Palm Makes Mobile Companion for Treo

Ok, this seem just like a bad idea to me. Palm has introduced Foleo. It has a 10 inch screen, and a full size keyboard for $499.

Business Software Should Be More Game Like

New York Times has an article that talks about making software at work more videogame like.

I couldn't agree more. If you look at some of the very good UI ideas that have come out of videogames such as The Sims, or how well context menu works in various RTS. Or even how different related info are grouped together in Morrow wind 4. Then compare that to say for example, the new Office 2007. You'll realize there is much borrowing to be done. :)
