Dell laptops don’t have wireless access at TechEd!

I’ve enjoyed TechEd throughout this week – some great sessions I’ve been to, and all the folks I’ve been meeting all week – MCTs, MVPs, softies… and the parties have been great so far. The one thing that’s really been annoying me is the fact that my Dell Latitude D610 running XP SP2 can’t connect […]

Verizon first (and exclusive) with Moto Q

In one of the most anticipated product launches since about a year (for smartphone/Windows Mobile geeks anyway!), it appears Verizon will be the first and – for a while at least – exclusive provider to sell Motorola’s new Moto Q smartphone.
