...still a standard directional pad, but the right-hand now sports a trackball where it previously had an up-and-down dial. The result is much faster navigation. Along with a speedier processor and removable battery, the new Sidekick also has Bluetooth connectivity, so that you can use a wireless earpiece, which means simultaneously increased safety and coolness. The Sidekick is also smaller, but don't get too excited: it's still too chunky to fit comfortably in the front pocket of your jeans...

The proliferation of Blackberrys, Treos, and most recently, Moto Qs, have made our umbilical cords wireless, feeding off our addiction to mother e-mail. But life before these blessed, though burdensome, conveniences did exist. Without daily doses of Dems-talk, Throp-talk, Newstalk, and innumerable other e-lists, it feels as though we would never be informed of campus’ most important (and, alas, unimportant...
