Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

If anyone is looking fro a good point and shoot. Canon has introduced the Powershot S2, and now the Powershot S1, which is supposed to be a very good camera is selling for much cheaper than it was a year ago. [link]

Do any Buffistas here have a Sony Ericsson camera/phone? Or have experience with one? A friend of mine just got one and I'm feeling a bit of technolust, not helped that I just lost my PDA. Talk me into or out of it!
I'll also listen to experiences with Treos....

I love my Treo 650. Been working like a charm. Great screen, great functionality.

I love my Treo 600, but I just went through a bit of a hassle to get the battery replaced. But they've fixed that problem in the 650. (The camera in the 650's much better, too).

Any of you folks know anything about Skinit iPod skins? The idea of sending them my own image (okay, okay, my own image drawn by Pete) and having a custom skin (pink! pink with black bats!) is very tempting.

Beej, what model do you have? Any specs would help us find out if one of us might have ram, or even the cheapest place to get it pumped up.
Oh, please, please, please.
My eMac is a 700MHz powerpc G4.
- 256k on-chip level 2 cache
- 128MB SDRAM, support up to 1GB
- 40GB Ultra ATA hard disk drive
- 10/100BASE-T ethernet
- CD-RW (No dvd player, mores the pity. Wanna rectify that far in the future)
I would SO appreciate any thoughts on the cheapest way to get this baby upgraded.
It's gotten so bad, I'm fantasizing about finding a Mac-savvy person in the DC area to ply with homecooking just to get someone with some expertise to come, look at all my stuff (5 Apples, 3 working), help me discern what to f/c/m and point me in the right direction to make it all work together. This, from a reasonably competant user.
I'm feeling somewhat whelmed.

It looks like it's easy to do it yourself for some tasks.

I'm getting very grumpy with my Palm Tungsten E. I knew that the rechargeable battery wouldn't last as long as the AAs in my old Palm III, but. I checked the charge when I left the house this morning: 75%. When I opened it at 3 pm to make a note, it gave me a low-power warning. WTF?
I don't use it all that often, but it's just not staying charged.
