Palm Pixi Phone

• Details

Instantly say whatever you want with an exposed keyboard right at your fingertips. Intuitively move back and forth between open applications using the multi-touch screen and natural gestures. Access your friends' information that's been pulled in and linked together for you. And choose from back cover designs and accessories that let you express yourself.¹ Personally. The new Palm^® Pixi^™phone. You said it best.

The Palm Advantage

Pixi runs on the Palm webOS^™ platform so it does things no other phone can do. Take the Palm Synergy^™ feature, which brings together related information and presents it in one simple view. Or the App Catalog, which gives you a choice of titles to download, many of which are integrated with other apps on the phone. And the ability to keep multiple applications open at once, so you can do more than one thing without losing your place.

Palm Touchstone Technology

Palm^® Touchstone^™ Technology provides a simpler way for your phone to interact with other Palm accessories, offering new levels of functionality and convenience. For example, the Palm Touchstone Charging Dock allows connectionless charging of your Palm webOS^™ phone.

Palm Touchstone is based on inductive technology. Inductive coils inside the Touchstone Charging Dock generate a small, oscillating electromagnetic field and transmit it through the Touchstone Back Cover on your device. This allows you to charge your Palm webOS phone without connecting a wire directly to it.

As you place your device on the Palm Touchstone Charging Dock, it magnetically aligns in portrait or landscape mode, and charging begins. It's easier, more convenient, and it charges your phone in about the same amount of time as a standard power charger.

Palm Touchstone capabilities

Touchstone Technology intelligently communicates with your Palm webOS phone and enables Palm accessories to provide a new level of functionality:

• Place your phone on the Palm Touchstone Charging Dock when you're on a call and its speakerphone automatically turns on.¹


• Pick your phone up from the Palm Touchstone Charging Dock while you're on speakerphone and the conversation is automatically routed back to the earpiece.¹


• For incoming phone calls, simply pick up the phone from the Palm Touchstone Charging Dock and it answers automatically, without having to tap the screen.


• When your phone is not in use, Nightstand mode displays the time and incoming notifications while on the Palm Touchstone Charging Dock.

What do I need to use Palm Touchstone Technology?

• Palm International Power Charger


• Palm Touchstone Charging Dock (sold separately)


• Palm Touchstone Back Cover or Palm Pixi™ Artist Series Back Cover (each sold separately)

How are Touchstone accessories sold?

The Touchstone Charging Dock and Touchstone Back Cover can be purchased as a bundle or purchased individually. The Charging Dock requires the Back Cover to work, therefore purchasing the bundle is recommended.

Additional Charging Docks may be purchased to be placed in multiple locations in your home or office. Each additional Charging Dock requires its own Power Charger (sold separately).

MicroSD Card to replace CD

We have evolved from the Floppy to the CD now the time has come for us to evolve from the Cd to MicroSD card maybe.Imagine a time when CDs are not used anymore infact they are not even available.Cds becoming a thing of the past,seems like a distant future but maybe those days are not far too.Will MicroSd win the battle against the CD.

People though are not ready for the change but are always looking for the latest technology.The love for the latest,the fastest,the sleekest technology is one of the most common love found in this techy world.

microSD is a format for removable flash memory cards. SD is an acronym for Secure Digital. It is commonly used in cellular phones, but also in handheld GPSdevices, portable media players, digital audio players, expandable USB flash memory drives, and for Nintendo DS flashcards, along with digital cameras.

Like the miniSD card, the microSD card was specifically designed for the ever-changing and fast- growing mobile market. Approximately the size of a fingernail, it is even smaller than the miniSD card and about one-fourth the size of a standard SD card. File copying is a problem with the MicroSD Card.Lets see how that works out. It will prevent piracy though but will lead to various other uncalled for problems.

How to use a single Gmail account and have multiple email addresses with it

If you don’t know about this then it might be great Gmail tip for you.You can use single Gmail account with multiple email addresses pointing to single email address. So you can use multiple email addresses associated with single Gmail address using different aliases.

Here is how:
Let’s say your Gmail email address is: yourusername@gmail.com
You can use this email address with following combinations:

youruser.name@gmail.com
your.username@gmail.com
your.user.name@gmail.com
or even as:
y.o.u.r.u.s.e.r.n.a.m.e@gmail.com

How this is possible?
Google allows only one registration for any user name. When you register a username, any addition of dot with this username is unavailable for other user to register.

Say if you register Gmail account as johnsmith@gmail.com then no other user can create same Gmail address with same username with any addition of dot, like john.smith@gmail will become unavailable for others to register.

Thus adding or removing dots from any Gmail address won’t change the destination address. All emails with dot will be delivered to single email address.

In short, Google don’t differentiate between your username with dots and without dots. All id’s will be treated as a single email address.

Try this out with your email address. Add any number of dots to your Gmail address and send a test mail with this id. See who gets the email.

Moreover you can use ‘+’ sign to add variations to your email address.Anything after + will be ignored while sending email to destination address.

E.g message sent to priyanka+buntsfootprints.com@gmail.com will be received by priyanka@gmail.com only. So you can use this email address with your website domain name as: username+yourwebsite@gmail.com and this will be delivered to usename@gmail.com
