Palm.com quietly replaced by HPwebOS.com, no wake to follow
It goes without saying that funerals are a downer, but we all deserve a proper sendoff, — unfortunately for Palm.com, there will be no tearful goodbyes. We reported just a few months ago that Palm was on its way out, and now HP’s unceremoniously given the brand’s URL the boot. You can still find the Palm logo at a number of related URLs scattered about the internets — the brand’s support page, twitter account, and official blog are still up and running — but try typing Palm.com in your address bar, and you’ll be swiftly redirected to HPwebOS.com. And here we thought our aunt Pearl moved on quickly.

3,000 tainted microSD cards to be replaced by Vodafone Spain
Last week Vodafone Spain announced it had determined the microSD card to be the cause of some crazy activity on their HTC Magic. When this had first surfaced, Vodafone Spain said that it was an isolated incident and only affected the one device in the UK. (And we might have even scoffed a bit at Panda Security possibly crying wolf.)
But over a rather short period of time we have seen that number jump from 1 card to 3,000 cards now. While they have admitted that they are replacing these due to infection, and not just as a precaution, other details around this have been kept rather secret. Is it really just 3,000 cards, or will we be posting an update next week that it has grown to over 10,000? [Engadet via Movil Zona]
