TREO 650 Released - With Bluetooth!

Retire the wire... with Bluetooth!

  At last, Real-time protection against "Pfishing" scams! We have come across a FREE toolbar plugin for Internet Explorer that can help protect you against the increasing threat of "Pfishing" scams.  Here is how it works:  The toolbar resolves the actual name of the site you are on, so if you click on an email from your Bank, PayPal, or  vendor, it will let you know if you are REALLY there, or on a "spoof" site.  We tried this with an email we received last week:

Display when on a "Pfishing" site.

Display when on the real PayPal site.

As you can see, the toolbar correctly identified the REAL PayPal site, as well as the phony one, which was operating with just an IP address.  You can download this toolbar free at: www.corestreet.com/spoofstick/ .

With Christmas approaching, we are getting a lot of last-minute requests for e-commerce.  With few exceptions, our highest recommendation still goes to Kingcart.com.  We have been using them for 2 years now (our store is a King Cart store, although you cannot tell), and we are still happy, and still paying only $10 per month (high volume stores may be higher).  You can try out KingCart for FREE, with their 30 day trial.  Most merchants can get 10 to 20 products "up and selling" with KingCart, linked directly to their MerchantAnywhere merchant account, in just 2 to 3 days!  It allows you to present "Real Time" UPS and FedEX pricing to your customers, based on the weight (which you enter when you add the products), your zip code, and the customer's zip code!  You can also apply a "formula" to the shipping calculations, to allow for a percentage or dollar "add on" charge.  Take a look at their special offer here.

  We are ABSOLUTELY impressed with the Treo 650. This one has it all! Not only does it do everything that the 600 did, but the screen has DOUBLE the resolution (actually 320 by 320 pixels, 4 times the amount of actual pixels on the 600), and the screens are gorgeous.  This little prize takes pictures, MOVIES, and more.  I want to get a BIG SD data card, and replace my MP3 player, as the 650 does that too!

  They changed the connector on the bottom (again), so it will be a while before we get cables for the Pocket Merchant, but the Bluetooth works perfectly. The 650's Bluetooth verifies the connection every time you use it, which alleviates the common problem on Pocket PC's where the connection sometimes "disappears".  Our Pocket Spectrum works like a dream, and is easy to set up.

  Pocket Spectrum uses a removable battery pack, and includes a separate charger station.

 

  You can purchase extra standard battery packs (800 mA) or even double-power battery packs (1600 mA)! Click here!

  The Pocket Spectrum is a true Line Printer (the paper moves underneath a motionless head) , rated not in characters, but MILES of paper in reliability (31 to be precise)! Powered by powerful, replaceable Nickel - Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries, this printer literally throws receipts out at up to 2 inches per second!  Pocket Spectrum has a larger paper roll then Pocket Merchant, a full 34 feet for 136 receipts per roll!
