Radio On!
Bring up the subject of radio with almost anybody, and you’re virtually guaranteed to strike a vein of nostalgia. Some deep-seated aspect of human nature must account for this. Maybe radio creates vivid memories by making listeners stretch their imaginations… or maybe the fact that we all spent our impressionable adolescences riding around in cars with the radio cranked up had a lasting influence. But whatever the explanation may be, everyone has a favorite radio show from the good old days. And were the good old days the age of Jack Benny in his Maxwell, Jonathan Richman in his Plymouth Roadrunner, or something in between? You make the call.

Not as a replacement for touch and multi-touch, but in addition to. You see, HTC seems to understand that some of us like to pull out a pen and write down a phone number, or jot a note. That has my attention.
Samsung Galaxy Tab On Sale at AT&T Nov. 21, $649
Set to damage my credit card on the 21st, the $649 is for a no-commitment plan. Meaning, if you’re not ready for an upgrade, your going to pay full boat.
There are two options for connectivity; $14.99 for 250MB, or $24.99 for 2GB.
