for everyone
For the last few years the fine folks at Ziff Davis have been suggesting to me that their annual DigitalLife expo would be a great place to show off Multiply. The event takes place at the Javitz Center and there's a wide array of companies showing off their digital (or digital-related) goods...everything including PCs, video-games, bluetooth car kits, mp3 players, cell-phones. You name it.

Multiply did not have a booth but I was offered a "VIP" pass to check out the show. Reluctantly I spent a couple hours checking out all these things that bore me.

I was most surprised at the the presence of video games. About 1/2 the floor space (and 75% of the wattage) was probably for video games. Besides lots of gaming companies, even companies like Dell and Microsoft had large gaming venues in addition to their regular venues.

I did acquire lots of good swag although I didn't embarrass myself for it. (At one point I saw a huge crowd gathering around one booth with loud hip-hop emanating...the company - a free internet phone service - was giving away t-shirts to anyway that danced to the hip-hop.)

Whoa, a BMW F1 car! Sweet!

Guitar Hero - It's VERY popular on the console scene.

Only sold at the Sharper Image I'm sure.

Don't drop your phone!

It's popular because everyone drops their phone. Perhaps this company had a real answer to this crisis?

As a gamer I must say that if you invest big $ on a gaming chair, then you have a serious problem.

(Lots of exotic cars on home page - you'd probably be interested.)

Was reunion.com touting anything new? Looks like a fairly plain (and empty) booth.

That's the nature of electronics. There's always going to be something smaller, faster, cheaper and that can do more -- if you just wait a few months.

From what I've read, it's not meant to be the successor to the current high-end Palm OS models, but rather an entry-level sort of device. Not sure what's missing from it that the 700-level-p models have, though.

Perhaps it's lacking in technical specs (speed, memory), but it runs the latest Palm OS.
