Getting back to the Sansa Viewer, I think this had more to do with the recent pact signed between SanDisk and Microsoft. Not only did the Sansa Viewer get shelved, but their new U3 technology, which would have allowed us to run entire applications directly on TransFlash devices, got shelved as well. It appears Microsoft has once again bought up the competition and put them on the shelf until they can find a way to monopolize the market. Very sad.
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.
