Ted's Blog

It's been one year since I wrote Memoparser and I get an occasional hit on its web page and 187 have downloaded it at Palm Gear. I did a search for "memoparser" and found one guy's blog entry that said "Memoparser 1.0 sounds interesting". That's pretty good, I think. The guy that wrote Palm2iPod still hasn't come up with a new version that exports memos so I'm glad I wrote the program.

However, I have to admit that I don't generally use the notes on the iPod since I usually carry my Palm with me.

I still think the perfect MP3 player would be a Palm with a 20 GB hard drive. And it would need some kind of open source community to keep it constantly updated and configurable, unlike the iPod.

Unfortunately, I think Palms and other non-wireless (wireful? it still has no wires) PDA's are dinosaurs. I was at Best Buy and they had maybe 3' of shelf space for PDA's and accessories. I think cell phones are doing more and more but I don't really want a cell phone. I think eventually people will make fun of me for using an antiquated wireful Palm, like it's a slide rule or something.
