• The LiveSide blog brings us news of Live Search 3.0 for Windows Mobile  Contact mapping, web searching, weather, viewing Virtual Earth collections, and expanded traffic support (hey, they have Cincinnati now!).  Have a previous version installed already? Launch it, then Menu > Client Update Available (should be enabled).  Don't have it yet? Point IE Mobile to http://wls.live.com
  
• Blackberry Thunder - BB goes touch from Electronista
  
• Thumbreport - Mobile news 160 characters at a time.
  
• Raffael has an excellent post discussing the issue of a LAP hanging a device at startup
  
• MobileStance discusses the possibility of Linux having success in mobile (unlike it has on the desktop).  I'm apt to agree here.  Although OHA will have serious competition from the LiMo Foundation now that Verizon and Mozilla are backing.
