Arcane as it may seem, the eBay case deals with the balance of power between patent holders and users, and corporate America is keenly interested in the verdict. Silicon Valley types from Yahoo! to Intel have lined up behind eBay, while more traditional companies such as General Electric (inventor Thomas Edison's outfit) and Procter & Gamble support MercExchange, along with the entire drug industry, whose business model hinges on patent protection...
...system. Because a road trip could get pretty boring if you had to keep your radio tuned to your turn-by-turn navigator, Alpine included a rudimentary MP3 player. Take any old SD card (sold separately), fill it with MP3s or WMA files, including protected files you download from Yahoo! and other online stores, pop it into the card slot and the music player inside will find it all and blast it through your FM stations. People who use FM transmitters for their iPods will be sad to hear that there is no iPod jack, or even a simple auxiliary...

...Although the Windows Mobile software comes with Pocket MSN for handling Hotmail and MSN Messenger, T-Mobile had the sense to include additional instant-messaging software for AOL, ICQ and Yahoo! It also has a non-Microsoft e-mail system for most POP3 accounts, as well as AOL. I like, from a cold start, spelling someone's name, picking their e-mail address out of my Outlook contacts, and then deciding, in a click, whether I want to e-mail that person from my Hotmail or AOL accounts. I can't even do that...
