Just thought I’d put up these hands-on reviews of the Blackberry Storm. Maybe this will be able to hold Verizon customers over until the Iphone makes its way over to the superior coverage of Verizon. I wanna try one of these. Apparently the touchscreen keyboard (of which I have never been a fan) is the best yet. Here’s the links…

I used to think OLED might be the wave of the future display-wise. And with good reason, they may still be (as soon as some of the kinks are worked out with lifetime). However, Microsoft has decided to develop there own display technology. It actually isn’t a bad concept either. You can think of it as sort of a modified version (concept-wise) of Texas Instruments DLP technology using millions of tiny little mirrors that are able to switch much faster than liquid crystals can bend or splay. Anyways, here’s one of the articles. I’ll try to put up more later. If you want to find more yourself, just look up “telescopic pixel” or something similar.

There’s actually a good article about it in my new issue of CPU…so you’ll be able to check it out when I get done with it Maverick.
