PalmCast Live Tonight, 8pm Eastern - Palm Pixi Madness 3
by Dieter Bohn Mon, 14 Sep 2009 9:53 pm EDT
We'll be on again at 8pm Eastern tonight for another round of PalmCast Live!
Obviously, the discussion will center around Palm's upcoming Palm Pixi smartphone - we'll have Dieter's hands-on impressions and a whole lot more.
Have questions for us? Tweet them in to @precentral with the hashtag #palmcast and we'll answer as many as is reasonable.
The PreCentral.net Store, our sponsor, is providing yet another prize for the folks that watch us live tonight. The prize this time around: an iGrip mount, custom-made for the Palm Pre. The winner will have his or her choice of the Lighter-mount, the sturdy-swivel, the flexible arm mount, or the vent mount.
We'll see you right here!

Hey PreCentral Guys,
Love the site and have become addicted to the your podcast. What a goofball. Oh well.
PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE: My several Palm phones and my several Windows Mobile phones have had a significant difference in the bluetooth that seem to be applicable all the way through to the Pre.
It is this; Palm bluetooth will only play in a bluetooth headset if it's a stereo headset (apparently). Windows Mobile bluetooth will transmit ANY phone sound--whatever--to the bluetooth headset, stereo or not. With Windows Mobile this allowed me to listen to podcasts, books, music, etc. on my mono Plantronics Voyager headset (which for years was my favorite bluetooth). With Palm, only stereo bluetooth headsets will pick up audio if not a phone call. In essence, Palm bluetooth appears to transmit only phone calls to non-stereo headsets.
This bugs! If Windows/Microsoft can transmit ANY phone sound to the bluetooth headset, you'd think Palm could too.
Since Palm seems to listen to you guys, could you let Palm know this just sucks. I don't normally resort to the usual diatribes of "blows," "sucks" or "bugs" but I can't listen to your podcast or any podcast without using my stereo bluetooth headsets while at work (and these headsets are distracting in the workplace).
Big thanks in advance.

I agree 100%. I have bought two headsets in the past two weeks that I was told had bluetooth stereo capabilities. They did not. I am still in search of one at this time. My old jabra headset has this capability, but does not cancel noise very well. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be very much appreciated.
