I keep waiting for my Batphone to ring with a call from Wired, but it never happens. I need a story...a hook...I know, "Obsessed Pocket PC fan stalked by Palm". <img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif" /><br /><br />"A simple hiking stick was way too low-tech for Macromedia Flash expert Phillip Torrone. So Torrone equipped his stick with GPS and Flash applications that let him identify trails and track information on local flora and fauna -- and leave messages for other hikers. He'll show off the hiking stick and more of his quirky creations, such as a digital belt buckle made from an old Palm V, when he discusses wireless fashion at a Flash conference here Friday.<br /><br />His inventions are sure to delight his geeky audience of developers and designers at FlashForward. But his audience will start taking notes when he brings out mass-market, Flash-enabled devices such as a Microsoft Pocket PC Phone Edition and an O2 XDA, two Pocket PCs that are also phones."
