Cell phone, handheld, and PDA’s

In about a week my contract with T-Mobile expires.

I’m in the market for a WiFi-ready, PDA/phone along the lines of a Treo and Blackberry and was wondering what all 3 readers here might recommend.

Amazon.com and eBay have some pretty good deals, and my friends typically buy from them.

The MDA Smartphone is somewhat tempting.

Any thoughts?

When is a blog, not a blog?

So here’s the situation.  Uber popular social networking website, Facebook, added the ability for users to view RSS feeds and edit their own “blog.”

However, they did not create an output RSS for the end-user, so only people registered with Facebook can read it.

Furthermore, Facebook now has their own official blog (which is public) yet it does not have an RSS feed of its own.

How is that a blog in the 21st century?
