Palm Still Claims WebOS is worth something. HTC says no.
About two weeks ago I posted this article about Palm going on the auction block. A lot of sites (like Engadget, WMPowerUser.com, and others,) believed HTC would drop the majority of their current coffers into picking up Palm. After digging into the dirty financial black hole like singularity that is Palm’s checkbook, HTC has taken a step back. This makes a hell of a lot of sense in light of the many product releases on HTC’s table. All that cash in the bank is going to be for pumping out prelaunch handsets and marketing said handsets in the next few quarters. Find out what I’m rambling about after the break.

Super Sid Available on WM Marketplace
I never heard of this game before but it looks pretty neat. It’s a g-sensor version of Pacman but it has a little bit of Marble Worlds thrown in there. So it’s a simple arcade type game which uses the accelerometer for control on HTC devices and the Samsung Omnia. It‘s $7 from Marketplace which … Read more

TomTom’s Latest Traffic Study Reveals Most Polluting Roads in the United States
California roads have long been considered some of the most scenic, and congested, in the United States. A new study by location and navigation solutions leader TomTom gives them another distinction: the nation’s most polluting.
“As we approach Earth Day, a day in which we celebrate the environment, it’s incredible to see the impact of our daily commutes on the planet and ourselves”
The TomTom study shows the segments of roads on which vehicles produce the most carbon emissions, based on the length and time of average weekday traffic jams and the estimated number of vehicles in those jams. Of the top ten most polluting major, or interstate, roads in the country, seven are in California, including: I-5 South (#1); I 10 East (#2); I 405 South (#3); 60 East (#4); I 5 North (#6); 101 South (#8); and I 210 East (#9).
The results were calculated using data from Speed Profiles™, the historical speed database from TomTom’s licensing business unit Tele Atlas that helps personal and professional fleet drivers find the best routes. Speed Profiles aggregates, anonymously and on an opt in basis, the actual speeds that millions of GPS-enabled drivers have traveled over the last two years, providing the most accurate view of historical traffic on both primary and secondary roads. It is incorporated on TomTom GPS devices as IQ Routes™ to guide drivers away from congestion, not only on major highways but on all routes in the road network.

I Hate To Do This But…Is Lightning Real?
Just looking at the Dell Lightning leaks some more (sorry but it’s better than the other stuff on the net right now:)). Few weird things. It continually refers to the OS as “Windows Mobile 7”. That doesn’t exist. It’s Windows Phone 7. And yes, Windows Mobile appears 3 times on the same page. Then there … Read more
