• Engadget rides the Honda U3-X Personal Mobility Device!: Once again, Wall-E shows us the way. I, for one, can't wait for the day when walking is a bitter, painful memory from the past.

• Sorry your iPod nano got so scratched five years ago, here's your $37.50: My check came this week. :)

• Interesting facts you may not know about Nintendo: I love the comparison of franchises — maybe Halo isn't that big after all, huh? Also, notice how the Wii really saved the company — each successive console sold less and less units, the trend only being reversed by the Wii.

• Android Market app count surges 68% in March: I can explain this — Google has been aggressively courting developers, spreading free phones around, and holding events at their Mountain View campus. They are pushing very hard on Android right now.
