...Start tapping in the name of a contact, and within seconds you make your call, right from the screen. Sweeter still is the Photo Speed Dial feature: line up the mugs of your beloveds right on the Today screen, to tap at will. There's also a fully customizable button-style speed dial...
...loading up the songs that I noticed a funny interface design flaw: Every so often, instead of an X in the upper right hand corner, you see an "OK" which is essentially the same thing: click it and you close your window.

...Humala enjoys a more telling poll figure: 58% of those in the survey like the fact that he doesn't belong to one of Peru's traditional and often notoriously corrupt political parties. Corruption is the hottest button for Latin voters, and it is biting pols to the left as well, especially Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, whose re-election prospects next October look dimmer with his party mired in a campaign-finance scandal. Latin American political experts say Bush should focus on rewarding clean government rather than raising the ideological temperature. His recent selection of Thomas...
