PALM TREAT The new Palm i705 ($450) is a step closer to the easy, flexible wireless e-mail access all handheld users crave. Unlike the Palm VII, the i705 checks your e-mail constantly instead of just when you ask, and it alerts you when it arrives. If the i705 had a mini-keyboard like its rival, the RIM BlackBerry, we'd give it a high five...

After weeks of playing Where's Osama?, military officials believe they have overheard bin Laden on handheld radio in the White Mountains, giving orders to his dwindling al-Qaeda forces, now estimated at just 300 to 1,000 men. If bin Laden is in Tora Bora, he and his soldiers are trapped in a box: snow-covered peaks loom on two sides, Afghan and American soldiers await...
