Too Good to be True?

Apparently, Verizon Wireless is changing its policy on tethering laptops & PDAs to mobile phones for data connectivity! Users of high-end, high-speed data capable phones will be able to use their mobile phone as a modem for their laptop. This is good news for those on Verizon!

Kudos to Verizon for making this policy change - I would be surprised if they did not see an increase in subscribers of data plans. This is one of the reasons that I would never consider Verizon in the past, with this change Verizon is becoming a viable alternative if I leave T-Mobile.

Now we just need to work on their pricing! :)

Sbp Diary 1.7 Released

Today Spb Software House released Spb Diary 1.7:

February 2, 2006, Spb Software House announces the release of Spb Diary 1.7. Spb Diary is a feature-rich Today plug-in for your Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, Notes and Messages. It enhances Pocket Outlook by gathering all of your PIM information in one place. The new version introduces a bundle of new features like the Messages Tab, an auto-height adjustment feature, native birthdays support and integration with Spb Finance as well as improved speed, better usability in the Notes Tab and many other changes.

Personally I use SBSH Software's PocketBreeze which was on the market first, and has quite a long history. However, Spb is known for their quality software solutions and the integration between their products.
