   I am using previous/next_post_link but I would like state "Previously in (current category name)" right now i have %title in its place.
   Is there an easy way to automatically pull the category name into the link

   <div class="alignleft"><?php previous_post_link('&laquo; %link', 'Previously in %title', TRUE, '102'); ?></div>
   <div class="alignright"><?php next_post_link('%link &raquo;', 'Next in %title', TRUE, '102'); ?></div>

   Thanks!

   I too would like to do this. I have an online store, and it'd be great if I could get it to say "next store item" or "next news item" etc..

   has this been resolved? Currently using title as above.

   You guys are looking for something like this.

   <div class="alignleft"><?php
   			$category = get_the_category();
   			$cat_name = $category[0]->cat_name;
   			previous_post_link('&laquo; %link', 'Previously in '.$cat_name, TRUE, '102'); ?></div>
   <div class="alignright"><?php next_post_link('%link &raquo;','Next in '.$cat_name,TRUE, '102') ?></div>
