Watched the BBC’s 24-hour news

Watched the BBC's 24-hour news channel in my hotel room at about 5am this morning (OK, 7am local time), and noticed that they still refer to the troubled Palm as the company that makes Palm Pilots. It's years since they dropped the Pilot name (following a lawsuit from a pen company) but most people who neither use nor buy Palm handhelds -- or perhaps are still using the original model -- don't seem to have noticed. Otherwise this is my first and probably last blog from Nokia House in Helsinki, Finland, where about 60 journalists have spent a couple of days playing with prototypes of Nokia 7650 phones. These have built-in cameras and Psion/Symbian operating systems, and could be considered more bad news for Palm.
