The Palm Foleo is back: Celio Redfly SIS

Posted in Mobile Phones, PDAs by Conner Flynn on January 3rd, 2008

Celio Redfly SIS

The Palm Foleo was a small laptop that was severely panned, belittled and put down when it was first announced. It’s image was so bad that Palm killed it before it could be released, hiding it away like abused child it was. As happens sometimes, another company is taking a shot at it, if you actually wanted one. The Celio Redfly SIS is pretty much the same thing.

It’s more or less a smartphone with a bigger screen and a keyboard for when you have to do some serious work. The price is a hefty $499, but you’ll have to wait until this month’s CES to discover the release date.

DiXX Digital Putter for the high-tech golfer

Posted in Golf, PDAs by Conner Flynn on November 13th, 2007

DiXX Digital Putter

Whether you need to improve your golf game or just plain learn the art, the DiXX Digital Putter will drastically improve your putting skills. That’s because it uses an onboard PDA-like computer to monitor your swing. The “inertial navigation system” keeps track of when and where the putter hits the ball, along with a “micro electrical mechanical system” that monitors the motion of your swing. With that information, the the putter can figure out how good your putt was, so it can provide feedback in 5 areas. DiXX tracks the swing path, impact position, face angle, swing tempo and speed balance.

You don’t even need to remove the computer from the putter to navigate the computer menu system. Just twist your wrist.
