Well, well, well.  Things sure seem to have gotten all topsy-turvy lately.  Cats and dogs are living together in harmony, robots are putting out fires, a GSM Kindle is coming and our own resident Windows Mobile fan, Clinton,  got an iPhone.  If that wasn’t enough, T-Mobile Sidekick users got a not-so-sweet surprise when they discovered that Danger / Microsoft lost their data.  Ooops.

Yes, it was quite a week for security as Hotmail users were encouraged to change their email account passwords after a little breach; while a new trojan horse made its way out to steal more than just your online banking login.  Yep, there were quite a few highlights from the week.  Let’s take a look …

Judie’s wrapped up week six of the Rosetta Stone TOTALe Program for Spanish.  Who knew learning a language could be so fun?

It’s been another exciting week for iPhone users.  BlackRa1n was released to jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1.2.  Tired of not getting enough air-guitar in during the day? Well, RockBand will soon be hitting the iPhone to ease the tension to give you blistering axe-man solos during your next coffee break at work.  VoIP apps like Vonage and Skype are now available and ready for use over 3G, but still no Google Voice or tethering love.

Windows Mobile’s had quite a week, as WinMo 6.5 was released,  HTC  introduced five new WinMo phones, and Carly took a look into the Windows Marketplace for 6.0/6.1.

Judie and Wayne got their hands on the new AT&T Pure for some extensive Windows Mobile 6.5 playing testing.  Did it live up to their expectations?  What did they love?  What needs improvement?  Need to know the scoop before you go out and get your next smartphone?  If you haven’t checked out their thorough review of the new features, do yourself a favor and check it out.

We’re sure this week will be just as exciting with even more product and software announcements and some great hands on reviews.  And, just in case anyone forgot….Clinton’s using an iPhone!
