Apparently Compaq's already got what I want

That's right! Compaq's iPAQ BlackBerry H1100, available now for only $750(?!?) at CDW looks very similar to Handspring's forthcoming Treo k180 (dubbed “The Manhattan”).

Forrester Research - Another research/consulting company to add to my list.

Wow. From the guy who invented Mathematica-- a new science of modeling the world using simple computer programs to create complex patterns. Might be useful in modeling nature and boosting the upcoming VR revolution. (found this link after searching for pages that link to google on blogdex using blogdexter's who's linked to me tool.)

• Here's his book, A New Kind of Science, out in October.

Anytime a company is mentioned it should have a link associated to it... makes it easier to review the references online. Also-- you should be able to set the default for links when you click them. I always open new windows, and it's getting time consuming to right-click and choose "Open In New Window" everytime.
