...other complaint about the Mighty Mouse is that it's not wireless. Since Apple itself sells a nice wireless mouse, and since most mouse makers have found ways to add tons of features without diminishing battery life, there really isn't any good reason why Apple didn't cut the cord this time.

In July, Motorola and Microsoft took aim with their wireless e-mail phone, called Q, which will hit stores early next year. Motorola is also rolling out an iTunes phone with Apple. That's more bad news for RIM. Because the BlackBerry is mainly limited to e-mail on its proprietary platform, many execs are switching to smart phones like Palm...

Google Print: Google has scanned thousands of books?with more to come?whose text you can now search. You can't read the whole volume, but you can see a digital image of the relevant pages.
