PC, did you consider the Nexus S? It has the advantage of being a pure Google experience phone, which means it should get upgrades faster.

The Nexus S is Sprint; I'm on T-Mobile.

It's also on T-Mobile, I assure you, as I have a T-Mobile Nexus S sitting in front of me right now.

Huh, I don't see it as an option on the website. Weird.

Huh. According to this page, it's also available for Virgin Mobile, which is news to me.

so, google has a new feature where you can search all elements of google (all their "apps") at the same time. I am not sure how best to use this.

It seems the Pope launched a Twitter account today. NBC Nightly news did a little story on it, joking "how many vatican people does it take...". Then, on the iPad NBC News app, they have some b-roll footage without any commentary, just the filming of the event. It's rather entertaining. Seeing all these guys showing the Pope how to zoom. At one point, it looked like 4 folks were touching the screen at once. I wonder if the Apple Engineers factored that in when developing the product.

I'm confused. The Pope got a Twitter account, an iPad, or both?

Go with Motorola... not that I have any conflict of interest.

I really like the Windows 7 taskbar. I have all my primary application up there and I like how you can right click and get a list of your recently used files from right there.

You can turn off transparency on Aero themes as well. Click on the color selection of the theme and you can uncheck it, or adjust the level of translucency.
