Hey, if this software works, it's pretty cool. I'd love to get my new Treo 700W to connect to my laptop. It's called PDANet by June Fabrics PDA Technology Group, and for $34 it claims to connect your laptop via ActiveSync with the Treo's Verizon network...

Eric Badger made a cheat sheet for Voice Command : everything you can say and how to say it.

I just had to show off my new Treo, and what better place than the Geek Dinner last night at Bellevue Crossroads. Scoble was there of course, telling me about the guy he just met from CMU who uses SR in his car. Wait till he sees Rob Chambers' car...Rob...

Scoble's list of what to like about Vista: 1) All new networking stack. Many times the performance. You don’t care about performance? Interesting. Watch this: http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=116349 2) All new audio stack. You don’t...

Nick Cipollone is one of our hard-core linguistic developers who regularly works with exotic scripts and complicated languages (natural ones, that is, though some people probably think C is complicated). In many of these languages, it's hard to enter...

Lots more internal discussion about which phone is best... One of the key developers on the Voice Command team suggested I look more closely at the Palm Treo 700w that I mentioned the other day . He absolutely loves it ("orders of magnitude better...

My wife is on the board of Youth Theatre Northwest , a very small, stingy non-profit organization of between 5 and 10 employees (depends on how you count "employee"). They're looking for a good phone system. Their staffers are not computer literate...

My contract's up and it's time to renew. I feel like I have the oldest most primitive cell phone in the group. Scoble got himself a fancy new Cingular 2125 . I want to run Voice Command, of course, and the device size doesn't matter that much to me...
