David Pogue reviews, and likes, the $200 BlackBerry Pearl mobile phone. Too bad it’s only on T-Mobile.

Best new-feature-by-new-feature rundown of the day.

Major update to Bare Bones’s flagship text editor; $30 upgrade from version 8.0, $40 from older versions, and $125 for a new license. (Education pricing: $25 upgrade, $50 new license.)

New features include code folding (actually, text folding in general — you can manually fold text in any selection range; the “code” folding feature is that fold points are auto-generated for programming and markup languages), a revised UI for clippings (formerly known as glossary items), indented soft-wrapping, and, for us regular expression nerds, BBEdit’s regex engine has been updated to PCRE 5.0, which includes support for Python-style named sub-expressions.

Oh, and a new icon.
