Some weeks we get a little bit of big news. Other weeks we get a lot of little news. This is one of the latter. We did see some Storm 2 pictures stay on the Internet for more than a few hours, a sign that it’s probably coming soon. Not that we didn’t already know that. It’s just nice to have assurances.

Highlights include:

The Storm 2 is the future, and the way a current issue is going, the Tour might be the past. There appears to be a widespread trackball issue with the device, causing people to exchange the device left and right. What is Verizon going to do about it? I’ve heard they’re not exchanging the devices any more. That’s a shame. Sorry to anyone who’s stuck with a faulty trackball.

There are other tidbits too, like OS 5.0 coming out some time this year — we hope. RIM said so. Can we take their word for it?

Oh yeah, and the U2 mobile album. That seems to be a big deal. I don’t care for the band, but the concept is solid. Mobile is an excellent platform on which to distribute supplemental material with an album.
