almost like a pyramid, so it might just work .

According to a 1scr member post at 1scr
when the Palm One Tungsten | T5 is released it will come with Cobalt, 128MB
RAM, HiRes+, bluetooth, WiFi, and a 520MHz PXA270 chip. The slider will
be gone, and the D-pad will be Tungsten|C-styled. The battery is good enough
to survive a workday. Expect it in November.
The second model is the Tungsten|E2. It won't be released before April
2005, and surely won't have a HiRes+ screen. It will however run OS6,
have 64MB RAM, and the same processor as the Zire72. The built-in bluetooth
will be limited to 2 meter. The price will be around $250.
An OS6 upgrade will be available for the Tungsten|C and Tungsten|T3 a month
after the release of the Tungsten|T5. The Tungsten|C will still be sold
with OS5, but that will change as soon as the current model is out of stock."

Over 200 of the patrol officers bussed in as part of the Department of Homeland
Security's ramp up to the Republican National Convention will be equipped
with wirelessly networked helmet cameras. Each of the helmet cams will broadcast
back to a central control room where officials will be able to monitor and
compile a bigger picture of what exactly is being seen by the security officers.
The units don't use Wi-Fi, though, so cracking the system used by the security
forces might be a little difficult (if that's your thing). Instead, the
camera uploads via satellite, which then travels back to the central booth
via an encrypted internet stream.

IBM's new ultra-compact desktop, the ThinkCentre S50, which was launched
into the space-conscious Japanese market The S50 measures 27.6 x 27.3 x
8.9cm, footprint that's 92 per cent of an A4-sized notebook, IBM said.
Despite the small size, the manufacturer provides a 3.2GHz 'Prescott' Pentium
4, though not in its Socket T form. Still, IBM reckons the units "rectilinear"
cooling system, which pulls air in at the front, over the CPU, etc. and
out of the back, is sufficient to keep the machine from overheating.
The S50 is based on an i865GV chipset with integrated graphics. There's
1GB of DDR SDRAM in there too, a DVD drive and an 80GB hard disk. Six USB
2.0 ports, legacy connectors and Gigabit Ethernet are among the I/O devices
included, but expansion is limited to a single PCI slot.
