Background
Terry Fox was 18 years old when he was diagnosed with bone cancer. His right leg was amputated above the knee. Whilst in hospital, Terry was so moved by the suffering of cancer patients, particularly children, that he resolved to run across Canada (a distance of 8,500 kilometers) to raise money for cancer research. He called his journey the “Marathon of Hope”.
Terry Fox, an amputee, ran a marathon (42 kilometers) a day for 143 consecutive days - a total distance of 5,373 kilometers. At that stage, Terry was forced to abandon his run as the cancer spread to his lungs. Terry Fox died at the tender age of 21. Before he died, he knew that a fund-raising event would be held each year, with the same objectives as the Marathon of Hope - to help find a cure for cancer.
Since 1981, the Terry Fox Run has raised more than RM1.3 billion in aid of cancer research around the world.

TouchFlo Dual •
I didn't know it was so close till the release a younger brother for HTC Touch. The new addition to the family is call HTC Touch Dual. The "dual" i believe is referring to the slide keypad or the traditional phone pad. The option given is either u go for the traditional 10-key keypad or the Qwerty model.
It's got the same front face as the HTC Touch, but is slightly thinner.It also comes with a 2-megapixel camera, 3G (HSDPA and GPRS/EDGE), the TouchFlo interface, and all the standard Windows Mobile 6 functions you love from other phones.
It's only available in europe now. Check out the video demomanstration.
getting closer with iphone huh? I m still not sure about the local pricing. but a PDA with 3G capability can easily goes up to RM2.8K. if they can trim the price, i believe it will be selling like hot cakes.
