Yay!
Remember how a few days ago we got a hot tip that the Bluetooth
Dial-Up Networking profile had been disabled on the Cingular version of the

l4m3z0r writes “This rather alarming article discusses a study
of high-school students in which they were asked about censorship,

Pocketfactory - Does Bradley’s Departure Signal A Changing Strategy For PalmOne?: “Colligan has been the driving force behind the Treo line, since his days at Handspring.
