Mark Hattersley: Is it time for the MacBook mini?
I recently returned from the sausage-eating and tech slavering extravaganza that is the IFA Show in Berlin, and the lasting impression I got was the almost omnipotent presence of the small laptop.
Macworld Team: Why China Mobile isn't right for Apple and the iPhone
By Steven Schwankert
Apple's discussions with China Mobile about bringing the popular handset to the world's largest mobile market is the stuff of tech journalists' dreams. The potential deal would join together the world's largest mobile service provider with the planet's most talked-about phone.

I’ll be blogging from the show floor on Friday so hopefully will have lots of new products to tell you about.

Andy Ihnatko: How Apple could make e-books work
Since the iPhone App Store opened, a non-negotiable part of my day is devoted to safely guiding cartoon animals around a go-kart track. And I’ve yet to encounter someone who finds PhoneSaber as funny as I do, but every new person I meet is a new opportunity to prove every last friend and family member wrong.

By Dan Moren, Macworld.com
Complaints about the iPhone 3G's networking speeds - or, more appropriately, lack thereof - have been floating around ever since the phone's release last month. We even did a little testing of our own and established that the results varied widely depending on geopgrahic location.
