Mobile Magazine: Apple may have one of the skinniest portable audio players on the market, but iRiver’s got the appeal of Disney.
We’ve already seen the Mickey Mouse MP3 player before, but the device has now been upgraded with something that will either amaze you or creep you out.

Register Hardware: T-Mobile G1 manufacturer HTC plans to develop more handsets based on Android. It maintains this will not affect its Windows Mobile business – the Google platform and Microsoft’s are “complementary”, it claimed.
According to a report by DigiTimes, John Wang, Chief Marketing Officer at HTC, said that both systems have their merits, and so handsets based on either platform will appeal to different users.
For example, he said, Windows Mobile offers high performance, interoperability and a large library of applications. Android is more flexible because of its open source architecture.
