In Brief
Macho cell phones, and Firefox beta 2.0.Product Pipeline
Macho cell phone: Sprint Nextel and Motorola released the i580, a walkie-talkie cell phone with a rubberized exterior that meets military spec 810F for rain, dust, shock, vibration resistance, and more. Features include a 1.3-megapixel digital camera, and the i580 supports GPS-based services such as TeleNav, MapQuest FindMe, and Trimble Outdoors. This clamshell-style phone, which costs about $280 after rebates and discounts are factored in, comes with a removable 64MB SD Card, Bluetooth support, and a color display.
Firefox Beta 2.0: Mozilla Corporation has introduced a beta version 2.0 of its free Firefox Web browser, adding functionality and security. A spelling checker integrated in the browser alerts you to typos when you input text into Web forms and blogs. Another feature lets you recover a tab window after you accidentally shut it. The beta candidate includes a filter that blocks phishing sites.
