BlackBerry 9000 Goes BOLD

May 13th, 2008 by George Burnett

The BlackBerry 9000 gets official with the new name of Bold.

Official Spec are the same as rumored but we can recap here:

  • 624 Mhz Processor
  • Mini-SD slot
  • HSDPA (3G)
  • GPS
  • Wi-Fi
  • 2 Mega-Pixel Camera w/ flash and Video capabilities
  • New OS with tons of new features

All in all this will be one of the most exciting new phones to be released by RIM in quite some time and their recent 8% jump in their stock price is proof that other agree on that. The release date is not solid but is somewhere around June 18th, being released on the AT&T network first in the US.

Schmap It With Your iPod touch/ iPhone

May 13th, 2008 by George Burnett

The developers over at Schmap.com have release a neat little web-app that lets you browse for a variety of locations and events through most major cities from your iPod Touch or iPhone.

Its easy, just browse to http://www.schmap.com from either of those Apple devices over Wi-Fi or EDGE. Select the city you wish to peruse and then the sites you wish to see (cafes, hotels, tours, etc…). Schmap will then display a listing of each of the sites it has for your search. The nifty part comes when you rotate your device into landscape browsing as the listing you’ve selected will be displayed in a static Google Map image along side the original listing. For more info you should head on over to schmap.com from a regular computer/browser.
