While I’m as excited as the next gadget freak by all the talk of the new Apple iPhone, the mythical Google phone, and Palm’s next SmartPhone-move, the new HTC S730 (aka the HTC Wings) could actually be my next phone. I have the Cingular 2125 right now and the clincher for me is that the HTC Wings is about the same size and weight as my 2125 and it has a slideout keyboard.

Cingular 2125 size/weight: 116mm x 46mm x 18mm, 106 grams
HTC Wings size/weight: 100mm x 50mm x 19mm, 120 grams

For some reason, I don’t know of too many SmartPhones in this size/weight category. Don’t other people want something small that easily slips into the pocket without taking up too much space and can be held and operated with one hand? More info on the HTC S730 (aka HTC Wings) at PDA db.

I’ll be at SXSW interactive this week/weekend — if you’ll be there, drop me a line (contact information in the right margin).

After this past Wednesday’s episode of Lost, I had been thinking about writing something about how I thought Lost had ‘jumped the shark’ (thinking about writing a blog post is something that us newbie bloggers do a lot). But it turns out I don’t need to write anything because Dave Zatz has it covered. After the great television that Lost created in its first season, I’m sad to say that things have officially taken a turn for the worse and they’ve lost me as a fan.
