6:00 PM -- It's the old story. You wait years for a WiFi-enabled phone and then two or three come along at once.

Latest out of the gate is BlackBerry 's first dualmode BlackBerry, which has just been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) . RIM has promised that the long-awaited phone will be out by the end of the year although some analysts and industry watchers expect it before that.

Mobile Editor

Dan is to hats what Will.I.Am is to ridiculous eyewear. Fedora, trilby, tam-o-shanter -- all have graced the Jones pate during his career as the go-to purveyor of mobile essentials.

But hey, Dan is so much more than 4G maps and state-of-the-art headgear. Before joining the Light Reading team in 2002 he was an award-winning cult hit on Broadway (with four 'Toni' awards, two 'Emma' gongs and a 'Brian' to his name) with his one-man show, "Dan Sings the Show Tunes."

His perfectly crafted blogs, falling under the "Jonestown" banner, have been compared to the works of Chekhov. But only by Dan.

He lives in Brooklyn with cats.
