility of purchases - provided the user with only the beginning New game.

Amazing World (Wonderful World)

Beautiful and practically the only of its kind - Amazing World. This toy is a set of puzzles to solve that need to be creative. All the puzzles are based on real-world objects - buckets, blocks, liquids. Here you will find and skillfully composed problems for children, and examples of more complicated for adults. Each puzzle provides a number of objects that, when properly combined with each other, will solve the problem.Thus, from the candle, magnifier and flashlight to build a detonator and attach it to the explosives. For every problem there is more than one solution. The game contains over 70 puzzles and 50 objects. You can add to your list of tasks and objects, by downloading them from the site developer. Using various objects, you can also start to create their own problems. Convenient menus and tips to help you not to get lost while playing, navigation and mastered fairly quickly. Good graphics, programmers have worked well over the fact that the game respected the laws of physics - you will not be stunned impossible to solve. Maybe all that really remains just figured out ...

Crazy Athletics (Athletics)

From now on you can run, jump, hammer throw and spear not shift from their seats. So, the winner of Palm Magazine Pilot Player, multiple world champion in Athletics (every day, so the champion - not a day without a champion!) - Crazy Athletics! Hundred meters.

Opening, followed by a funny animations, contests and closure, in which the contents of the animation depends on your results. Whew ... Not a bad workout ... Run on!

Plant Tycoon (Tycoon-grower)

Winner of numerous awards and excellent reviews from the players, Plant Tycoon - one of the finest copies of the simulations. You start your business with a couple of dollars and a handful of seeds. We'll have a lot of work, caring for their plants, making sure that they do not dry and not infected by conducting mating and getting new varieties. Sell ​​their green pets, and some money to buy new seeds, grow new generation. Your task - to get 4 magic plants by crossing different species - they will bring you good fortune and fame. Despite the modest graphics, the game really drags. Eventually you discover that every free minute camest to his cactus to look "like they are there" - while you are busy with their chores and do not look at your PDA, they continue to grow, dry, aging and ill.

Subjective notes on the screen, Palm m505

Thus, the screen m505 ... Screen, which was a lot of debate before the official release of Palm m505, and which argue more now that the new machine went on sale (in US). Immediately make a reservation. If anyone expected, picking up a m505, it sees Casio E-125 in a miniature version and a Palm OS - let these dreams to better times. M505 screen differs from the screen E-125 as well as oil painting on canvas, is different from a color photo. Now, let's see if it is good or bad. When you first turn machines screen seemed somewhat dull, if not gloomy. Such an "image in pastel colors (not to be confused with" sex ";). Only later I realized what was going on. Background! That's what makes the m505 screen is absolutely different from the screens of other color PDAs. Background screen m505 is not white, but rather looks like a light gray metallic. Accordingly, the color will look like, pastel. After an hour of work with m505 screen no longer seemed bleak. On the contrary, he is pleased me more and more. All colors on the m505 clear and well distinguishable. Light gray background gives some sense of "depth of color." And, most importantly, from a color screen is absolutely not tired eyes (for example, after an hour of working with E-125's eyes are quite tired of the excessive brightness of the screen, especially if the room was poorly lit). The next moment was a nice "behavior" m505 on the street in bright sunshine. The screen reads everything! Absolutely everything! I do not know how to behave in such circumstances, the new color Sony Clie, but the available color devaysov, m505, perhaps, has the "read" the screen in bright sunlight.
