Friday, February 26th, 2010

This post is a reprint of a post by Ryan Block that originally appeared at gdgt weekly.

Well, by now you've likely heard Palm isn't having the best go of things lately, but on the brighter side, Windows Phone 7 Series looks like it's going to have some sweet launch hardware, Vudu got picked up by Wal-Mart, and PMA saw some interesting devices, like the Samsung NX10 and Sony ultra-compact DSLR concept. Oh, and let's not forget about the imminent release of the Nintendo DSi XL here in the US.

gdgt weekly 073

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

This post is a reprint of a post by Ryan Block that originally appeared at gdgt weekly.

It's Mobile World Congress week this week, so it might not be much of a surprise that we've got scads of mobile stories: Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Series finally launches, Symbian S^3 shown off for the first time, Maemo and Mobilin merge, becoming MeeGo, Skype gets free calling via Verizon (we think), and a bunch of carriers join forces to take on the App Store with the Wholesale Applications Community. Oh, and we got some hands-on time with the Xbox 360's Project Natal, you don't want to miss that.
