Thought I would share the two significant posts from Gizmodo. The first is Skype running on a Series 60 Nokia (without a PC). The other is an announcement from Microsoft touting a Skype-like service for WindowsMobile.

Earlier this week, much to my delight, a Samsung MM-A920 from Sprint. I must say that (from my initial experience) I would be happy to have this as my primary phone. Sprint and Samsung combined for the first US MP3 phone release. It was way before we had any DRM ...

Not much movement on the Billboard. Beyonce and Kanye still holding strong. Hip Hop rules the American ringtones.
