Pogue’s video tells us how to read our email on Dumb Phones. (You like that?

NYT Pulp Watch: Pogue Spanks Sansa’s Connect for Lame Yahoo! Connection

David Pogue of the NY Times saw so much potential in the Sansa Connect, the Wi-Fi music player that can tap into Yahoo’s big online database without a PC in sight. But it disappointed him.

Sony’s $20 Million Dollar Ad Campaign Dupes Pogue’s One Day Video

The NYTimes writes that Sony spent $20 million at the BBDO advertising agency, so they could make some lighthearted gadget ads.
