Brooklyn, N.Y.: Do you have any idea what happened to the Palm application Vindigo? I received an e-mail from them saying they were going out of business yet their application is still synching.

Rob Pegoraro: I wouldn't expect it to keep syncing for too long.

That company, incidentally, represents one of the bigger missed opportunities in gadgetry. Years before there was an iPhone or a Yelp, they had a street-level database of food/dining/entertainment options. I don't know what happened, but the company's inability to exploit that head start is what the kids call an EPIC FAIL.
