Gomadic Palm Pre Car Holder mini-review

Not sure if this is worth the USD $24.95.

It seems just a generic car vent holder, but can hold pretty much any smartphone except the large ones like the HTC Advantage/Ameo.

At least this comes in 2 parts, unlike the older Gomadic generic vent holder.

This means you can use soimething like a proclip to attach the main holder instead of the slightly less secure plastic vent clips.

Mark Burgess's Up on A Hill chords and lyrics

Not gadget related, but worked this out just now:

Up on a hill


Em A
With all my heart I resist, With all my soul I resist
Bm D F C
The killers kiss and sweet sick motive promises,Where will they end? tin can cars and judas friends

Em A Em A
The Lion sleeps with the cheat
Em A
And sits in awe at his Feet

The sacred cell , opposing products on the shelf
Devils bait, way beyond the sell-by date

Em A D Bm
Up on the hill
Em A D Bm
Watch the world turn , Up on the hill
Watching Rome burn ,Yes I'm a fool, A fool not a rat

Em A D F#m D F#m
And I have no fear of the cat

G A F#m G A F#m G
Theres no desire to remain and breathe, While you suffocate
Theres no desire to remain, And prostrtate myself before a god of hate
Theres a place that exists, outside while your failing powers appear
I am still here,
F#m G A Em
I am sane I am absolved

Em A D Bm
Em A D Bm
Up on the hill
Em A D Bm
Watch the world turn, Up on the hill, Watching Rome burn
Yes I'm a fool, A fool not a rat

Em A D F#m D F#m
And I have no fear of the cat
D F#m
Yes I'm a fool, A fool not a rat
Yes I'm a fool,A fool not a rat

D F#m G A Em

Should iphone have physical keyboard?

After 2 years with the iPhone keyboard, I think I need both a software one and a hardware one! For a few situations e.g. language switching the software keyboard with good auto-correct is better, but for one-handed use, long emails I prefer a physical one. Also you get more visible screen estate with a physical keyboard.

A physical keyboard with good auto-correct would be ideal. The iphone keyboard is only good because of the auto-correct -it lacks haptic feedback. Other companies don’t have as good auto-correct, but that can be added in software.

So I’m going for the Palm Pre - you can easily hack it and add the onscreen keyboard if you want, and you can hack the auto-correct so it is as good as/better than the iPhone’s and more suited to your particular use. The iphone’s autocorrect implementation is faster than the Pre, but the Pre is still in its infancy and should improve vastly with updates and hacks.
