TOP STORY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Which Smartphone Reached 1 Million Sold The Fastest?
An enterprising reader of Engadget put together a nifty little
chart showing how fast a handful of smartphones hit the 1 million
mark. The figures used are those based on actual announced sales
by the companies involved. Those included are the Apple iPhone
and iPhone 3G, the BlackBerry Storm, the HTC G1, and the Nokia 5800.
Also, it looks like 2008 saw 1.21 billion mobile phones sold.

- iSuppli: BlackBerry Storm Innards Cost More Than The iPhone's
iSuppli sunk its teeth into the BlackBerry Storm to see what the
sum of its parts is really worth. According to its analysis, the
Storm costs RIM about $203 to make. Verizon Wireless is selling
the Storm for $199 (after rebates). Apple's iPhone 3G costs about
$174 to make and sells for $199/$299.

- House Squashes DTV Delay
In an interesting turn of events, the delay of the transition to
digital TV -- which looked all but a certainty early this week --
has been put on hold by the U.S. House of Representatives.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=37&m=31229482&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDU0ODQxMTAS1&mt=1&rt=0

- Opera Mini For Android Graduates To Full Release
Android users spoke and Opera listened. Today, Opera announced
that its Opera Mini 4.2 for Android software has graduated from
beta status and is now a full build. Lots of new goodies are on board.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=28&m=31229482&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDU0ODQxMTAS1&mt=1&rt=0

- Watch Me Beat The Snot Out Of A Motorola Tundra
Have you ever wondered just how tough rugged products are? I
have, and I decided to see just how far I could push Motorola's
newest rugged handset, the VA76r Tundra. Find out if it can
survive the heat of a blowtorch.

- New Zealand Man Buys MP3 Player, Gets 60 Pages Of Sensitive
U.S. Military Data
New Zealand's Chris Ogle probably thought it was his lucky day
when he scored a used MP3 player cheap. But his luck soured when
it turned out to be broken -- and loaded with 60 pages of U.S.
military data and personally identifying information.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=23&m=31229482&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDU0ODQxMTAS1&mt=1&rt=0

- Apple Pushes Out iPhone Firmware 2.2.1
Along with a number of software updates released today, Apple is
boosting the iPhone's firmware version by dot-one to 2.2.1. What
does the firmware include?
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=29&m=31229482&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDU0ODQxMTAS1&mt=1&rt=0

- The G1 Gets Multitouch
It looks like G1 owners won't have to be jealous of iPhone owners
and their pinch navigation, as the Android community has made
multitouch possible. Unfortunately, I have a feeling we won't see
it in an official way for a long while.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=10&m=31229482&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDU0ODQxMTAS1&mt=1&rt=0

- Should Camera Phones Be Required To 'Click'?
Here's an interesting tidbit. A new bill has been put before
Congress that would require camera phones to make a noise or
"click" whenever they are used to take a picture. The idea is to
make it clear to everyone in the vicinity that the camera phone
is being use as a camera. Is this really necessary?
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=47&m=31229482&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDU0ODQxMTAS1&mt=1&rt=0

- New Femtocell From Verizon Wireless Falls Short
Verizon Wireless officially introduced a femtocell product to
enhance in-office or in-home coverage for cellular voice service.
The big problem is, it doesn't offer any sort of boost for 3G
data services.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=3&m=31229482&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDU0ODQxMTAS1&mt=1&rt=0

- RIM CEO's Statement On Buggy Phones Is Unacceptable
The Wall Street Journal ran a story detailing the "bumpy start"
seen by Research In Motion's BlackBerry Storm smartphone.
InformationWeek detailed a lot of the Storm's software problems
in its full review of the device. In response to the rocky
launch, RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie said that such issues are the
"new reality." I think that's the wrong attitude.

10 woeful tales of data gone missing

Taser-wielding boss? Can't get to me here
Bednarz: One advantage of working from home is not being physically present when bosses behave badly. Like the boss who used a taser gun on a subordinate; he didn't have a shot at hitting a teleworker that day. Off-site employees were also spared when a boss played show-and-tell with his kidney stone and another held a meeting from inside a locked bathroom.

Windows 7 Will Not Sway XP Users
Ashley: The chances of Windows 7 suddenly winning over Windows XP users in droves are slim to none. Windows 7 is a better Vista but doesn't deliver enough advantages or differentiation from Windows XP to woo XP users from their stable, reliable and functional desktop OS. Windows 7 successes will come from new computer sales, NetBooks and Vista users treading water waiting for a lifeline out of Vista's turbulent and tragic waters.
