Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime has been known to take a few shots at the competition in the past and, while he’s not exactly verging into
CE-oh no he didn’t territory this time around, it seems that he just couldn’t help himself from offering a few thoughts on Sony’s latest handheld. Speaking with
The Washington Post, Reggie says that the
PSP Go has a “fundamental concept problem in terms of ‘Who’s it for?’ and ‘What’s the benefit?” — adding that he always has the “utmost respect for all our competitors, but that it’s “interesting to try and answer the consumer question of ‘What’s in it for me?’ in that product.” Of course, Sony does have a
few answers to those questions for its part,
sort of.

We know the HD2 is hitting O2 later this month and Vodafone is getting the handset in Spain in December, but now it looks like the unlocked version isn’t too far off either: UK retailer Clove says it’ll be out on November 11 for £469, about $740 US. Importing will soon follow, to be sure, but though the phone is unlocked and sim-free we’ll be limited to EDGE in the States until that US-specific version hits our shores next year. The question is: will we be strong enough to wait?

Limiting beliefs can seriously hold us back in life. But most of the time such beliefs are invisible to us. They control some of our thoughts and behaviors behind the scenes, enough to curtail our results in some area of life.
For example, if you have the false belief that mistakes and failure are bad, then [...]
The official line is still that T-Mobile customers affected by Sidekick amnesia will be given a months’ credit on their data plan, but that may not be the end of it (and considering the magnitude of the issue for affected folks, we’d certainly hope not). At this point, they’re leaving the door open to more by saying that they’re “considering additional measures” to help soothe the souls of those who lost contacts, notes, schedules, apps, and everything else, but exactly what those “measures” are remains to be seen. Free phones? Free service? A gift certificate to a day spa? The full (albeit brief) remarks can be found after the break.

We’d heard back in May that Endless Ideas’ smallest e-reader yet would begin shipping (presumably in Europe) during the summertime, but it just recently started to make its way onto US doorsteps. Thankfully, our doorstep was among those greeted by the 5-inch reader, which boasts the same specifications as the original BeBook save for the smaller display. Priced at $199, it seemed a lot more competitive before Amazon hacked the price of its Kindle to $259, and given the dearth of WiFi / 3G WWAN, it’ll only appeal to those content with hitting up their PC via USB to get new content loaded on. Upon unboxing this cutie, we were struck at just how light and compact the whole unit is, though even with the font at its default size, we had no issues reading the crystal clear e-ink display. Screen refreshes were satisfactorily quick, and menu navigation was a breeze. As an e-reader (and MP3 player, if you wish), it’s hard to bang on the pocket-friendly BeBook Mini, but with the Kindle’s recent price drop and Sony’s $199 Reader Pocket Edition, competition is fierce.
