As to the speculation, a previous roadmap leak and T-Mobile’s own reps indicate it’ll be a HTC-built handset set for a September release, while a careful eyeballing of that silhouette leads us to thinking it’s the same device as the purported myTouch HD we’ve been seeing around here lately.

Alas, SSDs are still niche items, and Toshiba is doing all it can to keep them that way, demonstrating a successful prototype of a new storage technique called bit-pattern recording that currently generates a storage density of 2.5Tb per square inch.

Michael Dell given an unsubtle hint by displeased shareholders


It’s looking very much like that SEC investigation into Dell and Intel’s overly intimate relationship has aggrieved investors in the former company. In a recent shareholder vote on the subject of Michael Dell’s continued presence on his eponymous company’s board, an almost unprecedented 25 percent expressed their desire that he leaves.
