Error or marketing strategy? Research in Motion (RIM) has announced it accidentally touch the new BlackBerry Curve 9380 and BlackBerry Bold 9790 Bellagio. On the official blog for developers is in fact appeared in a post which provides useful information for those wishing to make their applications compatible with the next models of marketing.

A few are still available information, we know that the Touch BlackBerry Curve 9380 will be a full touchscreen device with a 3.2 inch screen with resolution 360 × 480. In this case, the software developed for the BlackBerry Torch 9800 should run without any further modification.

As for the BlackBerry Bold 9790 Bellagio, it will be a smartphone with full QWERTY keyboard with screen resolution 360 × 2:44 480 inches. Developers can build made ??for adapting the BlackBerry 9800 Torch changing the screen orientation, or add touch support to those made ??for the BlackBerry Bold 9700.

Both devices are expected to come to market with the new OS BlackBerry OS 7.

WindowsPhone is a Windows operating system that has not yet passionate young users, but maybe with the new smart phones coming to market this may change. The iPhone 4S, announced a few days ago, needs no introduction, despite some minor criticism received. The only terminal that can compete with the Apple product is actually the HTC Titan, characterized by a huge 4.7-inch display.

From the standpoint of design, the HTC smartphone does not differ much from previous models. The main difference is obviously the size: about 1.5 centimeters long and 1 cm wider than the iPhone 4S. 4.7-inch screen is great for viewing content, but it definitely reduces the portability of the device. Unfortunately, the resolution is not adequate for a diagonal so great. HTC would have to choose at least one QHD resolution (540 × 960 pixels).

The internal memory is 16 GB, the same fittings as the cheaper version of iPhone. Like Apple, even Microsoft does not allow the use of a microSD slot.
The processor frequency was increased compared with the first Windows phone terminals (1.5 GHz to 1 GHz), although performance is not up to the A5 dual core CPUs Apple iPhone by built-in. As for the graphics section, you do not know details on the GPU, while the graphics chip Apple has shown a higher power than that used in Galaxy S II from Samsung.

An advantage compared to the iPhone the HTC Titan could be the rear camera with two LED flash, but it is a feature of little consequence. The comparison is all the remaining specifications in favor of the Apple product. From a software perspective, IOS is more complete and mature than Windows Phone: The advantage is the integration of Microsoft’s operating system with all its services, particularly with the Xbox Live gaming platform.

Although Sony Ericsson has released details of the results obtained in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, indicating that it has closed with profits in line with expectations. No comments have been released but rumors circulated around the Net a few days ago, they saw a possible acquisition by Sony Sony Ericsson, said it intends to control the entire brand.

Q3 2011 sales of Sony Ericsson are the slight decline, amounting to 1.59 billion compared to 1.6 billion achieved in the same quarter of 2010. Smartphones have been placed on the market 9.5 million and net income, before taxes, totaled 31 million euros, an improvement compared to a loss of 42 million a year earlier.

Sony Ericsson will therefore have to beat on the ground of smartphones, today in the enormous expansion in order to enhance its position in the field of mobile telephony. For this reason, the company announced that it will continue to invest in the smartphone market during 2012 and will move its entire production in this segment. The intention is to improve the portfolio of smartphones in the future and be able to compete with the fierce competition.

But no confirmation of the fact that Sony is willing to buy 50% of the joint venture held by Ericsson, so to learn more about the time we have to wait.

Although not very competitive prices compared to some competing models, iPhone 4S recorded excellent results with regard to pre-order. But how many users will have an older version of the smartphone to put hands in their pockets to buy the new product. The analyst Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray has tried to answer the question, focusing particular attention on the number of the owner of an iPhone 3G ready for the upgrade.

According to data collected from Munster, in the coming years will total 18.8 million units of iPhone 4S purchased by those who are currently in possession of an iPhone by a third generation.

This is a value obtained through a mathematical calculation. Assuming that 27.6 of 3G owners have said in June its intention to change your smartphone, you can subtract this number 25% that has already purchased an iPhone 4 and 15% passed the competitive platform Android. The result, as mentioned above, is 18.8 million. In the count were not considered the current owners of the iPhone 3G, iPhone 4 or the first-generation model.

More generally, the analyst expects a sales volume amounted to 104.4 million units for the iPhone in the fiscal year 2012, an increase of 35% compared to 2011. In the past twelve months the increase was over 90%, as well as in the previous year.

Acer is added to the list of manufacturers that have announced a smartphone with Windows Phone, presenting the model Allegro which should arrive in Europe by the end of 2011.

The specific dell’Acero Allegro are of high standard, but what makes this model special is the price. Acer Allegro, in fact, is a low cost device sold at a price of around 349 euros.

The specifications of Allegro should be the following:

•      Qualcomm MSM8255 processor with 1 GHz;
•      3.6-inch display with 480 × 800 pixels;
•      5 megapixel camera with autofocus;
•      WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1 and DLNA;
•      8 GB of space available for storage.

The operating system is obviously Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango). Looking at the specs, we can deduce that the new terminal of Taiwan is the European version dell’Acero W4 announced at IFA in Berlin.

Rumor and speculation about the Nexus Prime continue to arrive on the Net The smartphone, which in all probability will be presented by Samsung and Google at Unpacked 2011 event scheduled for Tuesday, seems to become the flagship of the Android catalog, going way to clash directly with Apple’s competition, who recently unveiled to the world the new iPhone 4S. But someone can not just sit with folded hands waiting to know more about this device, so as to try to achieve a mockup.

The hypothetical design of Nexus Prime (visible in the opening) has made its appearance in the pages of Tumblr, by a user remain anonymous. The line of the device follows the one shown in part in the first photograph was stolen on the web, while the curved profile refers to the official teaser released in recent days. The display shows an interface inspired by the colors of the Honeycomb operating system, although it seems almost certain that the new “Google mobile” will be the first to equip Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

As for the hardware specifications of the integrated Nexus Prime, utter confusion reigns. Some speak of a 1.2 GHz processor, a chip more powerful than other 1.5 GHz, perhaps made by Texas Instruments and Samsung as happened with the popular model Galaxy S II. The camera may have a resolution of 8 megapixel camera with ability to record 1080p Full HD movies, or less advanced optics only 5 megapixels.

Do not even rule out the possibility of seeing a multicolor LED for notifications on the body of the smartphone, quite similar to what has already experienced the first branded Google Nexus. If we know more in a few days, as announced by the streaming video below, from which you can learn what appears to be the only certainty at the time notice Nexus Prime, or the particular display curved.

Sony in talks with Ericsson would be to detect the full fee that the phone manufacturer has in the joint venture Sony Ericsson branded phones. The anonymous source has revealed to Reuters and the news was confirmed by the Wall Street Journal.

Apparently, Sony wants to acquire 50% ownership share of its partners, in an amount equal to the transition more than a billion euros. The negotiations for the acquisition of the Swedish whole Sony Ericsson have already started but it is not clear whether the operation will fail and the Japanese team would not comment on the news.

Where the acquisition of control of the joint venture goes ahead, it would come as Sony Ericsson products on the market but a whole new line. Perhaps Sony is ready to play alone in the smartphone market? Could be. Moreover, our partnership with Ericsson and Sony has produced amazing results lagged behind in this market segment, now dominated by Apple and Android. There is therefore a need to unify all consumer electronics products under its own brand: as tablets, PlayStation, TV and other products are all under the Sony brand, smartphones are not.

In the smartphone market seems to be underway in a real earthquake seems to want to buy Sony Ericsson, Vodafone would be interested in RIM, manufacturer of BlackBerry, Nokia is in the crosshairs of Microsoft and Google has acquired Motorola. Everything to counter Apple, which has just unveiled a disappointing iPhone 4S instead of the much anticipated iPhone 5.

During the keynote culminated in the presentation of the new iPhone 4S, Apple has maintained its strategy to support even the most of his famous music player iPod Nano, with improvements in the new models that involve a redesigned user interface with larger icons, the Nike + Fitness feature (pedometer) and sixteen new types of clock. Upgrades that will be also available for older models via firmware update.

Recalling that the iPod Nano is now sold in seven different colors at a price of $ 129 for the 8 GB model and 149 for the iPod with 16 GB of flash memory, experts have been snooping in the iFixit site new generation of devices, discovering a new very interesting.

In fact, the weblog Toshiba NAND flash module present in previous models was replaced by a brand SanDisk flash memory, which thus appears as the only true internal change of the new device. For the rest, no changes were made just as important.

The display still measures 240 × 240 pixels and remains inextricably tied to the front window. The battery is always connected to the logic board, which has the seventh-generation Apple iPod Nano three chips, as in the predecessors. Replaced instead of the processor: it is now a chip 339S0104 33850859 against the past.

After a long digression on the initial success of Apple, almost a flashback of last WWDC, the last event “Let’s talk iPhone” comes alive with the presentation of the iPod line, an orphan of the traditional keynote in September.

It starts with the iPod Nano, one of the successes of last season, with a public response to the limits of the miraculous. Today the new version is presented, with a slimmer design, a multitouch screen, FM radio, new volume buttons and a handy pedometer for all physical activities in which it is used. iPod Nano is available now at $ 149 for 16 GB version and 129 for up to 8 GB.

Even iPod Touch gets an upgrade, with the availability in the new two-tone black and white and a very attractive price, $ 299 for 32 GB version and 399 for and 64 GB. Confirmed the presence of the usual design and Retinal Display, as in other previous generation, while there is the much discussed 3G connectivity.

It is therefore high time to open the new iPhone, the most anticipated for the day. The first to make his entrance on stage 4S iPhone, the latest version of the iPhone 4. iPhone 4S is equipped with a processor A5, mounted on the same iPad 2, and allows graphical experience level, up to 7 times better than its predecessor. The design, however, is virtually identical to that of the iPhone 4.

Battery life is very promising, since it has an estimated life of 8 hours 3G talk time, and seems to have passed the age-old problem of the antenna, with a particular system that differs from that of the GSM wireless and able to choose a or the other according to actual needs. iPhone 4S also has both GSM and CMDA connectivity for download speeds of up to 14.4 Mbps on 3G In this way, 4S iPhone becomes the first “World Phone” never practiced, or used in any place of the ground.

How easy to deduce, 4S iPhone also has a new camera, the 8-megapixel resolution, detailed optics with 5 lenses, a new filter for the infrared and a better compliance in the rendering of color fidelity. Then there is a new sensor for backlit images even more vivid and alive, without some artifacts present on normal targets mounted on smartphones. The shots, finally, are very fast: it takes less than 1 second so that the device stores the captured image. And what about videos? iPhone 4S supports the resolution to 1080P, with lots of image stabilization and reduction of background noise. And now you can see movies on your TV at home, with features such as Mirroring Airplay.

There is also introducing a new feature, developed by the Syrians, or the new voice commands designed specifically for iPhone OS and iPhone 4S. The system includes an intelligent any question asked by the user, providing to enable the associated function. For example, you can ask what the iPhone 4S weather, and the system will respond with voice very natural. The same is true with the stock exchange, restaurants and any other information could be useful to you. The service even allows dictation of messages, as they could be text messages, booking appointments or setting the alarm clock services.

The long-awaited iPhone 5, however, does not exist.

Contrary to what was announced in recent months, the early rumors that anticipate the highly anticipated Apple event just seems that the new iPhone 5 will not be able to support 4G networks, while continuing to operate on the same 3G predecessor. A big change, as anticipated by the Wall Street Journal, much in contrast with competitors based on the Google Android operating system that have already embraced the new technology.

When is AT & T and Verizon, the only two telecommunications companies U.S. partners of the iPhone, are developing new networks 4G LTE, although the first is currently advertising its system HSPA +, which is a technology even third generation despite the high speeds download, very similar to those of the new network.

The third partner in the future, Sprint, on the other hand has already begun to exploit the new 4G with WiMAX technology, even this standard, completely different than its competitors, thus fall into the possibilities of the new iPhone, even before they reach the market, it may not fully meet expectations.

Waiting to find out all the specifics, just remember that the Chinese section of Unicom had made ??a few months ago to escape the news of a possible support of HSPA +, which would ensure the new jewel of Cupertino a download speed of 21Mbps well.
