Engadget has gotten their hands on iPhone firmware version 2.0. Some of the new features include a scientific calculator when you turn your iPhone sideways with the calculator open and the previously announced Exchange support is as smooth as it should be.
It seems that every time a major lawsuit is launched against a plethora of companies, Buffalo is the first to get hit. Like the one about the WiFi patents from Australia like a year or two ago, Buffalo got hit first and hardest, now SanDisk is suing everyone and their brother in a new flash [...]
The team over at Engadget HQ have managed to get their hands on an Optimus Maximus keyboard presumably for review purposes. They’ve made an attempt to enlighten us to some facts we may or may not like to here so we may be able to make better purchase decisions.
Vincent finally made it over to the Nokia booth and has some hands on shots of all that new Nokia stuff they announced the other day. He was even keen enough to throw down his N95 next to the new N96 for a size/appearance comparison.

So the Palm Foleo was going to be this amazing device, it was going to be the thing that took smartphones to the next level.
