I don't want to sound like I hate freedom or something, but sometimes you have to question the "competition is good for everyone" thinking. I'm sure someday someone will come up with a mobile browser that will be TEH AWETHOME but today is not that day. I'm guessing the reason it took these browsers so long to hit the store has less to do with Apple's "high horse" and more to do with the fact that they all blow.

Now AOL has created a mobile platform

Not an operating system like Android but software dev platform that lives on top of a mobile OS. Noticeably absent is iPhone support, curious to see if this will come when the SDK gets released.

The next version of Windows Mobile will be heavily focused on touch

WM 7 won't release until 2009 and the most interesting new (read: not already on the iPhone) feature seems to be that you can doodle on the lock screen. Can't wait.

Music industry betting on ‘ringle’ format

A CD (wtf?) with three tracks and a ringtone, for $7, brought to you by the forward looking innovators at Sony BMG and NBC Universal. The only way this could be any dumber is if they'd chosen the cassette tape as the format.

Does Japan's history of Shinto make them more open to accepting ubiquitous computing?

Really interesting thought, especially when you think about the corollary in the West: Does the Euro/US history of Christianity limit such acceptance?
