Handango vs. Everyone Else, Round 10
I just caught an item in my Mobility Site feed that reminded me of something I had meant to post when I read Rocco’s original item on Smartphone Thoughts. I got sidetracked by something else at the time, so I want to thank Chris for bringing it up again. Rocco had led by saying: I [...]

Don’t Be Fooled: Researching Urban Legends
This morning we laughed at an email about a groom who stood up and exposed his cheating bride to 300 reception guests. Have you received this one too? Doubting the validity (though not the humor ) I quickly went online to see if this funny story was true. Keep reading for the story and whether [...]
Apple’s Hon Hai
Well, the article doesn’t say that they will be making 10 million of them, but it does say that Taiwanese manufacturer “Hon Hai [will] be producing next- generation iPhones for Apple and is the exclusive contract manufacturer for the new phones.” There’s your 3G. A Hon Hai official, who declined to be named, told Dow [...]
Gartner Would Appreciate Not Having Words Put in their Mouth
By now you have probably heard that Ken Dulaney, a Gartner analyst, said last week that “Apple may have ordered 10 million iPhones that support 3G networks, based on rumors in Asia.” It didn’t take long for a web-based game of telephone to ensue, with the final version being that this was a solid Gartner [...]
GearChat: Evernote Beta Continues To Impress – We’ve Got Invites – Or Use This Secret Link To Join Directly
Wayne: I’m not sure if this will work for everyone or if it’s just allowing me in because I’m already into the Evernote beta (I think it’s an open URL because one of my friends was able to download directly). UPDATE: Some users are not able to get into the beta via the link shown [...]

Apple Sued over iTunes Music Distribution Practices
In an interesting move, iTunes has a shot fired across its distribution-bow… I’ve been into digital music since 1998. I bought a Diamond MP3 player and a 32MB storage card back in the day, and was listening to MP3′s I had ripped from MY CD collection at all times of the day and night. It [...]
Yada YD-V1 Universal Phone Holder and Headset Review
I’m a talker… Always have been, and will likely be yackin’ my head off the day I die. I… have the gift of gab. We all know its true, so who are we kidding. With the influx of new devices I’ve got, E-TEN X800, E-TEN X650, and BB Curve 8310, I’ve been doing a lot [...]
Best Buy Would Prefer That You Keep Your Mouth Shut
Have you ever experienced an event so surreal that you half expected a camera crew led by a guy in a suit to pop out from nowhere – telling you to “smile, you’re on Candid Camera?” Or a situation so ridiculous that for a moment you figured that Ashton Kutcher and the MTV crew had [...]
