Again, would like to point out the results I am seeing (and others) are consistent with COMPRESSION having been enabled, not a full 7.2 upgrade. Compression would only affect some speed tests and not others since it depends on the type of test data being transmitted.

I believe this is not 7.2 mb. Why? See my blog post here http://bit.ly/4tm8Ao for details, but the gist is it looks like they turned on Compression. Using several test sites I still get 500-750kb/sec on 3g. However on some, I get 4-5mbit on 3g. The crazy is that on EDGE I was getting 2mbit on mobilespeedtest.com! And browsing does seem faster. But EDGE - that cannot be 7.2mbit rollout. What it CAN be is that compression has been enabled or increased at the server level. Speed tests that use highly compressible data will show the highest theoretical speeds, whereas tests which use compressed data will show the real speed. Thus, browsing will be snappier, but actual audio/video streaming and VOIP wouldn't benefit.

However, if you can afford Princeton, you can certainly drop some change on a Kindle.

Lol, yes no upgrades to frustrate me.

Still using my Tungsten E (E, not E2) ... and not really any motivation to upgrade... Yeah the TX is nice... but I'd be paying all that extra for wifi I'd hardly use and a bigger screen. Bigger screen is nice, but 320x320 to 320x480 is not worth it for me.

Treo/Centro are not ideal for me because I like to also read ebooks on my Palm. Treo is bulky compared to the base palm, and the Centro's screen is physically smaller despite the same resolution.

Now, if Apple & Samsung and everyone else can make these super-slim touch devices... why can't Palm turn the TX into a phone without bulking it up like a TreoBrick? I'd buy THAT. THAT would be worth an upgrade.

Till then, I'll keep my T|E for PDA stuff, and my Sanyo KATANA for occaisional internet use with Opera Mini and everyday phone purposes.

Erm.... the vote box didn't ask for any login/identifying information, so how can one of the readers who votes on one of those names be in with winning one?

Or do you mean someone who picks a name on the comments *other than* the ones in the vote box?

Number 5 is right, I believe. There was no 1984 Dodge Shadow. If the car really is an 84, maybe it was an Omni?

And, of course, the average citizen has no way to force google to remove anything defamatory about them, although large businesses do so all the time.
