Mar 30 03:40:10 <EricBlade> well that's interesting
Mar 30 03:40:28 <EricBlade> if you try and issue commands from novacom to your TouchPad, it routes them back to your PC
Mar 30 03:40:41 <EricBlade> er.. if you try and do it via your TouchPad's wifi address
Mar 30 03:40:49 <EricBlade> and then it loops or something
Mar 30 03:59:25 <EricBlade> too complex for my blood. damn.
Mar 30 13:07:33 <bartho> looks like the same thing that happened to palm is happening to rim
Mar 30 13:07:49 <bartho> failure to keep up with market changes
Mar 30 14:10:23 <bartho> looks like this channel died with webos
Mar 30 14:18:36 <EricBlade> people only wake up around here when something happens
Mar 30 14:19:50 <summatusmentis> palm was kinda screwed by HP
Mar 30 14:19:57 <summatusmentis> RIM has screwed themselves
Mar 30 14:20:31 <summatusmentis> certainly they started in similar positions, but I honestly believe with the right plan and enough money, palm could have made it
Mar 30 14:22:14 <EricBlade> it seems like palm was in a situation where they had to sell themselves to someone to even continue, and never came out of that tailspin
Mar 30 14:23:06 <summatusmentis> kind of, yes
Mar 30 14:30:31 <bartho> Palm was screwed a logn time ago. HP was dumb to think they could change that
Mar 30 14:32:03 <bartho> took to long to switch from PalmOS then webOS was rushed
Mar 30 14:45:58 <EricBlade> it's all recoverable, but at what expense?
Mar 30 14:57:50 <bartho> recoverable? don't see how that is possible
Mar 30 15:11:19 <summatusmentis> because nothing is impossible
Mar 30 16:13:12 <EricBlade> WOO novacom via wifi!
Mar 30 16:17:34 <hucksy> nice
Mar 30 20:15:21 <EricBlade> oh, awesome.  my computer gives me the option to "Send and receive SMS messages from this phone" when bluetooth connected to my PlayBook, which doesn't have that ability at all.  But it doesn't give me that option for my Pre2, which -does- have that ability.
Mar 30 21:31:26 <EricBlade> jesus christ the new blackberry phone model has a 320x240 display
Mar 30 21:31:37 <EricBlade> wth is this, 1999 ?
Mar 30 21:39:43 <RagingMind> EricBlade, there may be a reason that BB hasn't been doing so well ;)
Mar 30 21:41:37 <EricBlade> yeah i started up the emulator, and it takes up like 1/20th of my display, i'm like "ok, resize window"   no resize widget.  i google the specs.  i start laughing uncontrollably
