If you're fed up with Apple stuff, Engadget is more fond of the Palm Pre now. When it's released I'm sure there will be tons of videos and spec sheets here...]]>Mar 19th 2009 3:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/microsoft-set-to-release-internet-explorer-8-gold-today/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/microsoft-set-to-release-internet-explorer-8-gold-today/Mar 19th 2009 3:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/microsoft-set-to-release-internet-explorer-8-gold-today/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/microsoft-set-to-release-internet-explorer-8-gold-today/
