Peek's kinda-sorta email-only handheld is one of the more polarizing devices to hit this year. On one hand, anyone who cares that much about email in their pocket probably already owns an email-capable handset; on the other, those satisfied with their pay-as-you-go phone may seriously be interested in adding this to their arsenal. Regardless of your take on things, we figured you should know that it's available for "today only" at $49.95, clearly setting the ...

Trutap, the mobile messaging community service, has put all 30 of their London Kings Cross team on notice. The company has had to make severe cut backs to reduce it’s monthly burn in order to keep it’s service live. This is confirmed by a high level Trutap executive I know well. And it’s a bit of a shame. The company has been innovating like no tomorrow — and the newly released version 2.0 if Trutap ...

[UPDATED: I added a stronger first sentence to leave no doubt about there is no Microsoft-Yahoo deal at the present time and to be clear I am not backing off on my weekend post on the topic.] Let me be crystal clear: Yahoo and Microsoft are not currently secretly at work on a pricey new search partnership and a piece this weekend in the Times of London that said they were is inaccurate. It’s natural ...

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Retail, Rumors, Apple I'm not exactly sure why there's so much excitement centered around the upcoming Greensboro Apple Store (my guess is it's because our friend Ged of the Iconfactory can't wait for it to open), but the excitement is there, and Ed Cone has some insight into how the store's deal got put together. Apparently Greensboro won't see the story by December 25th, as there's apparently some argument with ...

With Black Friday a thing of the past and the holiday season rapidly approaching, you want to hook up everyone you know with something nice. Amazon's trying to make that a bit easier on the wallet by offering up refurbished Kindles for $329 straight up -- a first for the funky little ebook reader. While it's not as much of a price reduction as we would have liked, it is a start, but with new ...

A report in the Times of London in which Microsoft would buy Yahoo’s search business in a convoluted $20 billion deal that would include well-known Internet execs Jon Miller and Ross Levinsohn, is–in the words of one key player–”total fiction.”Actually, that’s Levinsohn speaking, on the record. But that’s also the essential word from all key players regarding the Times’ report. BoomTown has spoken to top sources at Yahoo (YHOO) and Microsoft (MSFT) too and all ...

Colour me stupid, but doesn’t having a secret sale defeat the purpose of having a sale? I mean you don’t go into a store that has a sale on, and find the staff whispering about the discounts, probably what drew you into the store, was the startlingly blaring promotional posters out the front, if they haven’t also included a spruiker[a verbal promoter] as well.

Last week, Bloomberg reported that Yahoo and AOL were still chit-chatting about a possible deal–non-news, actually, given the pair have never stopped talking. Nonetheless, it set off yet another flurry of excitement on Wall Street that a deal to merge the two troubled Internet companies was imminent. But you might have a quicker time watching grass grow, according to numerous sources BoomTown has talked to over the last week about exactly where the AOL-Yahoo deal ...

There are two schools of thought about Twitter’s decision not to sell itself to Facebook, as it did not in the fail-whale of a deal that BoomTown reported on yesterday. Here’s my favorite quote from an Internet exec who thought the microblogging service’s decision to turn down $500 million in stock (and some cash) in the hot social-networking site was–how can I put this delicately?–stupid: “If Twitter turned down 500m in stock, they should go ...

Here’s the video of Web 2.0 Summit host John Battelle interviewing Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg a few weeks ago, in which Battelle floated a rumor that the social networking site might be interested in buying Twitter. If you want to see the exchange, it starts at 22:15 minutes, when Battelle asks: “Is Twitter just a feature of Facebook?” Awkwardness ensues from there until 23:07 minutes, with no direct question about an actual acquisition effort asked. ...
