Here is some of what was reported:
“… The quarry worker, whose name has not been released, was found dead Wednesday with a melted [...]

Did my blog stop aggregating on MXNA?

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

If you are reading this via MXNA, then disregard …
Just an FYI, but my blog apparently stopped aggregating on MXNA.
No idea why. It appears to be working fine on my end and aggregates elsewhere …

If you didn’t know, the N810 is what Nokia is calling an “internet tablet” (logically, it’s the “successor” to the N800, which didn’t receive much fan fare IMHO).
It’s got a Flash 9 player (browser based implementation I do believe), [...]

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

Via engadget … some speculation on a “new” iRiver Clix device: 2/4/8GB capacities and a rumored 3-inch LCD. You can see the “teaser” here.
Original source from irverfans.com. I’ll believe it when I see the mystery device up on www.iriver.co.kr.
No word whether this iRiver device supports Flash Lite (if it even exists, that is).
