According to the document, most of AT&T Mobility’s current Windows Mobile offerings will see WM6.1 upgrades later this month, including the AT&T Tilt, BlackJack 2, and Motorola Q 9h. The Pantech Duo won’t see WM6.1 until October, and the Palm Treo 750 isn’t scheduled for an update at all.
The inconvenient truth about data centers is that they consume lots of power. In addition to running a building-full of systems and storage devices 24/7, power is also consumed for networking equipment, cooling, battery backups, and even to support more modest human needs, such as lights and coffee makers. Both economically and socially, the United States is growing more conscientious of the need for power conservation. That’s where programs like Energy Star take an active role.

GearDiary.com has posted what is believed to be a leaked 2008 Product Roadmap for AT&T Mobility, in which the BlackJack 3 is scheduled for a Q4 2008 release.

While there are quite a few manufacturers building GeForce 8800M equipped notebooks, almost all of them are high-end products that demand top dollar for the pleasure.

Yet it’s still powered by a GeForce 8800M, just like
Samsung has started spreading the word to its customers that NAND flash memory chips are going to be harder to come by for a little while as Samsung diverts much of its available supply to Apple. When Apple places an order for 50 million 8Gb NAND chips, it shouldn’t be a surprise that Apple gets to cut the line and is offered a spot at the front of the queue.

In any discussion of the vulnerability of your computer to malware, the discussion is often centered around the cutting edge of the battles between new threats and new versions of browsers and software to combat them.

Gasoline costs four bucks, but a gallon of it will get you twenty or thirty miles farther away from your mother-in-law, so it’s worth it. Printer ink is famously expensive, going for upwards of $8000 a gallon, but at least you can use it to print a letter to the editor of your newspaper complaining about high gasoline prices.
