Last week continued the excitement with Yahoo as it worked to get Microsoft to increase its offer by trying out alternatives but not really finding any good ones. At the huge phone conference in Spain — where Apple wasn’t — companies from Microsoft to Google announced acquisitions and plans that seem to focus on taking on the iPhone. Finally, we are now within weeks of the first hybrid laptop and desktop PCs, and it is time to chat about those. We’ll talk about that and close with my product of the week, which is possibly the next eBay, a site called “iRent2U.”
