- Verizon Practically Giving Away Palm Phones For Free
By Eric Zeman
Today Verizon Wireless rolled out a new promotion for Palm's lineup
of webOS devices, the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus. Verizon has discounted
the Pre Plus from $150 to just $50, and the Pixi Plus from $50 to $30
-- and that doesn't include the buy-one-get-one free offer. Fire sale?

- Early iPad Reviews Paint Positive Picture
By Eric Zeman
The usual, Apple-picked suspects have reviewed Apple's iPad, due on
April 3. All of the reviews are generally positive, and offer only
mild criticism of Apple's latest new gadget.

- Proposed Ban On Texting For Truckers
By Ed Hansberry
In January, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood issued a temporary
texting ban for truckers. Now there is a proposal to make the ban permanent.
What shocks me is that this is only happening now, in 2010. Texting has been
a deadly distraction for years for drivers. Why has it taken the federal
government so long to implement this?

- More Details Surface On iPhone 4.0 Multitasking
By Eric Zeman
The next major iPhone operating system update -- to 4.0 -- purports
to bring with it monumental shifts in the way the iPhone works and behaves.
Chief among them will be multitasking, the ability to run two or more
applications at once, with the non-active ones remaining open in the
background.

- iPad Encouraging New Levels Of Tech Obsession
By Eric Zeman
Techies, geeks and Apple fanboys alike are exhibiting alarming symptoms
of obsession over the iPad. Apple is doing its own part, too, to fan the
flames of excitement with its controlled mitigation of minutia.

- Hackers: How To Manually Update Droid To 2.1
By Eric Zeman
If you're the type to take risks and can't wait for Verizon's official
over-the-air Android 2.1 update to reach your Motorola Droid, here are
the instructions you need to update it manually.

- iPad Apps May Cost More
By Ed Hansberry
If you already have an iPhone you probably have a suite of apps that
you can't do without. Before you assume you'll buy them all for the
iPad, you might want to check out the pricing. According to preliminary
information, some developers are considering charging two, three or even
as much as five times the price they charge for the iPhone.

- Apple Updates iTunes Ahead Of iPad Launch
By Eric Zeman
Today Apple made iTunes version 9.1 available via its software update
tools. The new version of iTunes offers just a handful of new features,
mostly geared toward Saturday's launch of the iPad.
