Skype now available for Palm OS… via EQO
Filed under: Cellphones, Handhelds, Portable AudioWell, well, welcome to 2004 Palm OS users with the announcement that EQO’s Mobile for Skype client now supports Treo 600 and Treo 650 devices. Sorry, this isn’t a full-featured Skype client (not that we expected one, ever) loooong available for PocketPC devices. Rather, EQO is now providing a beta J2ME client for your Palm OS device which must run along-side a PC plugin (yes, your PC must be running and connected to Skype for this to work) all linking up with EQO’s service to bridge the whole shebang and provide users the ability to make and receive Skype calls, send IMs, and view their Skype buddies’ on-line status. Hey, no one said it would be easy… but judging by feedback in the EQO community forum, it seems to work.[Via Palm Infocenter]Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

Sony Ericsson’s W700i: just the W800i Walkman phone done-up in gold
Filed under: Cellphones, Portable Audio That Sony Ericsson Walkman line-up just keeps growing and growing. Today, SE announces their 8th Walkman phone, the W700. Said to appeal to "lovers of classic and discreet design," the W700i throws-down tri-band GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900, Bluetooth 2.0, FM radio, a 2 megapixel cam, and ships with 256MB of Memory Stick Pro Duo’in storage. Expect these to ship in Q2 nought-six in both "titanium gold" and "smooth white." Hey, wait a second, other than being gold and shipping with a 256MB (not 512) MS Pro Duo card, there’s nothing to distinguish this Walkman from the W800i released last year. Hell, it even sports the exact dimensions. A bit trivial for a full model number change especially when the addition of EDGE, an extra GSM band, and new controls only warranted a 10-point bump.[Via GadgetCandy]Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
