Treo 650

I have the option of getting a Treo 650 at work, and I think I'm gonna go for it. I like that I'll be able to access email, web (limited), SSH (experiences with this?), iSync with iCal and Address Book. I was going to wait for the 700w as Palm OS seems a little... dated. But Windows isn't much better and there would be no iSync joy.

Any tips? Hacks? Recommendations for apps?

Missing Sync

The Missing Sync looks like it can sync a Windows Mobile device with a Mac:

Having used both a Windows Mobile gadget and various Palms, I'd say that the Palm OS is a lot more user-friendly, at least as far as GTD-type apps like the calendar, to-do list, memos, etc. Nerds will disagree about the performance and graphics and such, but the way the Treo integrates its 4-way button with the Palm OS navigation is money.

As far as the future of the Palm OS, does the Treo 700w mean it's dead, or will there be a 700p in the near future?

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
