Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines.... The Nexus One, Google's entry into the cell phone market, is rumored to debut sometime in January. Those rumors are now significantly heating up with Google's announcement of a January 5th press conference. The event could include verification of the gadget's recently speculated price, which is expected to be $530 unlocked. [From: ...

For one week every six months, even the most backwards, style-un-savvy New Yorker turns into a bit of a fashion nut. New York Fashion Week takes over the fair city, sending flocks of twig-legged girls dashing down Broadway, trying to get into (or out of) shows. Resident fashion nerd Leila Brillson takes the whole thing seriously while the rest of the staff admires her unflagging commitment to ...

President Obama may have ushered in the era of the BlackBerry at the White House, but plenty of folks who work for him use iPhones on the side. "The White House is officially BlackBerry, though many folks also own iPhones," said Aneesh Chopra, the first-ever Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Director for Technology in the White House Office of Science and Technology (yes, that's his official ...

Behold, worshipers at the altar of the keyboard! Since we've all lent our whole-hearted support to one particular operating system or gadget at some point, and since we're committed to promoting peace and understanding between rival tech factions, we pass on to you a canon of tech cults -- complete with a list of their practitioners' strange habits. The list, courtesy of the scribes of ...

We wonder how the folks over at Palm reacted after the LA Gossip Examiner reported that Angelina Jolie liked the Palm Pre more than the iPhone. We imagine the entire staff popped champagne and danced around like silent ravers. Even though almost no one else seems to have been given free-roaming access over the device, Ms. Jolie has allegedly been using the Pre (which is not yet available to the ...

The Silicon Alley Insider is doling out a bit of advice that we heartily endorse: "Don't buy a smartphone until June." It's not like there aren't any quality offerings on the market right now. In fact, if you really want a Windows Mobile phone (though we're not sure why you would), there's no need to wait. Go get one now. But be warned that, come June, there will be a whole host of new handsets ...

digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Palm_OS_Officially_Dead_Long_Live_Pre'; In a talk with investors Palm CEO Ed Colligan dropped a whole ton of previously undisclosed facts about Palm and the Pre. First off, he mentioned that other than the Centro making its way to other carriers, there will be no more PalmOS devices from Palm; they're concentrating completely on webOS and Windows Mobile. They ...

You know Palm's on to something when reputable sites start to splinter around its newly announced OS and handset. PhoneArena's fledgling sister site, WebOS Arena, has it from a "credible source" that Best Buy will be the exclusive retailer for the Palm Pre. That means that Best Buy will be the only place other than Sprint where you'll find the Pre for purchase on US soil for the first 60 days ...

We'll be honest: We weren't expecting much from Palm this year. The company has been struggling of late to establish its identity in a sea of comprehensive handsets from the likes of HTC and, of course, Apple. But, establishing a corporate identity is exactly what the Palm folks have done with the Pre, suddenly going from has-been to hot. The phone isn't exactly revolutionary with its vertical ...

Listen up all you Palm Treo Pro hopefuls, your pre-order unit is now shipping with Palm's on-line store showing in stock availability. At least one tipster received a confirmation email saying his unlocked, $549 obsidian-black Treo is in the mail. Hell, Palm even did him a solid and expedited the order overnight instead of the 6-10 day standard shipment originally selected. Good on ya Palm. ...

Hype Check: Palm Centro What it is: Palm's Centro smartphone is the PDA pioneer's longest leap yet into the world of consumer phones, sporting the functionality of the larger Treo 755p in a smaller candy bar form factor. It has a full QWERTY keyboard, and supports all the features (and third-party applications) Palm users have come to enjoy. A version of the Centro has been out on Sprint, but ...

Once upon a time, you were a nobody if you didn't have a Palm-powered PDA holstered beneath your power suit. With BlackBerrys and iPhones getting all the glory, can Palm's new Centro compete? Josh Fruhlinger reports. ...

Don't forget that this coming Sunday, Daylight Savings Time ends. Hopefully, you got your software fixes back in February or March before the clocks changed last Spring. Some predicted the Daylight Savings changes signed into law in 2005 by President Bush would result in a mini-Y2K. And they were right, just as when the the year changed from 1999 to 2000, nothing of much note occurred. There ...

The Palm Centro is coming, and it's going to be cheap. Palm today unveiled most of the details on the diminutive Palm device, including the official release of October 14 with Sprint PCS and an official price of $99 . Naturally, that price is after a $100 mail-in rebate and requires a two year commitment with a minimum $25 data plan. The teaser site, Moreyous.com, touts the phone's Bluetooth ...

Ok, so it's not the 'Centro.' In fact, it appears Palm is even keeping the "Treo" moniker that was supposed to go the way of the dodo. How or why they landed on the Treo 500 name is beyond us, but here it is in all its glory: The Windows Mobile Standard-rocking Treo 500. The thicker-than-the-BlackJack Treo 500 sports nothing in the way of innovative features. In fact, the handheld is a huge ...
