Talkin’ Windows Phone 7 Series gaming with Microsoft at GDC
We already got a look at Microsoft’s little XNA show-and-tell as relates to Windows Phone 7 Series, but our colleague Andrew Yoon over at Joystiq had a chance for longer sit-down with Xbox Live general manager Ron Pessner and XNA Game Studio manager Michael Klucher at GDC today, and he’s been kind enough to share the interview with us.

HTML5 vs. Flash comparison finds a few surprises, settles few debates
Think we’d all be better off if HTML5 could somehow instantly replace Flash overnight?

AT&T’s LG eXpo pico projects itself right out of stock, production problems to blame?
As Windows Mobile 6.5-based handsets go, LG’s eXpo unquestionably stands near the top of the pile thanks to its WVGA display, 1GHz Snapdragon core, and optional pico projector hump for the rear — but there’s a problem: it’s really, really hard to find.
