The new smart phone to be released by Finnish giant Nokia Corp, the E7, will be delayed until after the holiday season.

Google still reigns supreme, but the recent rebranding of MSN Live Search and changes to the Yahoo search platform, optimization specialists must now consider which of the search engines to primarily focus on. While there is some indication from tracking firms that Bing is beating Yahoo in search, perhaps what optimization specialist and online business owners should be focusing on is a joining of forces between Bing and Yahoo.
