Here comes Thunderbird
The email companion to Phoenix, once called Minotaur, now goes my the moniker Thunderbird. This can't happen quickly enough, in my opinion. But Thunderbird 0.1 should be released around the same time as Phoenix 0.5. Schedule-wise, we can expect Phoenix 0.3 next week.

I'm all over this and I've offered to help. They took me up on it. Should be interesting.

Dell enters the Pocket PC market
A French PDA Web site has released information about Dell's upcoming Pocket PC device, code-named Clemente, which features the requisite XScale processor (400Mhz or 300 MHz), 64MB or 32 MB RAM, 1 CompactFlash slot, 1 SD-RAM slot, a removable Li-Ion battery, and a USB dock with a slot of for second battery. No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity is included in the box, though of course that functionality can be added via one of the expansion slots.

Entourage untethered
Microsoft just contacted me to tell me that Entourage v. X, the company's PIM/email product for the Macintosh, is being released as a standalone product in early 2003 for $99. Currently available only as part of Office v. X, a $500 office productivity suite, Entourage is the nicest application of its kind on any platform. Good stuff.

Low-end done right
I can't help but think that Palm's new $100 Zire PDA is exactly what the company would have done if Apple had bought them three years ago as Steve Jobs wanted to do. The Zire has the style and elegance of an Apple machine, is woefully underpowered with a 16 MHz processor and just 2 MB of RAM, and reduces the front button count from four to two, but yet sports some surprising niceties, including USB connectivity, a cool-looking brush metal-like fascia, Palm OS 4.1 (which is still quite new) and a rechargeable battery. In other words, it sounds just like an Apple product.
