...approach 140 million. Virtually all phones being made today have microbrowser capability, enabling them to surf the Web. PDA sales are exploding; they're projected to rise from 8.9 million last year to 35 million in 2003. That's largely due to a flurry of new devices from Casio, Compaq and Hewlett-Packard, as well as newcomers Handspring and Research in Motion. And others will surely leap in too, among them electronics giant Sony...
...portable equipment I jam into them every morning: CD player, Palm Pilot, e-mail pager, voice recorder, a novel for the train. Pocket PC promises to do the work of all of the above in a single 9-oz. shell (made variously by Compaq, H-P and Casio).

...Canadian named Benni Noris. When officials opened the trunk of his rented Chrysler, they found what looked like the contents of a bombmaker's shopping cart: 118 lbs. of urea; two 22-oz., three-quarters-full jars of nitroglycerine; 14 lbs. of sulfate; and four timing devices consisting of Casio watches, nine-volt batteries and circuit boards. The man bolted but didn't make it six blocks before being captured...
...usual energy, and Bryan's fleet drumwork was more innovative than usual. The gimmick of a hyperactive, high-speed, truncated version of a song had failed miserably in my first show, in 1998, and it was a dud here on "Perfect." "All the Way Up to Heaven," with its Casio rhythm track and pre-recorded whistles, is a song that does not translate well to live performance, even though the crowd was whistling along. The guest musicians were solid when not left out of the mix entirely (i.e., the cellist whose name I couldn't hear from the balcony). Ryan...
