Dell, entering the competitive world of smartphones, was something that everyone dreamed of and it seems as if their dreams are about to come true, and that too in a big away not too far in the future. The company is planning the release of a Windows Phone 7 handset and a leak few months back revealed the company’s plans of launching a few devices that will be powered by Android. It seems like the competition to get us to but smart phones just got even hotter.

The Dell Thunder is supposedly going to have a 4.1 inch OLED screen, but after HTC’s recent enforced change to Sony’s Super LCD because Samsung was not being able to cope with the demands for OLED screens, we can never be too sure until it is actually launched. The Thunder is also going to have an 8 MP camera that will have the capacity to shoot 720p videos, on the lines of the Droid X from Motorola, the Unlocked iPhone4 and almost all the new smart phones that are being launched in the market.

The model that was leaked was seen to be running the Android 2.1 but the actual release will probably have the Froyo or the Android 2.2, it was revealed by a source close to the company. However, when it will be launched and how much it will cost was not revealed.

However, with the lack of production of the Dell Aero which was released in March raises the question if Dell will actually be able to meet the demands if it does actually launch the phone into the market. The company has won over many hearts with its PC’s and laptops, but people and experts are already very skeptical about the long term success of the company in this market.

The BlackBerry  Unlocked Torch 9800 is being built up as the biggest leap in the evolution of BlackBerry and the fact that it is not over hyped has been echoed by experts, critics and the general public alike. This slider from the company is in a class of its own, having a QWERTY keypad, and a totally optical track pad, alongside the fact that it has touch screen display. The phone is running on BlackBerry 6 OS and the phone has got a total overhaul in the browser facility, with the introduction of tabbed browsers so that multiple numbers of websites can be accessed at the same time. The pinch-to-zoom technology that was so far present only in the unlocked iPhone4 will also be making its debut for BlackBerry.

It is Blackberry’s first phone which will be capable of next-generation messaging that will include messaging in groups for up to 10 people at a time, as well as 10 different locations at the same time. You will be able to access all the popular social networking websites such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and many others from the Torch and that is very good news for all the hip and happening folks out there. The Torch also has by far, the best camera on any BlackBerry with a 5 MP camera that has flash, auto focus technology and different settings for different environments.

The Unlocked  Torch 9800 also has the latest Wi-Fi network support, which can easily be accessed from homes, offices as well as on fastest 3G network in the country that easily has more than 20000 Wi-Fi Hot Spots of AT&T throughout the nation.

Now, that is just music to the ears for those who are in love with the BlackBerry and everything related to it and the fact that the Torch will be a huge hit might just be a matter of time.

Very recently, there was news that the TweetDeck Beta for Android had been leaked and the news was met with a huge frenzy and craze from all over the globe, but that excitement soon died down when it was reported that the leaked version was an old build. However, there is something to get excited as of now. The Twitter application that is on Android phone will be launched in just over a few days or so, as it was reported on the Twitter account of TweetDeck. (That could easily make for a very hard tongue twister: TweetDeck Twitter Account)

But unfortunately, it will not be available in the Android market just as yet, which is definitely not a very good thing. It is being reported that it might take at least a few more months or even a year for this to happen, and that is just plain sad. But what can we do other than to just wait for it. We might have to just be content for now with Twitter or Seemic for Android to keep hold of yourself for the time being (at least it is much better than having nothing at all). But do remember, ‘patience is a virtue’.

You know very well how time flies and very soon, you might just be tweeting about your lunch menu, dinner place, hangouts with your friends or a date with your hot girlfriend and might just end up sharing every bit of gossip and news and become a rage among your friends. Now, that would not be half as bad, would it? However, do unlocked iPhone4 users need to be reminded that it is already available for your platform?

As said before, the application has not been made available in the Android market, and all the details pertaining to its installation and other information are available in the TweetDeck blog.

The Golf Channel has announced the launch of the Golf Channel Mobile application which will be available on unlocked iPhone4 and Android devices. The channel will reportedly provide access to all the features of the channel and if you are a fanatic of the channel, it would be stupid for you to not install the application on the device that you use, and here are a few reasons why you should have it:

• The interface is very clean and is tremendously user friendly
• You will have access to the everyday news, reviews of movies and many other different programs
• Instructions and tips on many different topics (let’s not reveal the topics just to keep it interesting)
• You can demand the videos that you want to watch
• Many other features related to travel and adventure, and much more.

It can be said that the Golf Channel cell phone application is the best application for many of your needs and other demands and the application delivers on what it promises as well. Use your iPhone or Android device and head on to the website of the Golf Channel and follow the instructions that you find over there and get started with the application.

It has always been the goal of the channel to keep the fans and viewers always gripped and updated about the latest from the world of sports, be it tips on how to better their own game or letting them know of every move their favorite golfers are making. The application will offer absolutely free content that will help the recreational golfer improve his game. There will be tips, as well as a vast collection of videos for the viewer to go through. There will also be pointers on what equipment to choose among various other things.

Apple seems to have pleased its advertising partners greatly with its new iAd platform. The partners seem happy with early returns from the platform but at the same time mention clearly that for now it is way too early to call it and absolute winner when it comes to cell phone advertising.

The whole platform that is iAd was integrated with the unlocked iPhone4 along with simultaneous inclusion in the iOS 4 from Apple. The basic idea of the platform is to enable advertisers to use the accelerometer, rich media and advanced graphics within the Apple apps and in this way make mobile ads interesting, compelling and interactive such that users don’t feel detracted from the overall feel of the iPhone. Companies like Nissan, Dove and Dictionary.com expressed their satisfaction with the iAd application after being one of the first companies to use its functions.

Chad Jacoby, senior manager at Nissan’s media department claims that iAd is the “most progressive thing” that could’ve happened to mobile advertising and it provides companies with an opportunity to take advantage of the phenomenon that it is. Other establishments claim that its higher levels of engagement enable iAd to charge more for its advertising space.

What is interesting is the fact that the iAd platform may well be a huge blow to Google’s plans for its phone advertising section, considering the amount of traction it is inevitably gaining. Google recently acquired Admob for close to a billion dollars, but it now turns out these ads may well be technically blocked by the Apple programs. However Google still holds the edge when it comes to advertising as compared to Apple for the simple reason that Google has a longer history in this sector. With Windows waiting in the wings to jump into the phone ad sector, things may well heat up further. Who will turn up victorious? That is something that only time will ever be able to tell us.

CNET news formerly known as News.com is a media company co-founded by Shelby Bonnie and Hashley Minor in 1993. In 1997 CNET acquired the Swiss company GDT and was later renamed to CNET Channel. CNET.com is the official site of CNET where reviews, news, downloads, comparison of prices about the latest technological devices is published. In 2008 it got transferred to CBS and its properties were merged into CBS Interactive.

CNET recently designed a application for new unlocked iPhone4. This new application can be downloaded for free from the App Store. This newapplication is equipped with some unique features. Here the news or blogs are downloaded as a whole rather than piece by piece which makes it easier for long time mobile users to be informed about what’s latest in the tech world. Applications can also be saved in the form of bookmarks. Users can browse social networking sites and read blogs and reviews at the same time.

News including latest application news from different blogs and categories like Crave, Business Tech, Wireless, Security, Cutting Edge, Webware, Apple, Politics, Law, Gaming and Microsoft. Also tweets posted by CNET top editors can be viwed with the help of this application. Some of the most editors with maximum number of fans are Molly Wood, Bonnie Cha, Brian Tong, Natalie Del Conte, Jessica Dolcourt and Maggie Reardon. If users like a certain blog, tweet or article then can share it with friends and family via Twitter, Facebook or they can simply email it also. In a nutshell this is surely one of the top unlocked iPhone4 applications.

Some other associations of CNET websites include MP3.com, Mertacritic, TV.com, GameFAQ’s and Movie Tome which are operated under the title of “CNET Networks Entertainment”. In November 2006 CNET Networks Community was developed which would post blogs about the latest web applications.

There seems to be quite a race for the wireless service providing in Canada these days. Recently Wind had launched a no- contract wireless service. To meet up with the profits made by Wind on their smart move, now Rogers are picking up on the trick and launching their own no-contract wireless services in Canada today, which is to be called Chatr.

Chatr seems to have quite an inventory. Chatr has a lot of top notch cell phones in its list which includes the Unlocked  Nokia 1661 candy bar for $60, LG BR125R flip for $75, Nokia 2680 portrait slider for $95, and Samsung Gravity landscape slider for $130. The schemes or rather the plans/ rates are at $35 a month and unlimited talk and the texting is at $45 a month. But hey! Don’t get too zealous hearing that ‘unlimited’ word. Nothing counts unless you are in their ‘specified’ zones. Once you step out of the zone the plans that you were acquainted with vanishes and are replaced with some whooping rates. The Chatr plans include cities like Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, and Ottawa.

But the big question is: how does Chatr fair in the competition? Wind has about the same plans but they do have an added scheme, which allows for free calling to other Wind Zones across Canada. But again the Chatr voicemail rates which is at $0.25 is much better than that of Wind’s $5/month as it’s already included in Chatr’s $45 a month plan. Not only that, the call forwarding and the 3 way calling option is much better for the Chatr than that for Wind.

Rogers is still calling all the shots and it seems it is likely to stay that way with Apple’s 4G iPhone unlocked handset is being connected through them in Canada but the small ones are putting up a good completion.

It’s been quite some time since rumours were doing the rounds regarding Motorola splitting their empire into two halves. Now the news has been confirmed. Motorola is indeed dividing their company into two segments within the first quarter of next year. Many of you who have been a keen watcher of the cell phone industry and how it has shaped must be remembering that model RAZ which had been a ‘must have’ for many-a-tech fan. But Motorola has failed to revive their past glory days.

The first segment, one which handles the manufacturing of the equipments that make the operators, the networks segment is rumoured to be sold off to the Nokia Siemens Networks at a moderate costing of $1.2 billion. Wall street journal is set on announcing the final outcome of the company within these few days.

One also hears that there has been a Chinese infrastructure company, Huawei that has liquidated funds and cut down prices drastically so as to buy off Motorola’s networks division. But if sources are correct, it seems that the American government wasn’t too keen on doing such a ‘rash’ business and turned it down saying that they weren’t too comfortable with the sale. It’s not only that the Americans who seem to be flinching at the Chinese vendors, but recently even the Indian government condemned the buying of equipment from the Chinese vendors on account of the poor quality.

Motorola has been doing meek business these days in comparison to their earlier profit margins. They had launched the android models recently which were to an extent a success, given the fact that they were competing against the Apple’s Unlocked iPhone 4 launch. But it seems that Motorola needs to pull out more tricks from up its sleeve if it thinks of staying in the completion against the Nokia network.

Augmented Reality comes into the fray as Shotzoom Software is coming with its newest golf app for the Apple’s Unlocked  iPhone4. With this new app, they have only wished to target the owners of the iPhone only. With this the users can experience the augmented reality of several golf courses all around the world and follow the arrows from the camera viewfinder and if one needs more information they can simply click on the spots from where you will be directed to the pages which will give you the information about the specific place that you want to check out.

This app has an amazing support capability to the tune of around thirty five thousand courses around the world and has over forty targets for every hole which pretty much means that this app can be used at any golf course around the world and at any time of the day. The Golfscape is available at a nominal pricing of $19.99 and can be purchased from the iTunes store.  The Shotzoom app is a relative upgrade from its initial two apps which were also pretty successful. These older apps are the Golfshot which was the Golf GPS and the GolfPlan which was also developed with assistance from golfing experts like the Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger. Both these apps are pretty famous and popular on the iTunes store and can be purchased from the store at prices of $29.99 and $4.99.

There also have been some reports that the Golfscape also has the capability to run on the Unlocked Iphone  3GS as this phone also comes with a built in compass. Therefore if you are a golfing fan then this one is definitely for you. Just use this on the course and you will be able to see the obstacles and all that is ahead of you by simply holding the camera up.

This is something which is always close to our heart for the people who have been into gaming when they were small. This will surely be the case when the new Space Invaders HD releases as a game on the Apple app store and can be used on the iPad. This version of Taito’s very popular game Space Invaders had released on the unlocked iPhone 4 but this new HD version is slightly different which can only be used on the iPad. Furthermore, this is not some kind of evolution of the new and improved Space Invaders Infinity which is not the original version of the game which we are pretty fond of. If we may say, this recreation of the older game is pretty good and we really like it when some classic game is recreated like this.

This game is of course slightly different from the version which was earlier released version for the mobile phone. First and foremost, the screen of the iPad can be used for this game with dedicated controls which will be there at the bottom of the screen. The game surface covers most of the top part of the screen and the lower part will sport the shot button and the joystick. The game will however only support a single player mode and the bottom controller can be used to control the ship in the game. Other than this you will also get the somewhat dicey Accelerometer control which can be adjusted from the iPad’s control which goes by the same name.

However for the people who do not want to only play a single player mode, there is an option for double player mode which is much like the classic arcade game where you can sit on the either side of the iPad and can control the game when it is your turn.
