Robots, More Virus stuff

This week at www.pdanews.com.au :
* Converging technologies (Ed's Desk Column)
We discuss the latest trend in PDA and Mobile technology - the convergence
of mobile phones and PDAs. Why is it happening (and why now?), where are
mobile technologies headed in the coming decade?
* Palm Robots
The folks at the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute have produced a little
robot that can be controlled from your Palm Pilot. The best thing is, almost
anyone with a soldering iron and a spare few hundred dollars can make one!
(EdN: If anyone does read this and then proceed to make one - PLEASE drop us
a line!)
* Nokia and McAfee develop network virus solution
Check out the Nokia press release about the Nokia & McAfee network virus
solution. The solution aims at protecting networks at the gateway level,
preventing a virus from entering a network and effecting desktop and
handheld computers.
* Detecting the Phage PDA virus
Yes, MORE virus stuff - McAfee have info and a detector available for the
Phage virus that can effect Palm OS based PDAs.
* Censor Censor Censor
It's not an article about PDAs but it's worth a read! Check out what
happened to various Internet users when they (or their schools/employers)
installed censorship/filtering software. (EdN: We ran this story because
it's been topical in Australia with new Government censorship laws).
* WAP - Frequently Asked Questions
If you're a developer or a techno savvy individual who wants to know 'how it
works' check out the link to WAP.com's WML/WAP FAQ. Now if all of that just
sounds like a bunch of letters to you and you have no idea what we're
talking about - you don't need (or want) to read it..
* Wireless & Wearable
Just a follow-up on the wireless and wearable article from a month or so
ago. Charmed has put on another fashion show of wireless and wearable
computing.
