So, Motorola released the PEBL in four new colors today. Am I supposed to be excited now? I am not saying there isn’t a place for choice in color, but I would much prefer Motorola actually announce something new.

The PEBL and SLVR have been the only significant releases from Motorola for quite a while now, and I am really bored of them. I’m hoping that we might see the SCPL (I really hate this naming convention, by the way) at CTIA in Las Vegas next month; otherwise Motorola might have some problems keeping up with the competition, specification-wise.

I can’t say that they will be threatened in their position in the market though, as that damn RAZR seems to be keeping them in the game – for now.

Sandisk has today busted out the first 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo card into its Ultra II range. The 4GB Ultra II is designed for photographers mainly, with 9MB per second minimum write and 10MB per second minimum read rates.

The card will be in shops during March, and retail for US$293.99.

There has been so much talk and anticipation over a ruling on the RIM/NTP patent infringement case, and what has it amounted to so far? U.S. District Judge James Spencer deciding against issuing an immediate ruling and instead saying he would take the matter under advisement, and release an order on the damages before the injunction.

I think that this case might just be one of the biggest anti-climaxes in recent history. Not only has RIM announced and demonstrated a work-around for its Blackberry service that does not infringe on RIM’s (invalid) patients, even the courts are just stuffing around thinking about it. If we do ever get a ruling, I think it will most likely be in RIM’s favor anyway.

So everyone calm down, and let the preceding take their course – it will all be good in the end anyway.

I am being hit with a whole heap of trackback spam today. I think I have cleaned most of it out though, blacklisting some domains along the way. Good thing b2evolution (the CMS package I use for this site) has really great Antispam tools. I would recomend this package to anyone looking to start a blog.

On a related note, the backend of the site is going to be updated in the next few days. There shouldn’t be much downtime, if any, but if there is you now know why.

After all the talk about A-List linking and site readership, I got a little curious about who is actually reading this, and as B2Evolution’s feed statistics are not the best in the world, I have decided to move the feed on to FeedBurner. If anyone is currently subscribed to the old feed, I would really appreciate it if you changed the URL to http://feeds.feedburner.com/Pantsland, or use the updated buttons in the sidebar.

Any opinions on this change? Please post in the comments, I would love to hear from you.
