jkOnTheRun exclusive- details emerge about the DualCor cPC (jkOnTheRun)

More info on the DualCor cPC can be found at this site: jkOnTheRun. Interesting fact about the Outlook PIM info being shared between the full PC Outlook version and the WM 5.0 without the need for ActiveSyncing - I like that! I want one - now.

Sounds like a great device - too expensive @ $1500 and no pictures to get a feel for the size - but worth checking out further. I wish I was going to CES this year! Maybe in 2007!

"SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Google has created a special version of its Gmail e-mail service that provides mobile phone subscribers with quick access to their e-mail, the company said on Friday.

Gmail messages are automatically synchronized between their mobile phones and computer accounts, regardless of whether Gmail is accessed from Gmail Mobile or the Web."

'Podcast' named Word Of The Year 2005.
