Tue, November 17, 2009 - NASA's Website connects everyday folks to the goings on of the universe (and the goings on of the American space agency that eats up a substantial part of the national budget). The site is packed with information, and it delivers NASA's day-to-day activities in a clean, intuitive, and visually compelling way. Now you can get all the information the Website offers on your iPhone or iPod touch through the free NASA app for iPhone.
Fri, November 13, 2009 - I've lusted for an iPhone ever since it first went on sale -- but the nearest AT&T tower to my home is about 10 miles away. So I use Verizon Wireless and an ancient (four years old!) Motorola Q smartphone.
Thu, November 12, 2009 - The latest Android 2.0-based "iPhone killer" won't kill theiPhone or the BlackBerry -- and the cheaper HTC Droid Eris is the new smartphone that I think Apple should be concerned about.

This article gives InfoWorld's ratings for all six -- the Apple iPhone, HTC Droid Eris, Motorola Droid, Palm Pre, Research in Motion BlackBerry Bold, and RIM BlackBerry Storm 2 -- plus an interactive ratings form in which you can enter your own weighting for each category in our exclusive [

Wed, October 28, 2009 - The MPro120 Pocket Projector, by 3M, lets you project videos, photos and presentations from a video source (such as your notebook, camcorder or even an iPhone) onto a wall or other screen surface.
Fri, October 23, 2009 - Mixing social networking and entertainment features with the familiar BlackBerry-brand business-centric tools, the lightweight BlackBerry Curve 8520 ($130 with a two-year contract; price as of 10/22/09) is a solid but underpowered addition to Research in Motion's lineup of thumb-friendly smartphones.
