back after a months' time. Show #5 begins with a discussion regarding Palm's ROM update for the Treo 700W, as well as the announced launch of the 700P on the Sprint Network. Then Len discusses Craig
Pringle's blog posts detailing the enhancements that are built into Windows Vista that will make inking a better experience for all of us. Len also discusses some leaked information about a new Sony
mobile device-VGN-UX180P. This device is an ultraportable much like the origami devices. However, the Sony U has a sliding keyboard. That is what may set this device apart from the first generation
Origami devices. Sighted is jkOnTheRun for having some leaked pictues of the Sony device. Finally, there is an analysis of the many reviews that came out last week panning the UMPC devices,
particularly the Samsung Q1. Most reviewers cited the following flaws with Origami: 1. No integrated keyboard. 2. Short battery life. 3. Windows XP doesn't render correctly on 800 X 480 resolution.
4. Lack of mouse emulation. 5. Price point is too high. Treo 700W updater (Palm website) [2] Sprite Back-up for 700W (free) [3] Treo 700P (Palm Website) [4] New Inking Functions in Vista (Craig

[audio:http://mobiles.thepodcastnetwork.com/audio/tpn_mobiletechnology_20060412_004.mp3] Len is back with show number 4 after a two week hiatus. Len begins the show discussing a free beta from
MSNBC.com that will allow users of certain mobile phone devices (Treo 700W, Audiovox XV6700, etc.) to view mobile MSNBC content on their device. Watch video, The Today show, listen to audio news
right on your mobile device. Next, Len mentions the interesting and informative video review by James Kendrick (of jkOnTheRun fame) illustrating the TabletKiosk eo. James had the device for three
days and put it through some paces. Fortunately for us, James shared his findings with his readers. Next we learn about the manual for the TabletKiosk eo available in PDF format. It is entitled
"Laptop Extension". Len also gives us some additional information regarding the Treo 700P launch which will be released sometime between May 15 and May 28. We learn that the US Census Bureau has made
the largest purchase of Windows Mobile Devices to help with the 2010 census. The deal between the Florida based Harris Corporation and HTC is rumoured to be a 5-year deal for around $600 million. Len
also discusses Samsung's YMP1 mobile media player and the fact that it is available for pre-order. What is you take on Mobile Video players. You like or no like? Palm and Verizon Wireless announce
(at last) the their AKU2 ROM update will be available in late April. This will finally allow true "push" email to be available for the Treo 700W. This should be a big help to corporate IT
administrators. Len also announces the public beta for Textmaker 2006 from Softmaker. Textmaker took the pocket pc community by storm three years ago and now they have a bigger and better version in
the wings. If you are a heavy spreadsheet user, check this out! We couldn't even think of doing a show without some mention of the "Origami" or UMPC devices. Samsung has released some information
regarding accessories that will be available for their upcoming Q1 device. They will include: A keyboard Car Mount Optical Drive Case options An 8 Cell battery pack Great to see accessories ready to
go as we near the UMPC invasion soon to take place. Last, but not least, Len discusses the new ultraportable devices announced (or at least leaked to Engadget) by Fujitsu. The P70S will have an 8.9
inch touchscreen with XP Tablet Edition and weigh in at only 2.18 lbs! What a nifty tablet. The T70S will eliminate the touchscreen but add a external optical drive and a dedicated graphics chip.
Fujitsu sure seems to keep on the cutting edge! Mobile MSNBC [1] jkOnTheRun video review of the TabletKiosk eo [2] TabletKiosk eo Manual [3] Samsung YM-P1 PMP [4] Treo 700W AKU2 ROM update [5]-Push

770W. He also discusses the Nokia 9300 Communicator. Later in the show, there is a discussion of the FCC approval for Samsung's UMPC or "Origami" device-the Q1. Along the same line, there is a
discussion relating to the announced pricing for the TabletKiosk "Origami" device. At $900, for the specs. outlined, is this too expensive given what similiarly spec'ed notebooks are currently
costing? Len mentioned the ROM update for the iMate JAMin device. The update provides AKU2 for Direct Push Email. Finally, Len cries out "The Q is coming, the Q is coming"! The Motorola Q finally has
a release date posted on the Motorola web site. Len outlines the specifications as a reminder for potential purchasers. Show Links Cingular's Nokia 9300 Communicator [2] TabletKiosk EO UMPC [3]
