Sure, we could beat around the bush and say, "well, the test report calls it an iPAQ and it's got both GSM and HSPA on the 850 and 1900MHz bands, so it's probably headed to AT&T" -- but let's cut to the chase for once, shall we?

It sounds like they’re expecting to start selling it in Korea this November, followed by overseas sometime next year.
The pain to balance this pleasure is certainly going to be the price.
Sony ’s XEL–1 dropped in at over £3,000 when it was first launched – so I’m guessing that a few grand, a kidney... Read Full Story

Computer scientist Stephen Wolfram gave a report today listing what the team at Wolfram Alpha , his new search engine, did this summer. They added new knowledge domains and over 2 million lines of code, classified 54,233 bugs and suggestions, and generally fixed what doesn’t work.

What he left out of his school report was the most interesting thing that... Read Full Story
