T-Mobile BlackBerry Bold 9700 Review
Every few months RIM manages to bring to market a new BlackBerry that remedies minor flaws to the OS from previous iterations with updated hardware that’s both gorgeous and functional.

Twitter to Axe Suggested User List
I’ve never been one to take Twitter’s suggestions as to who to follow. I follow who I want, when I want. It appears as though their much-vaunted “suggested users” list is going the way of the dodo, says the AP out of Malaysia.

The Nook: Maybe Not a Huge Disaster for Amazon
Now we have nooks and vooks, I’m going to go trademark wook and pook just in case.
This thing does look pretty cool. (And by the way, who built it? Can’t be internally developed.) I wonder whether Bezos is jumping up and down on his fedora right now. Or I mean, he is, but how hard? For the obligatory contrarian viewpoint, read …
