Official US Update for Toshiba e-800

July 24, 2004

Two months after it was released for everybody else, Toshbia has officially released the Windows Mobile 2003 SE update for US e-800s.

According to posts on Brighthand, it’s apparently the same version released everywhere else back in May, albeit bunded with a couple of updated applications.

Why’d it take two months?  Go figure.

At least this means that if you put this on your e-800 and it happens to blow up later, you can still send it for warranty service—there were reports that if you had the non-US upgrade on your SE, they’d refuse to support it under warranty.  Several people were told that it would damage their PDA.  Apparently this problem got better, even though it’s the same version… lol..

I hope Toshiba ultimately remains in the US PDA market.  At least they’re good for a laugh every now and again…

Running Windows SecurelyOver the past few weeks, I’ve written quite a bit on various Windows issues—Spyware, Viruses, and going to a more secure browser.  Even though those articles have scrolled off the front page, a lot of people are still looking for them, so this article will be a “living document” with links to all articles I write on the topic, and there will be a link to this on the right sidebar if you should need to refer back to it in the future. Windows Security Articles No. More. Excuses. - The very basics of securing a Windows computer, and why it’s important (to all of us) that you do so. Spyware and You. - The details of how and why...


Official WMF Vulnerability PatchMicrosoft has released an official patch for the Windows WMF vulnerability -- a little ahead of their official schedule, and a little behind when it probably should have came out. The patch and details are available here. The SANS Internet Storm Center has recommendations on how to apply this update, including how to uninstall the previous unofficial patch and re-register the DLL that had the problem in the first place. Details are here. The SANS instructions are a little complicated, since they are written for both individual users and administrators of multiple systems. If it's just your own machine, and you followed the instructions in the previous post, here is a simplified set of instructions for replacing the unofficial patch...

Converting from ColdFusion 5 to ColdFusion MXIn a previous article, I’d mentioned a bit on the ease of porting ColdFusion 4.5 and 5 based web applications to ColdFusion MX 6.1. Here’s a nifty little article that goes into more detail on that, as well as some general advice regarding changes you can make to take more advantage of some of the CFMX features.

Dirt Cheap VGA PDAHarry (who probably ought to have a blog, but doesn’t my mistake—looks like he’s working on it) informs me that CompUSA is selling out their Toshiba e800s (e800 and e805 are the same model, just with a bit different bundled software) for under $400.  I’ve also heard that Best Buy is selling theirs in the $350 - $400 range. This is a great price for a spectacular device, particularly with the Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition upgrade available for download.  We’re talking a Pocket PC with a 4” screen, that runs 640 x 480, portrait or landscape, for those programs that you want it to (e-book readers, web browsers, remote desktop), and standard 320 x 240 for everything you’d rather...
