After making a brief appearance on the German T-Mobile website a week ago, RIM has finally made the BlackBerry Bold 9700 official. Also known as the Onyx, the device is an upgrade over the BlackBerry Bold 9000. This is the one that people have talked about the most and been waiting for!!

 

I read some rumors saying that it will be selling around mid November for $199 with 2-year contract.

 

 

 

The phone runs on the latest BlackBerry OS 5.0 and features the optical track pad – first seen on the Curve 8520. The phone will go on sale by November on the AT&T and T-Mobile networks in the US. Other country specific launches will be coming very soon.

Disney has stepped up their games, by initiating a new project called Keychest. As we know, how much technology has been advanced these days and how much technology has influenced in our life including our kids. Now, most Five-year old boys or girls can operate computer or use the Internet faster and better than some adults!! Disney has noticed that!

 

 

Disney is readying a technology that would let viewers pay a one-off fee for permanent access to a movie or TV show across multiple devices. Keychest would let children or anyone watch on anything from a TV to an iPhone, or via cable. The content wouldn’t actually be downloaded; instead, in a could computing-like model, it would reside with the service provider, cable company or phone company. When the movie is purchased, the user is given an access key. In the mean time, Disney is in talks with a number of technology partners and try to get the project going.

Is this some kind of marketing strategic or what? Apple always pulls some smart marketing publicity from their hats to make people oohh.. and arrhhh.. Yeah.. I literally did make those sounds once looking at Apple’s updated products like iMac, MacBook, and Mac Mini. Apple knows that Microsoft will release Windows 7 this week and this is expected to be huge too. I guess that’s why Apple has decided to announce their new upgraded lines of products two days before Windows 7 release. I must say.. it DID work! Apple really stole the spotlight from Microsoft. Don’t you think?

 

Apple is still able to keep the price same as the previous model which will get even more attention from buyers. Let’s take a look real quick on these products. I will highlight some interesting changes for you.

 

iMac

 

- Apple’s new iMac line consists of two, 21.5-inch and two, 27-inch displays.

- All four models feature edge-to-edge glass that covers pretty much the entire front of the enclosure.

- LED-backlit displays with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

- The 21.5-inch iMac features 1920-by-1080 HD resolution. On the 27-inch iMac, the same port also provides input, which lets users connect any external source that has DisplayPort output, including a MacBook or MacBook Pro, and use an iMac as a display.

- SD card slots built in.

- 4 USB 2.0 ports and a FireWire 800 port.

- Come with Apple Keyboard and new multitouch Magic Mouse.

- Price starts at $1,199

 

MacBook

 

- The 13.3-inch glossy wide-screen

- LED-backlit display has a wide-screen resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels.

- The entire multitouch trackpad acts as the button

- built-in lithium-polymer battery offers the longest MacBook battery life ever — up to 7 hours on a single charge, and can be recharged up to 1,000 times, which is good for about five years of typical usage.

- MacBook comes standard with 2 GB of memory and a 2.26-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

- Built-in iSight camera and mic with iChat software added.

- Price starts at $999

 

Mini Mac

 

- Offer three upgraded models with 160-GB, 320-GB or an optional 500-GB hard drive.

- The entry-level Mac mini is fairly inexpensive by Apple standards at $599, and has a 2.26-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB of DDR3, 1066-MHz of memory, a 160-GB hard drive, five USB 2.0 ports, FireWire 800, Nvidia GeForce 9400M integrated graphics and a SuperDrive

- The $799 model features a 2.53-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4 GB of memory and a larger 320-GB hard drive.

- There’s also a brand-new Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server preinstalled — instead of a SuperDrive, there are two 500-GB hard drives for supersized storage.

 

In additional to those upgraded lines of products, Apple also has released a new multi-touch mouse. It looks awesome!

 

Multi-Touch Mouse

 

- Scroll in any direction with one finger

- Swipe through Web pages and photos with two fingers

Apple knows how to make you want to buy all of their product, doesn’t it? Wipe your mouth please … LOL!

“This is it” – just like the latest single from Michael Jackson. Today, the latest version of Microsoft Operating System, Windows 7, has officially been released. I’m very excited about it. I really do hope it has a lot improvement from Windows Vista.

 

I have waited for too long since I placed an order on Amazon during the Stimuls week for “half-price” ! .. And, I already did inform you through my Blog. So, don’t blame me if you don’t know anything about this. LOL! I’m expecting to get it for the next few days. I will update how the upgrade goes once I have it installed on my Sony laptop.

 

Dear visitor and fan club members (if there is any .. LOL),

 

I’m so sorry that I haven’t recently updated anything on my blog. I’ve been busy tweeting

 

I just want to let you know that I will update the blog soon. Thanks for all your support!
