Nifty widgets that connect to the internet are only of use as a time killing device when there is an actual signal for them to connect to the internet over. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that there is, in fact, virtually no signal whatsoever available for the duration of the Bournemouth to Derby train journey.
I would like to tell you, but I can't because there is no signal, so I can't connect to the internet.
Meanwhile, I remain slightly surprised to find myself making a four and a half hour journey in order to go and watch a 15 minute film. Yes, that's right – it's the Derby premiere of Nothing Travels Faster Than Bad News. More on that later.
I've been gnawing at my fingernails recently, desperate to tell you all about my new venture with co-conspirators Ewan Spence, Rafe Blandford, Dave Thomson and Jody Armstrong, but at last, today, I can!
All About Palm does exactly what it says on the tin, covers Palm Powered smartphones and PDAs and discusses anything remotely related to Palm. Aaah, I see the penny dropping – now you know how I laid my hands on that cute new little Treo.
I'll be keeping a diary on the site, following my adventures with my new Treo 600 and hopefully demystifying smartphones whilst I'm at it. As I get to grips with the whole Palm world, I'll also be contributing news, reviews and other features.
I have to say that I am delighted to be working with Ewan and the guys, and to be doing something that's not metablogging for a change. Finally, I can let my geekside take over! Bwah ha ha haaaaa.
