Disappointed at Palm Foleo

Palm just officially announced the Foleo, its first smartphone companion product. See detail here. However, it is not what I have been expecting. I'm disappointed at this product line. Let's keep eyes on how ALP (Access Linux Platform) is going to be by this year.

Looking Into The Future

It has been nine months since Mobile Go V1.0 was released in March, 2006. It is always an exciting project that I'm working on.
15 years ago, when I started my IT career as a Foxbase programmer, I had never thought about writing program for cell phone. I always called myself a database programmer for my major works were database related. Even today my full time job is still database related. I'm a PeopleSoft application developer. However, I'm now more interested in Mobile programing than any other area. I truly believe that Mobile computing will be next big thing just like Internet was in early 1980's. It's why I'm spending most of my spare time on learning mobile programming and looking at the market of mobile computing.
Communication and Mobility are two keys to our daily life. But will cell phone be that one replacing PC in our daily activities? I don't know. Let's look into the future. Only time will tell.

Mobile Go Will Have Variant Editions

There will be three editions of Mobile Go. Scheduled to be released in January 2007.

• Basic Edition will support observing game and chatting only, targeting casual users.
• Standard Edition will support all features in current version V2.2 in addition to saving and loading games in memory card. It targets most mobile Go players.
• Prime Edition will support all features in Standard Edition plus the ability to observing/reviewing multiple games while playing a game. It's for those who are die-hard Go enthusiast.

All current registered users are entitled to upgrade to Prime Edition for free. More features will be added to future releases.

New Blog for Mobile Go Launched

I just registered a new blog for Mobile Go. I will post any thing related to Mobile Go here. Hopeful it will be the first place where all Mobile Go users like to share their experience with others. I'll also keep updating the status of Mobile Go project, including the port to other platforms.
