By Eric Zeman
Well, lookee what we've got here. Someone managed to capture the unannounced, unofficial BlackBerry Storm 2 for Verizon Wireless on video. Feast your eyes on this.

- More Phones Upgradable To Windows Mobile 6.5
By Ed Hansberry
Nearly two months ago, HTC confirmed that the Touch Pro2 and Touch Diamond2 would be upgradable to Windows Mobile 6.5 and HTC would provide that upgrade. It now seems that some phones by LG and Acer will be upgradable as well.

- Best Buy: No Mail-In Rebate For Palm Pre Here!
By Eric Zeman
Best Buy announced that it will be selling the Palm Pre on launch day June 6, too. It made sure to point out that the $100 mail-in rebate won't be required at Best Buy, where the Pre really will cost $200 out-of-pocket. Also, if you want the Pre sans contract, be prepared to shell out some big bucks.

- Multiple Ways To Update Your Netflix Account From Your Phone
By Ed Hansberry
If you are like me and love movies, chances are you have a Netflix account. I am always seeing ads or posters for movies that I know I won't get around to seeing in the theater. I used to just create a task on my phone to update my queue from my PC when I got home, but now I just update my queue right from my phone. The Netflix Blog points out at least nine different ways to interact with your Netflix account, many right from your phone.

- T-Mobile Delays Android 1.5 Update, Android 2.0 Spotted
By Eric Zeman
On Monday, T-Mobile delivered the bad news that it is delaying the roll-out of Android 1.5 by about a week. While that stinks, a first look at Android 2.0 will make you want to skip 1.5 altogether.

- A Clearer Case For Cloud Storage
Vendors are touting storage-as-a-service as a cure-all. But to skeptics,
cloud-based storage is an idea that's so '90s. To see what cloud storage
can really do for enterprises, we invited leading vendors to respond to
an RFI we built for a fictional company. Five answered the call with
compelling arguments for storing at least some corporate data in the cloud.

- State of Open Source Adoption
When selecting applications to meet growing business needs, enterprise
IT organizations have more options than ever. But has the overabundance
of commercial, open source, and hybrid software choices really made our
lives easier, or just added more complexity to an already lengthy evaluation
and buying process?
