Fuchsia - Handed

A couple of days ago, T-Mobile announced the release of their new PDA phone, Wing. Developed by the folks over at High Tech Computer Corp. (HTC), Wing is the first phone to employ Microsoft’s new mobile operating platform, Windows Mobile 6. As far as phones go, it quite possibly could be the crème de la crème (at least until Apple’s iPhone is released, or as they say in the computer business, “just wait another 3 months.”)

Unfortunately for the telecommunications giant, it seems to be the only "positive" coming out of Germany these days, as news of widespread performance enhancing drug use during the 1990’s predominates.

Even one of their former stalwarts, Eric “Say It Ain’t So” Zabel (now with Milram; left, photo: AP), admitted using erythropoietin (EPO). What’s next, Jan Ullrich admitting he was a bit lax in his off-season training regiment? Oh, right?!

But such is the ludicrous nature of professional cycling these days.

With the current defection of major corporate sponsors due to the tarnished image of cycling, it wouldn't be surprising to see T-Mobile follow suit. And quite possibly, it could be before their cycling sponsorship was due to end in 2010.

Regardless, T-Mobile’s been caught red, make that fuchsia – handed!
