Saw this device in the hands of the Seattle HTC/T-Mobile rep on a flight to Phoenix for DEMO and was impressed. The rep was too, saying he'd been using the device a while now and really like it. Too bad T-Mobile has nothing to compete with EVDO right now.

What does Google really have that Microsoft or Yahoo can't get or do? Their video store really sounds stupid and the fact that they got CBS is, well, clearly due to the fact that NBC and ABC jumped on the iTunes (better) idea first. Google's UI for search is brilliant. It's simple and works. But, I haven't yet seen that translated into anything else they've touched. Whether Google crashes before or after the housing market turns is anyone's guess - but this emperor has fewer clothes in his closet than everyone things. And, for gods, sakes - get some better speakers at the top of the food chain. Larry can't speak publicly. Google is great for search - but they're going to stumble in all these new areas.
