...hype and drama that attended the speculation about Barack Obama's 2008 presidential bid, his actual announcement was rather tepid. There was no Oprah performance filled with wordplay on "audacity" and "hope," no tension-filled live broadcast, no Monday Night Football gag, just the oddly flat, open-collared video announcement; perhaps he's already trying to tamp expectations downward, after so many weeks in the hype machine. The substance of his announcement leaves little doubt that he's sincerely interested in running, and the polls suggest that even if the YouTube clip was a little disappointing, he benefits from people...
...forget about phone calls. Look at the video, which is impressively crisp and sharp. This is the first time the hype about "rich media" on a phone has actually appeared plausible. Look at the e-mail client, which handles attachments, inline images and HTML e-mails as adroitly as a desktop client. Look at the Web browser, a modified version of Safari that displays actual Web pages, not a teensy, deformed version of the Web.

Look at the Web browser, a modified version of Safari that displays actual Web pages, not a teensy crunched-down version of the Web. There's a Google map application that's almost worth the price of admission...
...industry hopes--prays--that audiences believe all the hype for these threequels. Movie people know that for every Spider-Man, there's a thudding Hulk; for every Shrek, a wildly off-orbit Treasure Planet. They also fret that with so many seen-it-before films clogging the May-June release schedule, sequel fatigue may set in. Pandya suggests this could hurt the June 15 opening of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, a follow-up to the 2005 film Fantastic Four...
