Did you miss us last week? We missed you too. Aww.
Not to fret, we’ve got two weeks-worth of news to catch up on. I just couldn’t stop playing with the BlackBerry Storm after getting it Friday night that the podcast totally slipped my mind. A bigass review is in the works, so stay tuned. In the meanwhile, Episode 12 of The Signal goes over Verizon unlocking GPS on all their handsets, as well as BlackBerry Storm return rates, Consumer Reports picking BlackJack II as their top smartphone, the new Palm software store, Seadragon for the iPhone, and plenty more. As an added bonus, we’ve got Will back! Woo Will!
Check out the Holiday Edition of The Signal after the jump!
