...Bluetooth for wireless headsets and, unlike many Bluetooth phones in the U.S., direct communication with PC desktops. The tiny lithium ion battery can be charged from a computer's USB port, and can pull off up to 400 minutes of talk time. The integrated iTunes music player lasts up to 11 hours when you're wearing headphones and when you've got the phone in Airplane Mode - that is, with the phone connectivity turned...
...become Disney's largest individual shareholder, with a 7% stake. He is also in line for a board seat, which could advance all sorts of deals with Apple. Downloads from Disney's ABC network are already available at the iTunes video store. Think ESPN podcasts to iPods via wireless. Or an Apple TV network featuring tech talk with Jobs. Ever coy, Jobs was vague about his plans, but he is expected to push Disney to leverage its vast library across more digital platforms. He could also prove nettlesome. Famously short fused, he has said he is not interested in running...
...past few weeks, I've been wondering who is winning the video cell-phone battle between Sprint and Verizon Wireless. Which one serves up better content? The last time I tested services, Sprint had not yet introduced its EV-DO network, and the new Power Vision service that runs on that network.

There may not be live programming, but there's constantly refreshed content from some big names that Sprint doesn't yet have. CBS and the whole Viacom stable - Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central, VH1 - as well as Nascar.com and Accuweather.com. Speaking of the weather, Verizon's local coverage is not very good: Although it has both Accuweather and the Weather Channel, between them the the two only cover 21 cities...
TECHNOLOGY Let the (High-Definition) Games Begin Microsoft's Xbox 360 has the advantage of having already shipped, but Sony's competing game console may be worth the wait. Due out in May, the PS3 is supposed to have better graphics and will support up to seven wireless game pads (Xbox 360 allows four). PS3's best advantage: it will play high-definition Blu-ray DVDs. But at an expected retail price of $400 to $500, it won't come cheap. By Arlyn Tobias Gajilan...
