A Journey of Blackberry After Ten Years

The year is 1999. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, gas is 94 cents a gallon, Bondi Blue iMacs are a staple in dorm rooms across the country, and Microsoft is trying to bring the desktop Windows experience to the pocket, pushing its Palm-size PC concept (after Palm had quashed the original "Palm PC" branding) on a world still feeling jilted by the failures of the Apple Newton. 3Com subsidiary Palm and its heavyweight licensee Handspring have figured out something interesting...

Smartens Up Your Bicycle with Pedal Brain

Cyclists already have a range of dedicated devices to choose from that will help them with their training, and it looks like they'll soon have an iPhone app / accessory kit to call their own as well.

Mozilla Sets High Hopes for Fennec

Mozilla hopes that Fennec, the mobile version of their web browser Firefox, will be popular enough to render mobile applications that you purchase off the iTunes App Store unnecessary. First to see action on the Nokia N900, Fennec boasts of having the fastest Javascript engine of any mobile device. One of its main advantages would be making it easier to develop a mobile application, especially when it comes to cross-platform support. Sounds like they have high hopes for Fennec, and so do...
