The Daily Engadget: Palm App Catalog Gets Pulled Offline, Windows Mobile 6.5 Reviewed
Our friends over at Engadget obsessively cover everything new in gadgets and consumer electronics, which is why we compile this daily roundup of their top stuff (or, at least, what we think is tops). For more details on any of these stories, click on the Engadget links in each story below.

Palm's App Catalog Goes Live, Goes Offline
At long last, Palm's App Catalog went live yesterday. Then, just a few hours later, it was gone again, a victim of a bug that allowed for free app downloads.

Windows Mobile 6.5 Reviewed
WinMo 6.5 is finally here, and Engadget takes an in-depth look at what's new in the latest version of Microsoft's mobile OS: an updated Windows Marketplace, improved mobile browsing (via a revamped Internet Explorer), and themes from designers like Isaac Mizrahi and Vera Wang.


Google Partners With PowerMeter to Enable Whole-Home Electricity Monitoring
With Google's PowerMeter home electricity meter, you can check your home's power usage, upload your activity to the Internet, and even upgrade the software in order to detect solar or wind power. At $200, this TED seems like kind of a steal -- particularly when you think of the power-bill money you'll save.

Prototype Multi-Touch Mice from Microsoft
The mouse may have gotten rather more swoopy and festooned with buttons since its inception decades ago, but it's still very much the same design. These concepts from Microsoft, however, are rather different.

Cell Phone Design Contest Yields Crazy Results
Looking for a phone that could be mistaken for an ash tray, bracelet, or a paper maché model? Check out these prototypes from Fujitsu.

Organic EL Bracelet Lights Up Beautifully
It takes a lot to get noticed at the rave scene, but we think these organic electro-luminescent bracelets might just be enough to do it.

Adobe Creates iPhone App Tools for Developers
Flash developers can throw together nice looking apps in minutes using tools from Adobe, but those resulting apps have always been limited to running on platforms that support Flash. That's no longer the case, as Adobe is allowing developers to push Flash apps straight to native code for the iPhone.
