The Boy Genius has posted a fantastic video showing the Blackberry Bold web browser in action over 3G and WiFI. We have to warn you though, it’s not organized that well, but you should get the jist of it. Something we should point out as well is that when using Internet Explorer or Firefox browser emulation, a lot of sites don’t load and it gives an error, even over 3G or Wi-Fi.

Its barely announced but Treocentral are giving one lucky person the opportunity of winning a GSM Treo 850w. Why am I telling you? I have my guess of when exactly the Treo 850w is being released in and my fingers will be crossed right up to September.

Looking for small business web development near me, I spotted an interesting article at the Windows Mobile Blog which explains in quite a bit of detail the process involved in deploying new Windows Mobile OS’s along with updates etc and why it takes so long before we actually see them on devices.
