The popular CNN news network have just released a rather excellent application for the iPhone. As you will see in the video below the app incorporates not just the news headlines but video as well as some other super features.
If you have an iPhone and like to keep up to date with world news then this app is a must. It’s free as well!
Check out the short demo video below to see what it has to offer.
Salomondrin.net has done it again. They have shown us a new BlackBerry Bold, this one is allegedly the 9780!
Specs are sketchy but it is believed to have 512mb of flash memory.
Clearly running BlackBerry 6 this is good news and possibly bad. The good news is that RIM are also focusing on non touch screen devices as well as the touch screen ones we have already heard about.
The bad news is that is it possible that the current Bold 9700 will not be upgradable to BlackBerry 6? If this is the case I will be very disappointed.
Lets hope we get to see this new Bold on video soon.

If you are are BlackBerry user and also use Twitter than you will more than likely be aware of UberTwitter as it is, in my opinion, the best BlackBerry Twitter app available.
The good news is UberTwitter have just released a new version if their beta which includes different coloured themes, something we have not seen before, and a slightly different user interface style. If you fancy giving it a try just click here from your BlackBerry browser and download for free.
I’m loving the new green logo UberTwitter!

For, what seems to be the best PR move in history, Samsung UK has been pleasing frustrated iPhone customers by giving away a free Galaxy S to owners of the iPhone 4 who have had reception issues. How are they doing this? Well, through their twitter account of course. You do not need to give them anything, execpt for your address, and then they will send you out a free Galaxy S phone!
Official Statment from Samsung:
Recently there has been a real increase in online activity from consumers dissatisfied with some of our competitors’ products. We decided to contact a cross section of individuals to offer them a free Samsung Galaxy S as a replacement, as we’re confident that once people have the phone in their hands, they’ll see how impressive it is for themselves.
It seems that Samsung have already given out quite a few of these Galaxy S devices. Sure beats a free bumper case.
A few months ago I got my hands on the Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet and we did a little review of the portable media player.
This time I’ve got my hands on the Archos 5 Internet Tablet to review. So at this point you may be wondering if I’ve just repeated myself in the last two sentences. However, the two devices are indeed different. The hardware on both the Internet Media and the Internet Tablet are much the same, the come in 32GB to 500GB models for example. However where they differ is in the operating system. The Internet Media tablet having a custom Linux-based OS and the Internet Tablet has a more standard Android operating system. We thought it would be worth seeing what this Android version had to offer.
As always the review is in the making but for now you can take a look at the unboxing video below.
Those of you waiting for the release of the white iPhone4 are going to be bitterly disappointed. Apple have said the launch will now not be until later in the year due to manufacturing of the white version being more complicated. You would have thought they new about this a while ago!
An Apple spokesman has said the following:
“White models of Apple’s new iphone 4 battery have continued to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, and as a result they will not be available until later this year. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.”
Could they be looking at a new antenna design I wonder?
Just had an email from the guys over at eXpansys letting us know that they have a great deal to offer on cases for the iPhone 4 and 4S.

Since HP’s acquisition of Palm, HP have said that they will continue development of the promising webOS platform and put it on consumer devices, such as phones, tablets and even printers. Jon Rubenstein, the Palm CEO who nurtured webOS’s birth, has said that webOS 2.0 is ‘on track for release later this year’ in an interview with Fortune. It is praised more or less across the board for being one of the nicest, most intuitive and modern mobilie OS’s made, and it would be a great shame to see it go. Luckily, HP have also seen it’s potential and have decided to carry on developing it. Hopefully the next major version of webOS will also bring new cutting edge hardware to match, something Palm seemed to lack, and also something that we hope HP can help out with.
Apple has just released a statement about the white iPhone and it is not good news. The white iPhone 4 is apparently much more difficult to manufacture than the black iPhone 4.
White models of Apple’s new iPhone 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, and as a result they will not be available until later this year. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.
If you are still waiting for the white iPhone 4, you may be waiting a long time for this mythical device.
The Google Nexus One was launched only 7 months ago but now Google have stopped selling their Nexus One, at least through their own online store. Despite not moving a great number of handsets, they did admit that they didn’t expect huge sales numbers – the Nexus One was supposed to raise Android’s presence and mind share whilst being easily accessible.
Back in May, Google announced that after the last batch of Nexus Ones, that would be it. Now that day has come, and checking in at their store greets you with a message saying that it’s no longer available. That doesn’t mean you can’t buy one via other means though – it’s still available via Vodafone here in the UK, and Google will also be happy to sell you one if you’re a developer. So, are we disappointed? Well, not really as there’s still it’s superbrother, the HTC Desire, and other current and future Android competition like the Samsung Galaxy S and maybe a Nexus Two?

Microsoft’s Senior Product Manager, Greg Sullivan, confirmed who the Windows Phone 7 launch OEM’s would be in an interview with Pocket-lint. Dell, Asus, LG, HTC, and Samsung are all going to have Windows Phone 7 on some sort of device at around the time of the launch date but we do not know what these devices will be yet. Talking of the launch date, Microsoft is saying “Holdiay 2010,” so we should see some devices in time for Christmas. But, knowing Microsoft, they will release most of the devices in January and miss Christmas.
