LG Wave brings A-GPS to Alltel – mid-range phone with assisted GPS

Picasso phone
What you’re about to see is the official Picasso phone. Although it is inspired by the famous Spanish painter, the shiny clamshell sports only the so-last-year 1.3 MP camera. I thought the idea would be to take good photos. Or I was wrong… Anyway, the Picasso phone (model GF901) comes in 3 different colors —…
4 things I would like to see in Palm Foleo
I admit, I’m still not convinced that I actually need a “mobile companion.” Still, if done correctly I may easily change my mind.
