Nokia Android Netbook in 2010
An analyst from Lazard Capital Markets (Daniel Amir) wrote a research note this mroning claiming Nokia will launch an ANdroid netbook in 2010.

T-Mobile customers will be able to pre-order the MyTouch 3G between July 8th and July 28th… but when will it actually be available?

This is being viewed as fairly big news but I’m also fairly skeptical - WiMax launched in Baltimore last year to initial excitement but since [...]
Sprint HTC Hero Rumor Isn’t New
Rumors are circulating that Sprint is internally testing the HTC Hero and we just want to remind everyone: these rumors aren’t new. Two months ago we published an article suggesting the HTC Hero would have an October 11th launch day for Sprint.
