Griffin then talks about Palm's new smartphone specs and their new OS, Nova. He then talks about RIAA dropping MediaSentry but still using the "tattletale" method to get those illegal music traders. Griffin moves on to talk about the CE3100 Media Processor that will have Flash Lite built into it - Online video to your TV here we come! He then talks about an article about two people that switched cold turkey to Macs over the holidays (definitely worth a read).

well i dont know much about it... also does anyone know of any applications for the storm? like iphone esq applications?

[sweetgeektv]

See, that was one of my big concerns about the Storm is that it really didn't have any developer base behind it - thus meaning fewer applications. If you find a place better than berrystore dot c o m let me know - good luck :)
