Our Flashy pal pt is profiled in a Wired.com article - very cool! 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".
"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.
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."
