For awhile, we couldn't decide what we were more angry at: the fact that select devices wouldn't support Flash, or that Flash was simply too demanding on select devices. We still can't say with any degree of certainty which side of the fence we're on, but there's no question that Apple's refusal to play nice with Adobe on the iPhone, iPod touch and forthcoming iPad limits the abilities of those devices significantly. Curiously enough, it seems that Apple's importance in the mobile (and media delivery) realm is coercing select portals to develop Flash-free websites for those who drop by on an iDevice. Both the National Public Radio and the Wall Street Journal are furiously working on iPad-friendly websites, which will be devoid of Flash for at least the first few pages down. What's interesting is that we get the impression that this will soon become the rule rather than the exception, and it could be exactly what's needed to launch HTML5 into stardom and put these Flash or no Flash debates behind us.

We have heard from multiple sources that the much-awaited Android 2.1 OS upgrade due to start today, has been delayed. We’re told a last minute bug late last night was found. There is no new ETA. We’ve reached out to Verizon for confirmation.
UPDATE: Changed from a Whisper to a post as we added an image confirming this.

It's anyone's guess whether we'll see this mythical Supersonic from HTC show up at CTIA next week (wouldn't that be awesome?), but a phone identified as the HTC A9292 has recently made an appearance in yet another internal system which can't be a bad sign. As a refresher, the A9292 is popularly believed to be the Supersonic, a 4.3-inch Android-powered beast for Sprint that could become one of the carrier's very first WiMAX-enabled phones. This time around, the phone's turned up in a warehouse portal used by indirect third-party dealers, which would seem like a sign that they're getting ready to distribute these bad boys; hopefully we'll know all in just a few days' time out in Vegas. Stay tuned.

Leon Lai plays a sloppy looking full of action detective in the movie, his ruthlessness caused him to be suspended from his job. Michelle Ye transformed from her gentle image in the past into an action actress, playing a loyal to love police officer who stays with Leon Lai, supporting and assisting him to solve several major cases, the two works together facing all challenges, while senior police officer Richie Ren acts in strategy plotting and firing battles.

Actress Aoi Yu will lend her voice for a new character in the movie Nodame Cantabile Saishu Gakusho ~ Kouhen. The movie will be release in Japan on the 17th next month. Her character is named Jadwi and is Hungarian. As the movie progresses, Nodame will quit playing the piano. Jadwi's character becomes crucial to the storyline as she is the one who makes Nodame realize the importance of music. Actress Ueno Juri said: "Jadwi's character is really bright and is very similar to Aoi." When the production team was looking for a candidate to take on the voice role, they didn't have to think twice about approaching Aoi. This will be the third time the two actresses have worked together.
As well, new photos from the movie were released earlier. Aside from ones showing Nodame with Franz Stresemann (played by Takenaka Naoto) performing in London, there are ones of Nodame with Chiaki sitting together cozily in a kotatsu.

Young & In Love, Miley Cyrus is filming the final season of Hannah Montana — the Disney Channel series that shot her to teen superstardom — and the sometimes controversial starlet couldn’t be happier that the end of the show means she’ll no longer have to get dressed up in frilly pink outfits and a blonde wig.
“I’m going to rejoice and be happy to finally not have to be…well, to not be somebody I’m not exactly,” Miley reveals in Parade Magazine’s March 21 issue. “As I’ve grown into it, I’ve grown out of it. Does that make sense? When I was 12, I thought, ‘I want to be famous all the time! I want everybody to recognize me!’”

According to Opera Software, downloads of its latest desktop browser (10.5) have increased in number significantly after Microsoft started offering Windows users in Europe a choice in browser with a so-called ballot screen.
The Norwegian software maker says that on average, more than half of the European downloads of Opera’s latest browser come directly from that Choice Screen.

SNSD’s gotten everyone talking with their new Run Devil Run music video release, but it’s not just the dramatic concept switch that’s grabbing the attention of many – kpop fans have also noticed that SNSD’s ‘catch me if you can’ dance is evolving into their new hit track’s trademark move, very much like fellow gal group Kara with their emergency exit dance for Lupin.
Of course, both moves are unique in their own rights in the same way both groups have dark concepts with distinct differences – Kara’s move is obviously extremely similar to the iconic emergency exit symbol we see everywhere, whereas SNSD’s move seems like something you might see in a Bollywood dance.

We’ll be brief: we never had any issues with the screens on the first two Nexus One devices we received (T-Mobile). Well, both displays behaved the same way, and any shortcomings weren’t due to a manufacturing or color temperature problem, put it like that. When our AT&T unit showed up, everything was fine. We thought. Though when we started to use the device at night out and about the city, the black levels seemed to be really, really sub-par. It’s like the hue is completely purple/red. We’ve confirmed that this is happening to more than just our device, and we’ve reached out to Google and will update this with their response. Hit the gallery for some more comparison shots!
