- iPhone Nano: The Rumor That Just Won't Die
It's baaaaaaaaaaack! Yep, rumors of the iPhone Nano refuse to go away.
Last week we saw some mock-ups of possible iPhone Nano cases. This week
we get full-blown images of the iPhone Nano. It is real, or another
Photoshop job?

- Garmin: Oh, You Mean THAT Android Phone?!?
Updated: This morning, the Internet was rife with reports that Garmin,
maker of GPS equipment, will be releasing phones based on Google's
Android operating system in the latter half of 2009. Is it, or isn't
it?
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=39&m=30772045&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDQzODc4MTUS1&mt=1&rt=0

- Report: 2008 Mobile Web Use Grew 463%
Opera Software issued its last "State of the Mobile Web" report today for
2008. What do the numbers tell us? Social networking is popular, the mobile
Web is growing by leaps and bounds, and smartphones are leading the way.

- Google Bakes A 'Cupcake' For Android
If you're wondering when Android is going to make the next leap in
functionality, wonder no longer. A new update to the Android platform,
called "cupcake," brings with it more than some simple bug fixes. New
features galore will be baked into the OS, as well. Guess what, Apple?
Android is getting cut-and-paste and video recording before the iPhone!

- Is The BlackBerry Storm A Success Or Not?
Scattered reports across the Internet claim that the BlackBerry Storm
is being returned in droves. Verizon Wireless insists that the Storm
is "its best-selling device." Which is the truth?
