I still have my Palm device with the plug in eyemodule camera. Also a modem so it could browse the internet (sort of). Seemed more accessible to development than Windows CE. I imagined every doctor having one in their pocket to view patient schedules, recent labs etc.. Even started developing a proof of concept. Then these smartphone things showed up.... Volte ended up filling that niche that i had imagined. Cool stuff back in the day though.

Comment Re:Hemp? (Score 3, Interesting) 41

I found it curious that they apparently did not even consider the obvious alternative - which as you say is hemp. There is a lot known about turning hemp into paper - even toilet paper - and they seem to be ignoring or oblivious to it. The problem with hemp is the same as the problem with hesperaloe will be - supply. Hemp paper is expensive because the supply of hemp stalks is limited, so it does not scale up to the capacity of wood pulp to create economy of scale price efficiencies.

Similar situation here. We were on United Celluar, then T Mobile bought them, then informed us the phone was too old to be supported.
So fine, we went to spectrum, purchased a new phone and plan there. The phone number was supposed to port to the new phone, but no.
It got lost in the shufffle between United Celluar and T Mobile. It took countless service calls, 3 in person visits to T Mobile and 2 to Spectrum and 16 days of being without a phone for them to get the new phone working with the correct number. We lost 16 days ofincome (gig work) because the phone did not work. I dont think having to do it on an app would help any.

We went to Spectrum 2 days ago to replace my sons oldish phone with a new phone and plan from Spectrum. His old plan was on T-Mobile. We are still waiting for the eSim and phone number to transfer to his new phone. Spectrum says it might take 72 hours. But it appears the problem is likely on T-Mobiles end. I wonder how many others are being held hostage to this situation?
