The
best place for PDA news, reviews, forums, and opinion.

and via the 247 Chat Show
podcast, and opinions (such as PDA thoughts
articles).

A
Potpourri of All Things Palm: news, opinions, and especially
community.
PalmAddict's
passionate webmaster, Sammual James McLoughlin, aka Sammy,
will keep you informed of all the goings on, related to mobile
technology.
His informal "blog of many users" includes his take or mention of
topics across the web, but also multiple Associate Writer Thoughts,
User Thoughts, plus frequent podcasts, a forum, and links to all over
the
web.
The informal and friendly writing style gives visitors to Palm Addict a
real feeling of community. Topics run the gamut from press
releases and mobile news headlines, to takes on new and favorite
software and devices, to photos of places and pets from all over the
world.
Sammy welcomes everyone to submit ideas and thoughts, with but one
caveat--say something nice and keep it friendly!
As Sammy says, "Grab a coffee, sit down and relax with over 30 updates
a day." Definitely a good read!
