4th - 9th March 2002 News Archive

09/03/2002 You may have experienced some problems viewing Clie World today. UK Online had a hardware fault which affected all sites hosted by them which has now been fixed. I have used UK Online for web hosting for over 2 years and this is the first problem I have ever had with them- still an excellent host!

09/03/2002 TealPoint have made TealMovie Beta 2.22 available which adds a fix for missing sound on the CLIE T615/625. Download here.

09/03/2002 I couldn't resist adding this one- it's called BubbleWrap "More memory than you know what to do with? Now you can fill some of it up with Bubblewrap for the Palm! There are few things more relaxing than popping those little bubbles, and few things less rewarding than popping their virtual counterparts. I''ve completely wasted my time so that you can completely waste yours! Available at FreewarePalm.

09/03/2002 Thanks to Erik for adding the following post to the Forum "Everyone can look forward to a new version of MegaLauncher (VIP) (from MegaSoft 2000 of course!) to be released later this month. They have been doing tons of work in releasing and upgrading their programs lately. 3 new or updated programs so far in March...MegaLauncher will make 4 and who else knows what else will be soon upgraded. Plus, the best part is, upgrades are always free to registered users! I have been extremely impressed with MegaLauncher as well as the game "Booty" also by MegaSoft 2000."

09/03/2002 Erik's been busy-he's added a review of CustomPlayer to the Forum- it's very detailed and honest and a jolly good read! He also made a nice offer- "I would be glad to email some skins I have created for CustomPlayer."

This weeks competition 08/03/2002 This weeks competition will be slightly different- there will be 3 prizes on offer:- 1 copy of 300 Bowl by Jason Goldman and 2 copies of Clie Source's 255-icon set for Datebk4 and ActionNames5 You have 3 possible ways in which you can win- The best news submission The best hardware/software review Design a logo for Clie World- this will be given priority as I think the logo needs sprucing up a bit.Closing date: Wednesday 14th March 2002

08/03/2002 I received my styluses from www.supplies4.co.uk today- very quick delivery and a good price- under £12 including delivery. I would recommend a visit as they seem to stock Clie accessories that others have difficulty making available in the UK.

08/03/2002 MegaSoft2000 have released MegaCalc- by far the best looking calculator I have seen on the Clie to date- download here.

08/03/2002 I have given a one-off prize to Brian Fox for his English translation of PowerHiRes 1.0- TomeRaidit on the way!

08/03/2002 I have spent the last couple of days trying Jason Goldman's other games. I am already addicted to 300 Bowl which is why I asked him to donate it as a prize for this weeks competition but was surprised at how good his other games are- Pinballz- Fast action, 3D graphics, realistic ball physics, and a table full of fun, Pinballz is the state of the art in Palm pinball sims. Hexcon- Command a fleet of spaceships in a three round contest of cunning. Easy as checkers to play. Bite size 5 to 10 minute games. Dartz- Toss darts with a natural motion of your hand, gives the feel of real darts. Animated 3D darts! New Baseball game is completely FREE!

08/03/2002 Thanks to MacClie for posting details on the forum of a site showing how to take your Clie 625 apart! If you try it, don't blame me, blame MacClie- it's all his idea!!!

07/03/2002 Here we go- the competition winners for this week are:- Larry Miller and MC It was a very close run thing so they will both have a choice of TomeRaidit and designsbybert's deluxe icon set. Next weeks competition will be announced tomorrow and will be slightly different this time. Thanks to everyone who contributed over the past week- these competitions are getting more and more popular.

07/03/2002 Thanks to MC for emailing details of an article at Palm InfoCenter. Sony will be announcing details of the T770 and the availablity of 256mb memory sticks. Latest guess is that it will have a similar form to the T625 but include enhanced infrared, 16MB ram and MP3 capability- if a good battery life is included they would have my money!

07/03/2002 MacClie has posted details on the forum of a new review of the T615/625 on The Gadgeteer- very detailed and very honest.

07/03/2002 If you have got your T625 MacClie has also started a thread in the forum to see what cases are available- it's a fast growing list and well worth a look.

07/03/2002 Talking of cases, Kim Smith has sent in the following email- "I've spent alot of time trawling the internet looking for the perfect case, but they all seem to have some draw backs or they aren't specifically for the T series. At the moment, my Clie is sitting in a bog standard caselogic zip up case, but it's not ideal. I found what looked like the perfect case, the Handit on the Krusell site in Sweden. I emailed them about distribution in the UK and they said they would be available through 3E Limited. I then emailed anthony.ward@3elimited.com who very kindly rang back yesterday to say they expect to have them by end of April. At £21.99 including vat & postage, they seem pretty reasonable. I suppose I can wait that long."

07/03/2002 Bonsai 2.0.1 has been released which incorporate the following new features- "Configure outline to use color to highlight items by attributes (category, priority, due date, level). Links between outlines. Support for HandEra 330 high resolution and virtual graffiti area. Select font for outline list and outline views. Support for the Sony Clie high resolution.

All you have to do is get the ball past thegoalie and his trusty blocker. Sounds easy? The goalie and blocker will keep moving trying to get in your way to stop you from scoring. To score pass the ball to the player you think has the open shot and shoot!" Available here.
