June 24th, 2003 · No Comments

The UK has cracked down on driving with cell phones, but is being criticized for not cracking down on handsfree cell phone use. Earlier we reported that a new study found almost no difference between drivers who used phone without handsfree, and drivers that used phones with handsfree.
Seems like a silly law, but if you […]

June 24th, 2003 · No Comments

Review Motorola v60i/v66i

June 20th, 2003 · No Comments

Motorola v60i , live pictures

Another Japanese swiveler from Kyocera

CeBIT America Coverage

June 19th, 2003 · No Comments

Several sites have posted CeBIT America coverage today. We weren’t able to attend this year, but according to Gizmodo we didn’t miss much. Maybe next year. Everyone seems to be in agreement that the 8-day mega conference in Germany is much better… but hey–that’s a long ways from NYC.
