In order to set some guidelines, I want to explain my usage of the applications I will be covering. Before each trip (my daily commute or a business trip) I connect to the Internet and ‘update’ my occasionally connected applications. This applies to my laptop (Apple 12″ G4 Powerbook), PDA (HP iPaq 5555 with Wi-Fi) and Smartphone (Palm Treo 650).*
All applications will fit the Intel definition of Occasionally Connected Computing (OCC) as worded in my previous post. There will not be a formal review per se, but more of an editorial overview of the features of these applications and how they benefit the mobile user and their ability to access and interact with media. The applications will be consumer-focused with some references to business use.
I have a few applications selected, but i f you would like to suggest an application, please let me know. My email address is in the right-hand column.
* Because my job is in the mobile sector, I carry more devices than the average person. My PDA and Smartphone are redundant, but necessary for my work.
