One of the most popular applications is expected to be sophisticated games that users can play off-line. To promote the service, Verizon is selling Sharp...

The bipartisan study also raises the likelihood that onetime Enron board members will come under renewed pressure to resign directorships at other major corporations like Lockheed Martin and Qualcomm. Wendy Gramm has already stepped down from several of her board assignments, but her husband Phil is leading the G.O.P. bid to block legislation due before the Senate this week that its proponents say will prevent future Enrons. --By Adam Zagorin
