iPhone killer comes, beware Apple!
Blackberry 9000? Promised to come this May, this phone should play a big role for the R.I.M. because since the iPhone their sales have fallen down, plus iPhone is going enterprise - which R.I.M. can’t afford to happen, today’s most “enterprise friendly” phones are Blackberrys.
It’s not going to be a touchscreen as it seems, because R.I.M.’s CEO Mike Lazaridis says:
“It’s hard to type on a piece of glass.”
To me it sounds like:
“It’s hard to type on a piece of shit.”
And you know why? Because Apple is getting a big creamy piece of their pie now, Sad R.I.M., R.I.M. not happy! Here is smartphone sales chart: 
Awaited spects are a little better than the iPhone’s, but basically. So let’s wait for it.
P.S. Here is an interesting quote from recent NYT article:
Two independent developers writing software for coming R.I.M. devices say that a touch-screen BlackBerry is in the works, and that R.I.M. engineers privately refer to it as the A.K. — for “Apple Killer.”
P.P.S. Where is Android?
LG Prada 3G, oops, II Coming This Year (wow!)
Rumor has it, it will have the same 3-inch touchscreen, and bunch of other very fancy stuff. Sources say it’s going to have a front camera, which means it will support 3G, and slide-out full QWERTY keyboard. How are they gonna fit it in there? Looks like LG is working very hard to get their phone look like iPhone, and now, like X1? I’m still confused what’s PRADA about, a black color, very outstanding designers work!

Skype Goes Mass-Market!
Now you will be able to call cheaper with your non Windows Mobile phone, Skype is now testing their official mobile client that supports Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, and Sony-Ericsson. The software will support free Skype-to-Skype calls and landline calls thru SkypeOut, which is usually cheaper than your carriers pricing. I may assume you would need 3G or Wifi to use the software.

Windows Mobile? No, Windows Vista on Mobile!
By the end of June, you will be able to enjoy Windows Vista right on your mobile phone, with 1,33GHz Centrino Atom processor and 1GB of RAM. For only $1,526.33
With no special graphic memory, You can ask yourself a question, would Windows Vista make sense on a Mobile Phone with 1GB of RAM? While Phone has a wonderful 5 inch touchscreen, it looks very huge, but you can show off your Vista infront of the guy with HTC and his Windows Mobile 6.1 :)
New iPhone SDK Beta - Yes to Backgrond Processes?
The most dissappointing thing in SDK was that Apple limited software to run as a background process, which means, you won’t be able to have programs such as Instant Messagers, or maybe apps for themes and many more possabilities. Here is the quote of an developer who has reviewed latest SDK Beta 4:
There are definitely some very interesting methods added to UIApplication’s delegate, including methods for badging the Springboard icon, and methods related to gaining and resigning “active” status - seems like background apps may be permitted somehow.
No Firefox for iPhone, disappointed in Steve.
So you own an iPhone, and you heard of 2.0 firmware that will bring you applications you want to your phone. And if you chose your phone to be Apple, it must be because of the “Internet in your pocket” statement, made by Steve Jobs. But now, whole Mozilla crew is pissed off on Steven for his iTunes automatic updates have Safari 3.1 in it, you are now having “Safari 3.1 in your pocket”, which consumes twice more Memory than Firefox. Full Story on webware.
Apple iPhone 3G design rumor
So here is the rumored 3G iPhone back.
Well, as long as most rumors concerning Apple iPhone are made just to get some attention, I have decided to write my own opinion about this one.
I’ve tried to come up with something that will approve this design, but found nothing that would make Apple do the 3G iPhone like the picture above.
First of all, this one looks like it’s made of plastic. -1, lately Apple does every product made of aluminum, it’s even rumored that they are going to do their MacBook with aluminum cover just like their MacBook Pro and Air. And also Apple does all things shiny, but they could serve a variety for some spoiled UK and French people who would want to stand out of American crowd.
With a little effort yo could do this yourself, not even with a Photoshop, there are commercially available black skins for iPhone.
One more last detail - writing at the back, it’s very blurry and it’s out of format. Take a look at iPhone’s original back, and the first iPhone ever introduced’s back, They look no way like the one on this *most likely fake* 3G iPhone back.
And, last but not least, quality looks extremely crappy, if you had a MacBook and exclusively 3G iPhone, I guess you would certainly found a good camera to get some good flicks, and not only one with bad quality. But you would certainly did the bad quality if this was an attempt to get some visitors on your blog about mobile phones :)
