Nokia has revealed its new flagship smartphone, the N97.
Despite sporting a slide out touchscreen and a QWERTY keyboard, it
doesn't look like it will be replacing iPhones or Blackberries
anytime soon.

Clearwire and Sprint-Nextel have sealed a deal to create a new
company that will develop a new nationwide wireless network. The
company is also working on 4G wireless technology that can reach
speeds up to five times faster than current 3G networks.

YouTube is hosting a contest that could give aspriring classical
musicians the chance to perform at Carengie Hall. They are also
asking people to submit videos of a particular section of a new
symphony by famed composer Tan Dun, which will then be judged and
edited together into one massive virtual orchestra.

MicroMatic's new V-Pod beer dispenser comes with a built-in LCD
screen. The only thing keeping it from being the ultimate America
invention is a gun mount, a flag holder and a mini bbq
spit.

Blog giant Six Apart has acquired microblogging site Pownce,
hired the site's co-founder and co-engineer and shut the site
down. It seems that receiving the New York Times' endorsement
wasn't enough to keep it afloat.

Blockbuster and Microsoft have partnered to create online video
services built on Microsoft's Live Mesh technology. Last week,
Blockbuster revealed its new streaming video player. Both moves
suggest the company is seriously eying Netflix's crown.

Google has added support for Apple's calendar service, iCal. It's
super simple to setup, and it's free. Who loves you like Google?
