Senators submit new wireless consumer protection bill – Cellphone Consumer Empowerment Act of 2007
It seems the only way to get policy-makers to actually put consumer interests ahead of political and financial interests seems to be to combine the two.

Web-apps pose security risk – watch your back
Web-apps gained some considerable steam in the early days of the iPhone’s application development (we’re using the term application quite loosely here).

HTC own globale trademark on “Touch” – could have problems with Apple’s iPod Touch
Apple might have another trademark battle on its hands. Apparently, HTC owns a global trademark on the “Touch” name as it applies to handheld devices.

Transforming Motorola E6 that can still make calls
It’s not often we see a transforming mobile phone that can literally transform – let alone still make phone calls.
