Meanwhile, the Android Smartphone train keeps on running - though perhaps not quite on date.

The BlackBerry Leak-Machine worked overtime that week as we saw multiple bits of news hit the World Wide Web.

Pre-WWDC crazy-time continues with leaks — real and imagined — of next-generation iPhone 32GB from T-Mobile Austria, AT&T, Vodafone Australia, and Rogers Canada. Just what specs will that next gen iPhone have? Consensus seems to have been reached, even whether rumors about on-device TV and movie downloads aren’t among them… yet.
TiPb plus weighs in on iPhone 3.0 vs. Palm Pre — which should you buy? And, yes, more controversy shook the App Store… on both sides. But hey, at least AT&T is considering lowering their goods rates, right?

The faraway march toward Windows Mobile 6.5 and some new hardware continues. Microsoft’s My Phone sync service moved to an open beta.

We reviewed the European version of the HTC Touch Diamond 2. The Samsung Epix got a ROM update. Microsoft clarified app sharing in the Marketplace. The Samsung Jack and Touch Diamond 2 made TV appearances. And we gave away an HTC Fuze and Touch Dual.
