Maybe AIG should buy one for each of their executives, now that they've received an additional $34 billion from the US Government.

To those of you who purchased the Mini 9, why did you choose this over MSI Wind or Acer Aspire One, or even Asus 1000H?

Sprint and other carriers shouldn't bother marketing WinMo to the iPhone crowd. I am a long-time WinMo business user. I know the OS is klunky, and it often takes me two to three days to tweak a new phone to my liking. However: Exchange, Outlook sync, medical references, GPS, Google Maps/Windows Live, and TETHERING (for $20/month) are all essential for me to get through any given work day. Plus, I don't want to use the same phone that 14 year-old girls, mallrat "playas" and grandmothers use. Keep WinMo professional, and iPhone mainstream.

The pictures look like they were taken with an iPhone.

What about Asimov's third law? Is it willing to protect its own existence?

FWIW, I've got Telenav on my motorola q9h, and I never use it. It features turn-by-turn voice nav, updated POIs etc, but it's still too cumbersome compared to my Garmin 670. Garmin is coming out with their own cellphone/GPS combo, but until they do, most cellphone GPS'es are more novelty than anything else.

If I were Audi, I would focus on increasing reliability of their current vehicles instead of adding bells and whistles to new ones. I can't tell you how many times I've seen brand new Audi's driving around with blown headlights and tail-lights. Most of these cars haven't even received their license plates yet. They need serious quality control.

It's mid-May and it's only 45 degrees in Chicago. Dang, that sucks.

Six or seven years ago, Pocket PC PDAs were much more expensive than Palm-based PDAs. When Dell introduced the (cheaply priced) Axim X5, it brought a whole new user base to what is now Windows Mobile. I still have fond memories of my X5 brick; it was the device that switched me over from Palm OS. I've been through seven or eight Windows Mobile devices now and haven't looked back.

After reading the headline, I thought this was going to be another fly-by-night gimmick like "SoftRAM."
