Sep 10th, 2009 at 3:00PM: Several weeks ago, we reviewed the latest Windows Mobile device from HTC - the Touch Pro2.

Aug 13th, 2009 at 10:00AM: Back in June, we reviewed the HTC Touch Diamond2 - the conclusion in that review was simple - the best Windows Mobile phone ever.

Jul 19th, 2009 at 3:30PM: Here at Gadling, we've been huge Slacker fans for ages - their personal radio player even won a spot in our top 25 travel gadgets of 2008.

As a quick reminder, the MiFi lets you connect to the Verizon Wireless ...
