January 2002 News Archive

31/01/2002 Just found this game at The Japanese Clie Users Club- it's called Da Da Golf and it looks like it's very near to completion (definately lo-res at the moment though)

31/01/2002 Also at the Japanese Clie Users Club are DaDa American Football and DaDa WW2. I have checked DaDa's site and all mention of future games has been removed from the English side- the Japanese side has Football and WW2 listed with Deluxe Mahjong as part of a CD-Rom Palm Games Series. Let's hope we get to see these games soon.

31/01/2002 Welded Warriors is a new game that should be released in the first quarter of 2002 by Crimson Fire and Galactic Realms- I'm trying to find out if there will be a hi-res version but the screenshots above speak for themselves- looks stunning!

31/01/2002 If you are interested in becoming a Clie developer or are after ROM images or Emulators click here to visit the Sony Developer site.

31/01/2002 Email received from ShaunO'Brien today- "Thought you might be interested to know that Sony Style are selling 128mb Memory Sticks for £98 inc VAT."

30/01/2002 Lubak has some hi-res Clie fonts available here for use with FontHack 123 beta 4.0c (you can download FH 123 from his site as well)

30/01/2002 Recieved the following from Bob via email: If you're interested in web prices Comet.co.uk has the clie 770C for £317.24 inc delivery. Amazon.co.uk have it for £299 + delivery but limited availability. I bought my 770C/U 2 weeks before xmas from a Sony centre who matched (there abouts) the amazon.co.uk price. I believe I paid an extra £10 but worth it to be able to walk into a shop if it all goes wrong.

30/01/2002 Thin Font Fix has been updated to allow automatic activation after a soft reset- here's the zip file

29/01/2002 Handmark have just released their Palm OS version of the classic Monopoly. Just one improvement needed- a hi-res version is a 'must' for a board game needing so much detail on a small screen- the reviews on PalmGear suggest this one is a winner.

29/01/2002 Just received this email- quote "Jessops the camera store chain have the Lexar 128MB sticks listed at £89.90 in-store."

29/01/2002 Sony Centre's accross the UK are now offering 128mb 'Magic Gate' Memory Sticks for £99.00 inc VAT (£20 cheaper than the Blue sticks which they have listed for £119.00)

28/01/2002 Clove Technology are selling 128mb Lexar Memory Sticks for £79.00+ VAT- anyone seen better in the UK?

28/01/2002 If you have not tried Lemmings yet it would be a good idea to visit Ardiri today- it's faithful to the original, Clie hi-res compatible and free!

28/01/2002 I am currently Beta testing version 1.1 of Boom Time and it looks superb in hi-res. Click here to get yourself aquainted with the current version.

27/01/2002 If you are in the UK and manage to find some accessories for your Clie please let me know by clicking the envelope (top right). It would also be useful if you could send me the best UK prices you have seen for the Clies and accessories- for example the lowest I have seen for an N770CU is £349.99 inc VAT and £92.00 inc VAT for a 128mb blue Memory Stick- if you have seen better let me know and I will post the details here. It's amazing how much us Brits have to pay compared to the USA!!

It's a hi-res strategic monster of a game with superb graphics and absorbing gameplay weighing in at over 600kb (even the size does not matter as it runs flawlessly off a Memory Stick).

23/01/2002 Photos of the case quoted below added- click here

22/01/2002 (quote from email received today) In early december a senior exec from Sony's Clié group was in the UK, and was pretty unimpressed, by the accesories available here, expect to see some major movement on this front in the next few months, on a similar note i'm told the new T6** series will be arriving on these shores in March.Also for those looking for cases closer to home ProCom have had a shipment of the new Chameleon leather cases for the 770 (I bought the 'alligator' Skin version today and its pretty sweet for £30)- I got my case from the store on Tottenham Court Road, London (Tel.020 7637-5777)

19/01/2002 If you are unsure whether the higher resolution (320 x 320) screen makes a difference to a Palm powered device check out this site which has some good examples of software designed specifically for the Clie's enhanced screen.
