iTunes 10 hands-on: snappier performance, questionable UI choices: I haven't really noticed a lot of performance gain yet, but some of the UI choices are clearly strange (changing the close/minimize/zoom buttons? Ug.). But all-in-all, iTunes 10 hasn't really caused any disruption, so I can't really complain.

Engaget's Samsung Fascinate review:

"The phone does not use Google as its default search. And it doesn't utilize Yahoo! either. No, the Fascinate search engine defaults to Bing. Bing is used for the homescreen widget. It is defaulted to in the browser. It is present across the device... and there's no way to choose a different search engine. Like, you know -- Google. When we pressed Verizon reps about this, they let us know in no uncertain terms that the stock engine is Bing without a second choice."

Google is really demonstrating that when it comes to smartphones, open is totally the way to go.
