* Ginny has been putting Motorola's Droid phone through its paces, and she's ready to tell you whether the new Verizon smartphone lives up to its anti-iPhone smack talk. Is this the best Android phone yet? And how does it compare to the iPhone? Find out now.

* Tom Spring's red-hot story about sneaky fees is lighting up our traffic reports, and with good reason. It seems everyone's a victim to mystery charges on their wireless service, cable, and online banking bills. Is there a method to the madness? Mark Sullivan talks about some of these dubious charges and what you can do to fight them.

* If you've noticed your GPS device shaking in fear, that's probably because Google just announced a free GPS service of its own. Right now, Google Maps Navigation only runs on the new Motorola Droid phone, but it looks promising enough to infiltrate other platforms.
