I for one am intrigued, to have everything at my fingertips, more so for “Surface” to home PC, but you get the point. Apple did it backwards, flood the world with iPhones, then make everything work together. Finally Microsoft is catching up, and that’s a good thing.

You thought the iPhone4/4S display was crisp and clear… go here to read the full story and see some image comparisons to see exactly what I am talking about. Just think, a display so clear and smooth that you cannot see the pixels anymore (kind of like looking through a sheet of glass). If they are able to apply this resolution to a TV screen 10x the size it would be like having a 16000p display never mind 1080p, that is just amazing. It’s an amazing time in technology, and it only gets better as the years fly by.

“Steve’s extraordinary vision and leadership saved Apple and guided it to its position as the world’s most innovative and valuable technology company,” said Art Levinson, Chairman of Genentech, on behalf of Apple’s Board. “Steve has made countless contributions to Apple’s success, and he has attracted and inspired Apple’s immensely creative employees and world class executive team. In his new role as Chairman of the Board, Steve will continue to serve Apple with his unique insights, creativity and inspiration.”

See? What did I say, just because he stepped down as CEO he will still be there to guide the company that he built. I mean when you are Steve Jobs, or Bill Gates, you never leave the company completely… Good Luck in your new position Steve…

Nooowww we hit 2011 and Facebook has one upped EVERYONE… basically its an iPhone app that allows you to send messages to anyone on any device anywhere in the world. Facebook Chat is what they call it, you might have noticed how they aggregated all of their messaging into one neat and tidy section where you can now happily scroll through ANY message you EVER sent, to ANYONE, unless of course you deleted your history, might be a good idea for some of the folks out there… you know what I mean

Anyways, you have got to check this out… go here… and here to download the iPhone App

Happy Messaging!

It also offers a 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor, NFC technology for mobile payments, a 5-megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording, 8GB of internal memory, and more. The Bold 9900 is a quad-band GSM device with compatibility with HSPA+ networks, while the Bold 9930 is the dual-mode version with both CDMA and GSM support.

Not only will the 9900 be the thinnest BlackBerry to date, measuring in at 10.5 millimeters thick, but the new hardware should also make it one of the most powerful. The new 1.2GHz processor runs at nearly double the clock speed of the Bold 9780, and system memory will be expanded up to 768MB. We’ll just have to wait a little longer to finally get our chance to pick up the 9900 and check out the new BlackBerry OS 7.

Check out the official BlackBerry 9900 webpage and see some of its awesome new features.

PlayBook has a 7″ 1024×600 WSVGA capacitive LCD touch screen, a 1 GHz dual-core CPU, 1 GB of RAM memory, a 1080p HDMI output, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a 5-megapixel camera on the back, as well as a 3-megapixel one on the front for video chats. The aforementioned $499.99 will get you the 16 GB variant, and you’ll have to dish out $599.99 or $699.99 for the 32 GB and the 64 GB model, respectively.

I figured I was going to order one in the past, but i have decided since I have my iPhone, I don’t really need one.

The next thing that I do want to add to my collection is a Nettop, stay tuned!

* 4.3” FWVGA 854×480 screen
* Android 2.1
* Either Motoblur or Ninjablur
* Upgraded navigation bar
* Separate HDMI dock
* Light physical construction – yet very durable
* 8 megapixel camera
* Video recording (720p)
* CLIQ XT keyboard with Swype preload
* 1 GHz ARMv7 processor
* 8GB storage
* Battery management software for increased life

All I can ask for from a phone, is functionality, threaded texting, instant messaging, a half decent camera, and please, PLEASE give me battery life that can at least compete to the all mighty blackberry…

Check out this story over at CNET for more details on the highly anticipated phone…

According to NPD, devices running Android accounted for 28 percent of the units sold to U.S. consumers in the first quarter of 2010. BlackBerry devices made by Research In Motion, which use RIM’s homegrown operating system, took the top spot with 36 percent of the U.S. market. Apple’s iPhone, which had been in the No. 2 spot previously, fell to third place with 21 percent of the market.

Just remember that Google Android’s success can mainly be because it runs on many different pieces over different vendors. Also iPhone hasn’t changed their front end since it was first released! Google Android also handles multitasking, one of the many things that iPhone just got multitasking in its latest OS(and they still haven’t changed the front-end!).

Android 2.2, code-named “FroYo,” will fully support Adobe’s Flash platform,  Andy Rubin, Google’s vice president of engineering, told The New York Times’ Bits blog Tuesday. Google’s show of Flash support came weeks after Apple, Android’s rival, announced changes that made it more difficult for Flash application developers to create apps for its iPhone.

What is an smart device without flash anyways? There is just so much rich content out there developed using flash, how can one ignore it. Apple, why don’t you give up? We are onto you!
