World handheld shipments fail to ignite. Handheld shipments dropped 10 percent in Q2, says IDC [InfoWorld: Top News]

Hmm... could it be they have the form factor all wrong?

My first post from REX!

Actually, only the line above was posted from my REX. What's a REX? you ask. REX is a "micro-PDA". Imagine a Palm PDA that was as small as a PCMCIA card (and what the hell, as long as you're at it, make it a PCMCIA card and use that interface for synchronization).

I've used a Palm; I've used a Blackberry. The problem is that I didn't use them enough, because I didn't have them with me all the time. Too big. So I conditioned myself not to depend on them. The REX, however, is always there, because it fits in a front pants pocket without my even noticing. If I have my keys, I have my REX.

More about REX and how I write weblog posts on it when I have some more time.

The errors I was referring to in my previous post (Copied from the Events log):

Can't create item "weblogsComData.changes." because "" is an illegal name.
Can't upstream because "Can't open stream because TCP/IP error code 10060 - Connection timed out."
Can't upstream because "Can't read stream because the TCP connection was closed unexpectedly."
Can't upstream because "Can't open stream because TCP/IP error code 10061 - Connection refused."

Hello World! (I will ignore the fact that I got some weird errors when attempting to upstream my first post and declare that nirvana has been reached-- "Hello World" in 0 lines of code)
