- Man, there's nothing like good, old fashioned, rock and roll... add a bit of industry resentment to that with a double-shot of cynicism, and you get one of the best "new" rock bands going. This album

- Joe Williams was Figure Two in my three-man education in singing. A brilliant vocalist, scatter, and interpreter of jazz and blues, Williams produces music that's totally unique, yet sounds so effortl

- This record is perhaps U2's finest hour, yet it has been forgotten as a strange by-product of the ZooTV tour's overload, and is generally regarded by most fans as a poor effort. It is this sentiment t

T-Mobile Goes After iPhone with Wing
Monday, May 21st, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
T-Mobile unveiled its latest smart phone offering on Tuesday with Apple’s iPhone clearly in its sights. Like the iPhone, the Wing offers GSM/GPRS/EDGE data support, Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth, a 2 megapixel camera, and a built-in Web browser and email application. Unlike the iPhone, the Wing runs Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 6 operating system.

Although the Wing does include a touch screen interface, it does not offer the iPhone’s multi-touch technology, and it sports a slide-out mini keyboard. In comparison, Apple’s iPhone offers an on-screen keyboard with predictive typing technology.
The Wing even falls in the same price range as the iPhone before rebates. the wing is priced at US$499.99, while the iPhone will be priced at $499 for the 4GB model or $599 for the 8GB version. After rebates and agreeing to a two-year contract, the Wing drops to $299.99.
While the Wing is available today and Apple’s iPhone won’t be available until late June, T-Mobile’s offering hasn’t garnered nearly as much consumer interest. If that is any indication, T-Mobile’s new consumer-oriented smart phone won’t offer the iPhone much competition.
