Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are a very interesting team. The 2007-2008 season should be fun viewing every week. I expect a play off appearance, but not so sure about the Super Bowl. Watch for more Cowboys talk on the blog as the season gets going.

Sports

I have not commented on North Texas sports lately so I thought I would take this opportunity.
Baseball - Rangers: The Rangers's season was over at the all-star break, we have been able to see the results of the trades made at the deadline this year and the verdict..... In my opinion the outfield and future DH positions are of concern to me. I also wonder about catcher. What do the Rangers want to do with Saltalamacchia? He's listed as a catcher on the Rangers's website. Don't we want him playing First Base? I guess the Rangers are not happy with Laird, or want to carry two good catchers with one playing everyday at either first base or catcher. Not sure what the Rangers will do at first base either with this situation? Won't even get into the pitching situation. I think there are more questions than answers about the Rangers for 2008.

Latest Images of Upcoming Palm Centro

A new image of the upcoming Palm Centro that was displayed at the Sprint meeting a few weeks ago has hit the net web. Supposedly this device will have EVDO, and if the image is authentic then it will have an IM client like the 755p. The price is supposed to be around $99. Reference previous posts for a brief description of the device. Here's a link to the Engadget post.

Sprint's Technology Summit

Yesterday Sprint put on a technology summit outlining their plans for all things Sprint in 2007 and beyond. Sprint released the branding of the new 4G service, as outlined in a previous post and provided some upcoming devices for those present to see and touch. Sorry no pictures were allowed. Gearlog has a great write up by Sascha Segan you need to read. I'm surprised they didn't have any Wi-MAX devices on display, but I am interested in the Palm device. Below is a picture of the GSM version of the HTC Touch now available. PCMag has a good review of it.

Samsung's Yepp YP-P2 touchscreen DAP with Bluetooth

Here's another new device from Samsung. I wouldn't be surprised to see something like this with XOHM service in 2008. It'll be even cooler if it has CDMA for voice and XOHM for data. It never hurts to dream. Check out the review at dapreview which includes a video.
