Ex-Apple PR delivers Palm’s IP response
Palm’s response to Apple today was notable for a few reasons. The obvious was their no-blink attitude, facing up to notoriously-litigious Apple and, in effect, telling them to put their lawsuit money where their IP mouth is.

Update: Nokia have just issued a release saying that one million 5800 handsets have now shipped. Remember, that doesn't mean devices sold, just in circulation among consumers, stores and suppliers.
