MSNBC: Microsoft invades the airwaves. Stinger will be 30 percent smaller than an average phone in Europe or the United States; will weigh less than 100 grams; have a color or gray-scale display (up to 208 by 240 pixels); and provide up to 100 hours of standby time with the screen and personal information management functions running...

Yeah, whatever. The thing that amazes me is that the screen shots of the display on this thing look like they were plucked directly from Mac OSX. I'm really getting tired of bashing MS here. It's not what I want to do at all. But this kind of thing is pretty hard to ignore.

Seriously? I hope they did this tongue-in-cheek. Hard to imagine a US Customs employee doing anything with a sense of humour.
