Always On Email For The Palm
from the it's-about-time dept
One of the bad things about wireless connectivity with the Palm is that you couldn't get "always on" email - so that it alerts you every time you get an email. That's one of the nice features of the Blackberry. Now, however, Motient is finally going to announce a modem for the Palm that allows for always on email. Of course, it's still a lot bigger than the Blackberry, and not designed for the same purposes, but it certainly could make the Palm a lot more useful for some people. For me, all of these solutions are just temporary ones until they insert the always on modem directly into my brain, when the emails will just flash before my eyes.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Always On Email for the Palm
However, $50/mo is $600/yr, which is a Samsung SPH-i300 plus three months of Sprint PCS service, so I think it's a bit spendy.
