Sometime in the next few months, Nokia will be launching the "Comes With Music" program - basically, a promotion that gets you free music for a year from certain music labels, all with the purchase of a Nokia device.
It's tough to be #1. Nokia reported its earnings for the first quarter today, and the end result wasn't pretty.
The results of Engadget's 2007 Reader's Choice/Editor's Choice awards are in, and the undisputed winner is Apple, with 12 awards. The iPhone alone took home Gadget of the Year, Smartphone of the Year, and Most Anticipated Gadget of 2008 awards from both readers and editors.

Gizmodo just published an open letter from Numair Faraz, the "personal assistant" to the former Chief Marketing Officer at Motorola - aimed at current CEO Greg Brown. And, wow, this guy manages to lambast Brown, Ed Zander, and all the "incompetent senior executives" working for the #3 phone maker.
A small company (to the tune of 275 employees) called InterDigital announced today that it is currently in talks with Nokia over licensing several patents related to 3G technology. Normally, this wouldn't really be news except for the fact that last year, InterDigital got mean 'n nasty and tried to get the International Trade Commission to ban imports of the infringing Nokia phones.
A couple of days ago, Texas Instruments warned investors that one of its customers was cutting back on its orders. While there was some speculation as to whether cell phone sales were starting to slump, most agreed that Nokia was probably just shifting orders to several new chip suppliers.
