HTML5 & CSS3 Checklist
Handy little compatibility chart.
iPad User Experience Guidelines | UX Magazine
My favorite: "Rethink Your Lists" – Consider a more real-world vision of your application. For example, on iPhone, Contacts is a streamlined list, but on iPad, Contacts is an address book with a beautifully tangible look and feel.

Meet The HTC Evo, The World’s First 4G Android Smartphone
I smell an iPhone killer. Unless Apple (and ATT) step up their game, this is going to pose a threat. 4G wireless, plus the ability to use it as a MiFi wireless hotspot. Lots of speed and storage… beauteous.

Participants were asked to rate 40 typefaces (from serif, sans serif, display, and handwriting classes) using semantic differential scales. Responses are shown by typeface class and individual typeface using scaled scores. These results are helpful to practitioners when deciding which typeface to use for online text.”
