- From The Useless Statistics Department - Palm Pre App Downloads
By Ed Hansberry
Now that the Apple App Store hit one billion downloads of third party
applications after just nine months, other app stores will follow suit
with their own app download progress. The application store for the Palm
Pre has had one million downloads in less than three weeks. Or has it?

- Nokia Holding Fire Sales At U.S. Flagship Stores June 25
By Eric Zeman
About 10 days ago, Nokia had a three-hour sale at its U.S. flagship
stores, where it offered pretty steep discounts on a number of its
popular phones. Tomorrow (June 25), there will be a repeat performance,
this time lasting for five hours. Also, Europe's number one contract
phone is revealed.

- HTC's Sense UI Coming To Other HTC Android Phones? Not So Fast
By Eric Zeman
The blogosphere has latched onto a short quote from HTC Peter Chou about
its newly revealed Sense user interface for Android and whether or not
it can be ported to other HTC Android phones. Chou's words seem to confirm
that it can, but there's more to the story.

- Palm Sells 150,000 Pres
By Ed Hansberry
In the three weeks since its release, Palm is estimated to have sold
150,000 Pres. There is still a bit of a backlog and strong demand,
but it seems there is a steady supply of new devices keeping the waiting
lists relatively short.

By Eric Zeman
At an event in London today, HTC unveiled its latest Android-based handset,
the Hero. On top of an impressive set of specs, the Hero boasts a brand new
user interface from HTC called Sense. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot, Flash 10
is on board, too.

- AT&T Says Network Improvements On The Way
By Eric Zeman
Anyone remember SXSWi? AT&T's cellular network in Austin was so overwhelmed
by the huge number of iPhone users during the conference that it pretty
much crashed. In response, AT&T opened up its 3G network across the 850MHz
spectrum holdings it owns in Austin to boost capacity during the conference.
It's about to do the same thing in NYC, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
