Big news for the Palm Fans out there (aka me) this week as Palm announced that it will stop making Windows Mobile phone. Still no news about when Palm Pre or Pixi is coming to Singapore. Sony Ericsson’s new motion activated headset didn’t really change the way we listen to music forever. Google beware, Microsoft launches it’s Office Web Trial to rival Google Doc. Closer to home, MOE adopts Open Standard Internet Email and Collaboration Services from Google.
