This is Gonna Be Huge

I dont normally blog about stuff like this here, but Nokia has announced its first VoIP phone. The handsets will use voice-over-IP when in range, and the usual horse-and-cart phone company plan when not in range to make a voip call. Yay! I can't wait till all the wireless carriers get the rug pulled out from under them. Especially Verizon who once charged me nearly $400 to roam in California one month. I love it when technology overcomes tyranny. Link

IE Blog: The Internet Explorer team announces the beta and begs for help (please help them if you can spare your running copy of IE6 and install IE7. seriously. please.)
