That's right, their back! Reebok is reissuing the Classic Pump. And apparently inflation over the past few years is worse than I remember 'cause they are listing for $125.

In their never ending attempt to control all that is Holy — or at least Internet — Google has added satellite photo coverage to it's new map service. Oh yeah, a birds eye view of the whole country! Well not really the whole country. Google has focused on metro areas for detailed images. Around the cities is a small buffer of lower-res images and then beyond that the rest is filled in with a standard low res image that restricts zooming in significantly. Not that you need a lot of detail in the country for driving directions, but it would still be cool to zoom in anywhere. One feature that is noticeably missing, in my opinion, is the ability to click on the map and find out where THAT is. I mean where IS that nice looking lake front property? Or that rugged mountain trail? Or that hot chick sun bathing in her backyard? :D Just kidding. The zoom is stops way before such voyeurism is possible. So don't worry, only the 15 US Agencies and 3 Foreign Governments with access to current and full-res imagery can see that book your reading out on your deck. If that doesn't put you at ease… know that the satellite images are old. Terrorists planning to assassinate me will find their Google Intel somewhat lacking when they discover their forested staging ground behind my house is now high-end condos. Hmmm. I bet that's a selling feature the developer didn't think of: retirement condos, reducing terrorism in your neighborhood.

Thanks Adam

So your Digi-Cam just isn't phat enough in the Megapixel department? Need to blow an image up to say… 8×10? Poster Size? Mural? Well now you can have huge megapixels without breaking the bank (relatively speaking) with Better Light's Scan Back cameras. 144 Megapixels for under 10 Grand. Now it takes a mere 66 seconds to drink all those pixels in (that's the scanning part of the name). Still, 144 Megapixels is pretty sweet.

Brighthand has a nice round up of all the new VGA PPCs (Historically PPCs have had 1/4 VGA screens) out today. Most noticeably absent? A replacement for the 41xx series ipaq. I mean it’s easy to argue that the 19xx series ipaq shouldn’t go VGA… its a direct attack against the palm OS: smaller, less power, less money. The 41xx series is a different story. While the old form factor of the orginal ipaq was dying and HP had yet to release it’s new power-house machines, the 41xx was born. It was sized between the old ipaqs and the super small 19xx, but it had more power than any ipaq out. With built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, most people could get by on the single SD slot (which helped it stay smaller than the competition). The strange thing is that HP priced this little gem between the old ipaqs and the super cheap (in PPC terms) 19xx.

That’s right: smaller, faster, and cheaper the old form factor ipaqs (that were released within weeks of the 41xx) HP sold a bunch of these PDAs. Old the stupid or those caught in corporate legacy situations continued to buy the old form factor. Fast forward to today. HP has released it’s new line. VGA screens. Dual slots. Fast processors. But big. Remember this is a PDA, where is the little guy? Perhaps because the 19xx and 41xx continue to sell so well, HP is delaying the release of the replacements. Hopefully they have not decided to scrap 2 of their best sellers ever.

The ideal replacement for the 41xx would be as follows… consider this a request and a prediction:

42xx Series iPaq
