My life in gadgets 1995-2004

As a way to get the year started right I figured I would do a recap of the last 14 years of my life ... in (memorable)mobile gadgets. Lets start with a some of the ones that come to mind between 1995 and 2004.

1996 Motorola Star Tac (TDMA) (courtesy of Mom)




1997 Palm Pilot (courtesy of 3COM/US Robotics)




1999 Neopoint (with WML 1.1 broswer!!) (before the company went under)



2000 Palm VIIx (with GPRS support... and ASK search preloaded)



2002 Compaq iPAQ with WiFi (Notice "Microsoft Mobile" branding)



2002 the first PocketPC with a mobile radio (called the 2020 by Orange in Europe)





2003 Motorola MPx200 (first Motorola Smartphone)



2004 MPx (never launched... the marketing campaign was going to be "Swings both ways").



2004 TMobile SDA Music the first "consumer-centric" Windows Mobile device (identical to the other HTC Smartphones launched...except for...wait for this... music control buttons! It was the first Smartphone I ever had that made it through a full day on a battery with heavy email use).



(need to go through my gadget box at home tonight to come up with some more...)
