Much of this year’s iPod news was a snore: a curvier iPod touch, a new one-capacity iPod Classic, the umpteenth iPod shuffle color jumble. Yawn. But the fourth and final updated iPod, the new 4th Generation (4G) iPod nano, caught our eye. It’s small. It’s light. It’s sexy. And, with the 4G iPod nano, Apple has righted itself after a design misstep.

I’ve been using the new Palm Treo 800w for a few days, and I wanted to share my impressions of the device before I post my full review sometime next week.

The Treo 800w is fast – its TI CPU (to my surprise), makes quick work of applications and files, the EVDO connection is more than adequate for most web tasks (particularly on Opera Mobile 9.5), and file transfers are zippy over USB 2.0 or Wi-Fi.  Next, the screen.  The Treo 800w has a square display with an unusual but beautiful 320×320 resolution.  This display offers some compatibility issues with third-party Windows Mobile software, but it looks great.  Lastly, there’s Treo thumb QWERTY keyboard, which is one of the best out there.

After my last ho-hum experience with the WinMo Treo, the Treo 750, I’m very impressed by the 800w.  The 800w isn’t for everyone, but if you’re a Treo fan and a Sprint customer, I recommend you swing by your local store and have a look.  More next week.

Though we all got a sneak peak late last night, this morning Opera officially released its new Opera Mobile 9.5 mobile Web browser right on schedule (after a slight, but publicized delay).  Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta 1 is now available for download but is, for the moment, compatible only with touchscreen devices running Windows Mobile 5/6. 

Though a bit buggy (it is a beta, after all), Opera Mobile 9.5 has a lot to offer, and since it’s free, head over to the Opera web site and give it a try.  Want to know more?  Read our Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta 1 Review.

"The Duo’s dual-slider design makes for, quite possibly, the best non-touchscreen Windows Mobile Smartphone configuration thus far, but its lackluster features and slow performance make it a device that I can recommend only to those needing the most basic Windows Mobile phone."

The Motorola Q 9h Global surpasses its predecessor in almost every respect. While it is a bit thicker and heavier than the original Q, it more than makes up for this with solid performance, good battery life, a wide range of features and truly excellent call quality.
