Palm will be launching their new handheld which is the first using Palm WebOS. After a while, Palm finally release this new beautiful thing.

Palm Pre is designed to make our lives easier, that's what people from Palm said during the launching.

I do like this stuff. It looks very stylish and yet not so big or small for me. It has QWERTY keyboard which slides easily in and out of the slider. The thing I really like is the hand movement strokes that are assigned for special commands. I watched the launching CES video and it was amazing!

I couldn't wait to seek for any new announcement from Palm regarding Palm Pre. I wonder what will be the price of it since Palm Pre have to compete with others of its kind from Blackberry, Apple, Samsung, and etc.

I believe that there is still not many applications available for Palm Pre yet but Palm has opened the opportunity to all developers who want to take this chance to design a special application for Palm Pre. [Read more]

I have watched Palm Pre in action and totally felt in love with that little sweety. I hope to hear for new progression soon from Palm and will look forward to have one for my own if the price is not sky high. [Video link]

I've made a post regarding on how to find the cause of your low virtual memory. Now I would like to show you on how to determine your virtual memory. Our friend also had asked about it on the comments column.

It is very easy to determine the virtual memory. Just follow these simple steps:

Right click My Computer --> Properties --> General tab

The amount of your virtual memory will be shown on the screen.

OK, now since we already know how to check and how to find the cause of low virtual memory, there will be another question asked; how to increase it?

There is nothing much you can do if the virtual memory installed to your laptop is very low. On my 4 years old laptop, the virtual memory is only 496 MB. The rules of increasing virtual memory is, you can only increase it by 1.5 times at most. So for my case, I can only increase it to 744 MB. The more virtual memory you have, the faster you computer will work.

Follow these steps to increase the virtual memory:

Right click My Computer --> Properties --> Advanced --> Performance --> Setting --> Advance --> Virtual Memory --> Change --> set the value --> OK

Have fun checking you computer now.

Later this year, Microsoft will release their latest mobile OS, Windows Mobile 6.5. The new version OS will have a new look from it's earlier brothers.

Here are some screen shots come straight from Microsoft.

1. The new honeycomb start screen for easy application access.



2. The locked screen allows users to respond to interactive user interface elements with a simple PIN, even if the device is locked.


3. New Internet Explorer Mobile features Adobe's Flash Lite.


Personally, I think the new interface used in Windows Mobile 6.5 is really cool. To all smartphone users out there, get ready to upgrade your OS later this year. Can't hardly wait for the OS to be officially released and buy myself a nice smartphone.
