AvantGo, Gore, go! (continued)
Less valuable is the Gore 2000 HQ Cam. Apparently, a Web cam has been placed in the campaign's Nashville, Tennessee headquarters, and it looks down on the Gore 2000 Web Team. Every time you HotSync, you're treated to a refreshed image of the bustling office, like the one pictured in Figure D.
FIGURE D
See Gore's staff hard at work with the Gore 2000 HQ Cam.
If you hold your Palm device at arm's length and squint, you can just make out a filing cabinet, a pole, and what might be the tops of a couple heads. The Web cam idea is a nice touch, and I'd like to say it's a breathtaking peak behind the scenes of a presidential campaign organization. However, the picture could too easily pass for the random configuration of spilled coffee grounds.
The future of democracy and handheld computing
Does having a mobile channel have any affect whatsoever on Gore's chances of winning the election? It's doubtful. The only people who would regularly download and read the channel are surely already Gore supporters. It does little but preach to the choir. However, it's exciting to see someone who could possibly be the next President of the United States embrace Palm computing with such exuberance.
What it also says is this: If a Palm organizer can help Gore lead the nation, just think what it can do for you.
