ATT, Sprint and T-Mobile – they are all in for the big battle and who wins the ‘Smartphone Wars’ is something that only the next few months will decide. All three phones have some pretty striking features but should they really FORCE their loyal customers into expensive data plans? The Pre and 3G S got some sophisticated hardware and effective cost-wise, Palm Pre wins hands down.

Too thin a manila envelope can conceal it! Hey, do we really have to compromise for such an anorexic MacBook which lacks Optical Drive/User Replaceable Hard Drive/Battery/RAM? 5 day wait for replacing a battery? Such are the hard facts …
