'Out Of Gas'
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!
The most irritating part of switching from my Palm is the calendar. Anyone know if a Nokia E70 would normally update one's Outlook schedules?
I don't have Outlook, I think, mostly. But I'd reinstall it so that I'd have somewhere to look at what's happening when on my PC. Does anyone know what my options are, in terms of PC apps? I do miss that part of the Palm platform/desktop, the integration. But it was for ass even just creating an email in Eudora. Cranky.
if you have vista, you can sync with windows calendar (with nokia) instead of only outlook. Lotus Notes can also be synced with nokia phones.
I did like airset.com for syncing palm with an online calendar. Airset is excellent and they do have a mobile version for some phones that's about $5 a month.
I use goosync between palm and google calendars which has always worked great. But when I mixed Plaxo in things got wonky and I have dupes everywhere now.
Google...I'd forgotten about that.
My Razr worked dreamily well with my Mac, but the E70, despite published workarounds, never did. Frustrating.
Assume there is a hypothetical 42" HDTV costing about $1000.
Plasma vs LCD. Educate me.
The shorthand is typically that Plasmas give richer colors and deeper blacks, but that LCDs have a sharper image.
Also, there have been tests, and usually once people get lost in whatever is on they don't notice minor differences of that sort. Like all averages, this is misleading -- I'll bet professionals like Drew do notice, along with certain types of fans who are well represented among the Buffistas.
It's pretty much a preference thing. Go to a store with a lot of sets and take a look at Plasmas and LCDs that are playing the same program. I was a big fan of Plasmas for a long time due to the deeper blacks and richer colors, but the latest crop of LCDs has me considering one as an eventual replacement for my older EDTV 42" Plasma.
