The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that Dell plans to build its own cell phone running Google's Android operating system, and release it some time next year.

It's worth noting that Dell has tried to get into the gadget business before. They made a couple of failed stabs at the MP3 player market.

They also tried a PDA back in the day. None of these attempts made much of a dent in the market.

News Story Microsoft Ads Mess with Fuzzy Zune HD Feelings

Yesterday Microsoft launched the long-awaited Zune HD.

By all reports, this is a pretty nice device with a large 3.3 inch OLED screen with HD video and HD radio playback.

As a media player, it offers access to a limited App Store and a very nice $15 all-you-can-eat monthly music subscription service.

It looks like Microsoft put a lot of thought into the design, and at the very least, I wanted to get my hands on one at Best Buy and take it for a spin.
