...Palm Computing Inc.'s IIIc--the long-awaited color version of the popular handheld computer--we're one step closer to the perfect information machine. I'm not sure, though, what thrills me more: the dazzle of 256 colors on its tiny screen or the new Palm Portable keyboard, a $99 add-on that shipped at the same time. The full-size keyboard--one of two versions will fit any Palm--cleverly folds up into a package that's the same pocket size as the computer itself. It finally allows me to stow that plastic stylus and type like...
Knoxville, Tenn. rock-jazz-funk band Gran Torino is an impressive musical collaboration of nine fine musicians. Together, they fuse the sounds of trumpet, guitar, keyboard, sax and other instruments into smooth music with groove. To their fans' delight, Gran Torino now has 11 new songs on their second album, Two. The new album follows their 1997 release, One. Two features more singing than its largely instrumental predecessor, but many of the new album's songs, like "Phyllis" and "Days of the Tested," have excellent solos generously mixed in. While lead singer Chris Ford's vocals often sound uncomfortably similar...

And last week journalists couldn't answer the e-mail chimes fast enough as one campaign and then another fired missives attacking opponents...
...mail is much too expensive for all but the info elite. (Indeed, Blackberry offers unlimited e-mail for $20 less.) eLink's limited-use plan, at $24.95--which allows roughly 100 short messages a month--is just too limited for my purposes. And on the ergonomic front, the teensy keyboard does not comfortably accommodate this boy's short, fat fingers. I used a pencil. Marshall could probably use the tips of her pointy high heels...
KITCHEN NET Next time you have an epicurious.com emergency, CMi Worldwide hopes you'll reach for its iCEBOX, a 9-in. TV with Web access, e-mail, an audio and video CD drive (but no DVD player) and spillproof wireless keyboard. The $500 unit, due out in March, only works with the company's own $20-per-month Internet service--a drawback for those already online with another service. Designed specifically for the kitchen--a bracket, sold separately, makes it a space saver--the iCEBOX can do something few other info appliances can: connect to closed-circuit cameras for monitoring...
