BlackBerry
Avatar of New Born Berries !!!
BlackBerry Bold (previously known as Bold Touch) 9900/9930 (UMTS/CDMA), the BlackBerry Torch 9810 and Torch 9860/9850 (UMTS/CDMA), which was previously rumored by the names of BB Touch and Monza. All the devices are powered by single-core 1.2GHz processors with 768MB RAM and all have NFC support.
The BlackBerry Bold (also known as Bold Touch) is the thinnest BlackBerry device so far at 10.5mm. It runs the BlackBerry OS 7, and utilizes a 1.2GHz CPU, 8 gigs of expandable memory and a 2.8" VGA (640x480) 287 dpi (close to the Retina's 326 dots per inch) capacitive touchscreen. It has a 5 MP autofocus camera with 720p video recording. In terms of looks, it takes after the previous line of Bold devices with no significant changes to the exterior. It's made out of high-quality brushed stainless steel
The BlackBerry Torch 9810 is a touchscreen device with a slide-down QWERTY keyboard. It has 253 dpi screen, 1.2GHz processor, NFC chip and will be powered by the BlackBerry OS 7. The Torch 9860 will be 11.5mm thick with a 15:9 aspect ratio screen, which is 3.69" with a WSVGA (800x480) resolution with 253 dpi. It also has 5 MP camera with autofocus and 720p video recording. Prior to this official announcement, the Torch 9860 was know by its codename, Monza.
RIM vows improved performance with new BlackBerry 7:
Research In Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) unveiled its new BlackBerry 7 operating system at its annual BlackBerry World conference, promising improved performance and built-in support for Near Field Communications technology. Arriving this summer in conjunction with the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930 smartphones, BlackBerry 7 powers the new Liquid Graphics touchscreen, which touts faster, smoother performance for touch-based navigation, web browsing, pictures, video and graphics-intensive gaming--according to RIM, Liquid Graphics offers up to 60 frames-per-second performance with instant UI action/response. In addition to Liquid Graphics performance gains, the new BlackBerry 7 browser includes a new JIT (just in time) JavaScript compiler to improve webpage load time speeds alongside support for additional HTML5 elements.
BlackBerry 7 also introduces support for NFC technologies, enabling consumers to access information by tapping their device to a smart tag--presumably, RIM will eventually extend the platform's NFC capabilities to include contactless payments. Also new: Voice-activated search and BlackBerry Balance, which separates personal content from corporate content on the smartphone, enabling users to share social networking information, play games and explore other consumer apps while still adhering to enterprise demands for data management and security.
RIM's seven new BlackBerry phones:
BlackBerry maker RIM said that it would release seven new smartphones running its "next-generation" BlackBerry 7 OS, according to The Guardian. If you believe Boy Genius Report (which has a solid track record on RIM information), those include the Bold 9900/9930, a combination touchscreen/keyboard phone introduced in May; the Torch 9810, a sliding-keyboard phone like the existing Torch; the Curve 9350/9360, and the Torch 9850/9860, which are full-touchscreen phones like the old BlackBerry Storm.
But BlackBerry 7 isn't a solution to RIM's problems, it isn't "next generation," and these phones aren't new. BlackBerry 7 is an incremental update to the existing RIM phone experience, these phones have been in carrier approval channels for months, and they look and work a lot like existing BlackBerries. Once again, RIM's management isn't giving its customers what they need.
RIM scraps BlackBerry App World developer ID notarization rule:
In the wake of a much-discussed developer rant against the logistical difficulties of creating software for Research In Motion's (NASDAQ:RIMM) BlackBerry platform, RIM has responded with a significant change in its BlackBerry App World developer agreement, abandoning the requirement that partners submit a notarized proof of identification to distribute their applications through the storefront. "We learned that this has become a pain point for some developers, so we have been working behind the scenes to remove this barrier," BlackBerry Developer Relations and Developer Program head Tyler Lessard writes on the Inside BlackBerry Developer's Blog. "You still have to submit proof of identity, but now that can be as simple as faxing or emailing a copy of your driver's license."
Google unveils official URL shortcut for Google webpages - g.co
Google had created a website called “goo.gl” last year, opening its public URL shortening tool for everyone. It ensured that the users were no more dependent on Google Toolbar or Feedburner to use the tool. And now Google has come up with its own URL shortcut called “g.co” that will only link to official Google products and services.
Google says on its blog that the 'g.co' link ensures it will only direct to web pages that are owned by Google and that only Google is authorised to create those g.co shortcuts. “That means you can visit a g.co shortcut confident you will always end up at a page for a Google product or service.
Google also clears air on future of the existing goo.gl. It says, “There’s no need to fret about the fate of goo.gl; we like it as much as you do, and nothing is changing on that front. It will continue to be our public URL shortener that anybody can use to shorten URLs across the web.”

Google rolls out Swiffy Flash-to-HTML5 conversion tool
A new tool from Google Labs called Swiffy is taking aim at Flash files on the Web by converting them to HTML5 for use on devices without Flash capabilities.
Flash authors who come to Google with their SWF files can run it through the Swiffy converter, which splits it into a JSON file, then renders it with HTML, Scalable Vector Graphics, and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). As a result of the process, Google says the converted files have rendering performance that's "quite good," with a file size that's "slightly larger" than the original.
Google's tool joins Wallaby, a similar effort from Adobe, which debuted earlier this year. It turns FLA-formatted files into HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. That tool was initially designed as a way for developers to develop and port ads for iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches, and any other devices without Flash capabilities.

Most awaited Google+ project:
Sharing is a huge part of the web, a part that we think could be a lot simpler. That’s why we’ve been working on adding a few new things to Google: to make connecting with people on the web more like connecting with them in the real world. We hope you like what we’ve cooked up so far. And stay tuned, because there’s more to come.

Nokia
Alien Dalvik will let you run Android apps on the Nokia N9
Alien Dalvik, a software that lets you run unmodified Android application on non-Android devices. All the developers have to do is repackage the .apk files and the applications can be used on other devices running Alien Dalvik. The application is able to utilize the full potential of the hardware and the user experience is virtually identical to that of using it on regular Android device. The software emulates the hardware controls on Android devices so the application can be controlled on non-Android devices.

Battle Begins Nokia/MeeGo marriage !!!
N9 has received plenty of praise during its pre-release life from reviewers and industry types to boot. Even we have had the pleasure of being charmed by its unique user experience and its wonderful design.
But of course despite all the buzz surrounding its existence and its lifespan, it still hasn't actually been unleashed on the general public. One of a small handful to put a time to the release of the N9 however has been Orange Switzerland. Their online store quotes the N9's expected arrival from September 15. Wonderful news, especially to those who are MeeGo fans.
