If the terrorists could vote, they’d vote for Candidate X— this argument is America’s greatest rhetorical treasure. So let’s apply it to smartphones, right now! I’ve got a picture of a high-level terrorist with an iPhone and everything! Updated The man pictured here is the recently captured Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, Mullah Abdul Salaam Zaeef , who is world famous for precisely the kind of stuff that you don’t want to be famous for.

Microsoft Courier’s Devolution [Microsoft]

These fresh images and details of Microsoft’s Courier paint a slightly different device than the one uncovered a few months ago —tinier, perhaps less genre-busting, and a more direct iPad fighter. This take is built on the same mobile OS core as Windows Phone 7 and Zune HD, powered by Nvidia’s Tegra 2 hardware . It’s supposedly thinner than an inch, under a pound, and about the size of a 5×7 photo when closed

Nokia Admits That The N97 Sucked, Working to Improve Their Phones [Nokia]

So the Nokia N97 was a bit of a disaster . Normally, companies pretend that all of their products are great, even when they aren’t. But one Nokia VP is willing to admit that the N97 was a steamer. Nokia’s VP of Markets Anssi Vanjoki recently said in an interview that the N97 was a “tremendous disappointment in terms of the experience quality for the consumers and something [they] did not anticipate.” How refreshingly candid! Of course, he’s using such candidness as an excuse to claim that they’ve learned their lesson and are working to make the N97 a real contender via firmware updates

Adobe spends considerable money trying to make us believe that Flash is an indispensable part of the Web. But like a friend said on Twitter, this Nexus demo video shows why Flash is not worth it in any mobile device. He is right. It’s not only the battery consumption , but the incessant zooming and scrolling, and the loading times.

It’s a time commitment, no doubt. But if you REALLY want to know more about Windows Phone 7 , MSDN posted a 22-minute tour with Joe Belfiore (VP of Windows Phone Program Management) explaining each of the features. If this is a bit too much, you can get a good feel of WP7 in motion here , too
