How to listen

(A quick note - the mp3 size is back up a bit, encoded at 64k to improve sound quality. If you're looking for something smaller for your Treo, I still *highly* recommend the VoiceIndigo feed above.

News

1. We talk about the iPhone. There's a ton of coverage. Here's where to start:
   • TreoCentral's live-coverage and photo gallery as well as our Treo-related analysis
   • David Pogue of the NYT's coverage
   • Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal's coverage
   • Andy Ihnatko of the Chicago Times' coverage (and our apologies for being unworldly midwesterners who can't pronounce "Ihnatko" properly)
2. The winners of Palm's CES Micro Blogging Contest are to be announced today.
3. We discuss CES a bit. Dieter's jazzed from some stuff he heard in a panel of mobile-device executives - primarily the idea of re-thinking mobile data on, er, mobile devices.
4. We hit some new bits quickly and furiously:
   • Verizon increases SMS price
   • MSN’s new mobile homepage
   • iPhony interface goes up, get’s lawyered, down, expect this to continue
   • mdog, a mobile portal that actually renders myspace pages decently, is announced
   • 680 battery update
   • Copper 680 gone from the Palm store? Indeed, go to the purchase unlocked 680 page and you'll see it's not in the drop-down (at the time of publishing).

Great accessories

TreoCentral Community

1. We added an Apple iPhone forum if only to keep iPhone talk from "infesting" all the other forums. If you'd like to ignore that forum, find tips here.
2. Threaded SMS now working on the 700wx is up to 1562 posts. Yowza. If you don't want to wade through all that, Hannip kindly posted a short tutorial at post 1544
3. Fun with MortScript. Another post from Hannip, MortScript is a scripting language for WM, plus an app to run the scripts. There are some examples in the thread. A little over my head, but to be honest it might not be with just a little work / thought
4. DialByPhoto Public Beta. Better late than never with this thread, DialByPhoto goes out of public beta and into full release today. Congrats to the developer on writing such a durn purty app. Download it here.
