Quite frankly, we’re still recovering from Garmin’s onslaught of GPS navigation systems at CES, but just as those last mental wounds were healing, along comes the outfit to drop yet another bomb. This time, Garmin’s taking CTIA hostage and announcing a veritable smorgasbord of application upgrades and partnerships. Up first is an upgrade to Garmin Mobile, which promises to bring a new interface and Google Local search to a variety of BlackBerry, Symbian and WinMo handsets. Continuing on, we’re also hearing that Garmin GPS owners can “now send locations found on Google Maps” and MapQuest, select Samsung handset owners can grab hold of Mobile Navigator and Garmin Mobile now plays nice with nTelos’ lineup of BREW-enabled devices. Thirsty for more? Fantastic — you’ll be bubbling over once you get done perusing the links below.

http://live.pirillo.com - The experiment is officially over. This day I’m going back to Windows XP. I really found myself needing to use Windows software. You don’t realize how dependent you get on utilities like Notepad and Microsoft Paint until you no longer have them.

While rumors swirl about an EA/Take-Two takeover, the company’s programmers are quietly working on a new MMORPG based on William Stryon’s book Sophie’s Choice. Set in post-war Brooklyn, the MMOPRG will introduce a new “moral” game engine that encourages nuanced thought and reactions to real-life scenarios. While you can never play as Sophie or Stingo, […]
 While rumors swirl about an EA/Take-Two takeover, the company’s programmers are quietly working on a new MMORPG based on William Stryon’s book Sophie’s Choice. Set in post-war Brooklyn, the MMOPRG will introduce a new “moral” game engine that encourages nuanced thought and reactions to real-life scenarios. While you can never play as Sophie or Stingo, you can interact with their characters. The game will not touch upon the more controversial aspects of the book and movie but should instead focus on the lifestyles and mores of an era shattered by war and riddled with moral ambiguity. Jack Johnson will be supplying some of the soundtrack and Meryl Streep is slated to do some introductory voiceover work. More info as we get it.

While I tend to agree that RIM’s OS is definitely showing its age, Henry Blodget is totally down on the new 9000 interface with its iPhon-esque UI and, well, Blackberry-esque keyboard and lack of touchscreen. Again, this phone is not for skinny-jeans wearing hipsters. It’s for straight-leg khaki-wearing business guys who won’t shut up about […]
While I tend to concur that RIM’s OS is definitely showing its age, Henry Blodget is absolutely down on the new 9000 interface with its iPhon-esque UI and, well, Blackberry-esque keyboard and lack of touchscreen. Again, this phone is not for skinny-jeans wearing hipsters. It’s for straight-leg khaki-wearing business guys who won’t shut up about automobiles and golf. Therefore, they’re perfectly happy upgrading incrementally every few months just to spend a tiny of that IT budget.
We’re glad to see RIM respond to the iPhone, even if it means we might actually have a choice to make when we finally trade in our battered Curve. (Until we saw the 9000 pics, we were just nursing the Curve along until the 3G iPhone came out. Now, we’ll at least take the 9000 for a test-drive. Who knows–we might even stick with the keyboard.) Given the rate at which business folks are setting aside keyboard concerns and snapping up iPhones, however, the days in which RIM had the corporate market to itself are gone.
I personally think Henry has a worse problem. His tendency to use the Royal We is unnerving.

I hate, hate spam and fully concur that spammers should, after being convicted, be torn apart by a pack of BigDogs, drawn-and-quartered style. Spam is now 15 years old, and over 90% of communications on the World wide web are spam.

I hate, hate spam and fully concur that spammers should, after being convicted, be torn apart by a pack of BigDogs, drawn-and-quartered style. Spam is now 15 years old, and over 90% of communications on the Internet are spam.
Mark Sunner, chief analyst at on the internet security firm Message Labs, likens fighting spam to an arms race, and in a sense he’s right: each time the spam fighters make an advance, the spammers make an advancement beyond that.
Likely this war of attrition will never end, but thankfully modern spam filters kill most of what comes in. Many people think that spam kills some parts of the World wide web, but if those people had adequate filters, they problem wouldn’t be there at all.

Just like we heard, AT&T is now offering Motorola’s MOTO Z9. $150 (after $50 on-line discount and 2-yr contract) nabs the new slider with GPS for AT&T’s rebranded TeleNav service — now called AT&T Navigator. It’s also stuffed with microSD expansion, stereo Bluetooth, and quad-band GSM with WCDMA 850/1900 supporting 3.6Mbps HSDPA data. Surprisingly, the 2 megapixel camera we saw in the early prototype last year has been whittled back to 1.3 megapixels. Come on Moto, what’s 0.7 megapixels between friends?
[Thanks, Mark and Orhan C.]

April 14th — just like we expected, that’s the date T-Mobile subscribers will gain access to the WiFi totin’ BlackBerry Pearl 8120. Unlike AT&T’s offering, that’s WiFi for voice and data thanks to T-Mobile’s HotSpot @Home service. EDGE data, 2 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, 3.5-mm headphone jack, SureType keyboard, and microSD / SDHC expansion for your multimedia round out the specs quite nicely. Now all we need is the price, right T-Mob?
