Handango Download Protection or Legalized Extortion?

News Aggregators on Your PDA: Ilium Software NewsBreak vs. Spb Software House Insight

Fairly recently, I bought an HTC Universal (the O2 XDA Exec version–see the unboxing here. I fluctuate pretty wildly on whether I love this device (“God, this screen is nice!” “I love surfing the internet from my PDA!”) or hate it (“F($%& Windows Mobile!” “D#@*$ slow download speed!”), but one thing I continue to enjoy [...]
