GPS Nirvana with the Verizon xv6800 Running Windows Mobile 6.1
November 1, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Because Verizon locks down the internal GPS, I was forced to use an external GPS receiver via Bluetooth to have any GPS love.

Here I hope to save you time from searching through the various forums for the answer.

There are many digital pens out there that convert your handwritten notes and drawings to a digital format for storage and editing. Two that have risen to the top are the Livescribe Pulse and the IOGEAR Digital Scribe.
The Pulse uses a tip-mounted camera to capture the writing and store it into internal memory. From there, it can be plugged into a USB port for transfer of the documents.
The Digital Scribe uses a receiver that captures the writings of the pen. It can be attached directly into a USB port while writing or stored and transferred later.

I want to be able to quickly add the description without all of the extra steps.
While I still cant add a description directly from the milestone creation screen, BaseCamp has just made it much easier to attach a description.

I was not actually effected by the outages, but I did hear about them on various podcasts and blogs. I find their solution to the issue to be fair and I feel confident in the continued use of their service. Following is a copy of the email they sent me.
