 I purchased a Krusell Classic Case for my T-Mobile Dash (pictured). The case runs about $20 - $30 on the web and boasts a skin tight fit. After having the case for a day, it does have a skin tight fit, but there are some issues that could be improved.

The other holes on the case align perfectly (mic, buttons, camera), s ...

 I started a new job this week as Microsoft Practice Lead for a large international consultancy, one of the great things about starting a new job is the new gadgets that go along with it. My new gadget is my phone, I used to be a Samsung i730 by Verizon, but it was getting old, and I hacked the heck out of it, so it was nice to get a new phone.

The Dash works much better than my i730 did, I thought I would miss going from a touch screen over to the SmartPhone format, but this phone made the switch pretty smooth. It is very easy to naviga ...

I am a Redmond Fanboy, usually anything out of Redmond or in partnership with Redmond, I usually jump and buy one. But DRM whether it's from Microsoft or someone else, usually results in a groan of extreme pain.
Microsoft announced a new DRM called PlayReady that is aimed at mobile media. PlayReady is designed for subscription base content, rentals, pay-per-view, and other sorts of media and is backwards compatible with Windows DRM 10 so you can use your existing content.
PlayReady is expected to be out sometime during the first half of this year.
