Verizon announced this update to Motorola's Motorizr Z6, on the 28th. The biggest difference? Yep, you got it right, V Cast. Pay for V Cast, then pay for shows! As you can tell, I'm not the biggest fan of V Cast, but if you NEED your "24" on the go, your new Z6tv is the perfect place for it.
Verizon is hyping this phone as the "Ultimate Consumer Entertainment Source." I do love the slide aspect of the phone, but I definitely don't see iPhone Users switching over anytime soon, unless of course their

It is upon us now; the
Apple firmware updates that you have been so carefully
warned about. There was always that chance of, "Maybe it won't affect our tweaks!" Nay, dreamers, the work of hackers everywhere is being undone and war wages on.
The newest iPhone version, 1.1.1, did bring some new features. So long as you still are still running your original SIM, you'll get some things like a louder speakerphone, iTunes WiFi music store, and other various treats.

Disney has decided to close down their service, Disney Mobile. Specifically, this US-based mobile virtual network (MVNO) is no longer allowing new purchases, and the service will be completely cut off by December 31, 2007. Current customers have until then to find themselves a new carrier.
Some people really seemed to like this plan, particularly the parents. With it, the location of a the child carrying the phone could be pinpointed at any given time; delicious, it's both creepy and dominating.

Do you love Tetris? Are you a minimalist? Do bright colors make you squeal with excitement? If so, I've got two words for you: Merry Christmas.
This bookshelf from Timothy Ben is supposedly arrow-based, but you can't deny its uncanny reminiscence of the game world. And that in no way is a bad thing; in my opinion, its aesthetic appeal hits a homerun. Granted, I can't possibly imagine the decor theme with which this shelving would fit.

We're all fans of LED, and it's about to get better than ever. Ever notice that nasty tint associated with LED? It's usually blue or yellow-ish, and a major turn-off either way, but no more. Unlike the existing and unstable versions,

I've seen some small MP3 players [with some large price tags], but this stands out to me. Here, we have a
credit card-like MP3 player that doubles as a USB jump drive.
Granted, it may be covered in somewhat tacky, liquid-themed graphics, and granted, it may not be a
server in your pocket (cough,
160GB iPod, cough); but you have to give some credit where credit's due.

Many people (including myself) like to have their music with them when exercising. Now there's a convenient,
wireless dock available for your iPod when you're out biking.
Being a speaker that mounts on your handlebars, it'll probably get on all of your neighbors' nerves. But hey, it's still cool for you! Of course, there are some benefits to not wearing headphones such being able to hear a car horn blaring in your direction.

"Huh?" Some may say. Well lets break this down before we get into anything. There are a few different standards for wireless data transfer, such as EDGE (mega slow), GPRS (still slow), 3G or HSDPA (resonably fast), and HSUPA (just plain fast). This are standards used in the US and other regions to rate the speed of data transferred wirelessly to you phone.
Now AT&T currently has 3G rolled out in some area, GPRS in others, and still some sad souls stuck with EDGE.
