Palm Island in the Carribean bans mobiles on beachNow, I can understand governments are banning officials to use mobile phones at the cabinet meetings, but banning the mobile phone usage on a beach just doesn’t make much sense. It’s not a spa, people are heading to beach for different reasons – why would someone ban you from using your phone? Privacy of other guests, I guess. Then again, I hope they are providing people who DO want to have a mobile phone on the beach with some stupid cameraless handsets.

Anyway, if you plan to use a mobile phone on a beach, evade going to Palm Island in the Caribbean, because you won’t be able to. Same goes for laptops and PDAs. Is this a true vacation spot or what?

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
