- What Microsoft And Nokia Should Have Announced In Partnership
By Eric Zeman
On Wednesday tech industry giants Microsoft and Nokia announced a new partnership whereby Nokia will begin pre-loading Microsoft's Office Mobile products on its smartphones. That's nice, but it isn't the type of leadership that these companies are capable of displaying.

- Thoughts On The HTC Touch Pro 2

- The Empires Strike Back *Update*
By Marin Perez
Looks like Microsoft and Nokia will make an announcement tomorrow morning, and it could be a major deal considering the heft of the two companies.

By Eric Zeman
