2 out of 5 Blackberry Owners Tempted by Forbidden Fruit

by Jay Garrett on March 20, 2010

Could it be that even the most ardent of Blackberry owners are preparing to turn their backs on their QWERTY machines once the iPhone 4G or iPhone HD is released?

This seems to be the case according to a survey conducted by Crowd Science. It revealed that a staggering 2 out of 5 Blackberry users said that they would to move over to the Appley handset once their contract comes up for renewal.

It appears that the major hang-up that the RIM phone lovers have is the lack of security features on the iPhone – you know, the backdoors that allow people to jailbreak the iPhone OS.

Are you a Blackberry user? Are you tempted to defect over and join us on the Apple side of the street?

Three has Sony Vivaz HD Recording Phone – Spotify Preloaded but no Membership

by Jay Garrett on March 16, 2010

The Sony Ericsson Vivaz has landed at the 3 store and with the promised Spotify.

Three has included the Spotify Symbian app all preloaded for you but Premium membership will come out of your own pocketses.

Yup, a bit of a kick in the teeth if you were expecting a similar deal to the HTC Hero 3 tariff that included Spotify Premium membership – that way you could stream just about any song you liked to your phone on demand. Loverly!

Three has the Sony Ericsson Vivaz on Pay As You Go for £349.99 or, if you sign up for a two year pay £35 monthly deal, you get the 8MP phone for free with unlimited data and texts, and 750 minutes of calls.

Looking to use Spotify on your new Sony Ericsson Vivaz? You’re looking at another £9.99 per month – let’s call it £45 per month all in for cash yeah? Errr. No.

What do you think to Three’s ‘offer’?

Let me know.

Ok, so I had dubious pics before and now here’s an equally dubious vid that points to the iPhone 4G following the Zune naming method and appearing as the iPhone HD.

I was 31 floors up in Centre Point on Tuesday to witness Sharp’s new line of televisions which, for the first time in tele history, is rocking a fourth, yellow, sub pixel joining its red, green, and blue buddies.

The Mio Moov V780 is one of those curiosities that’ll either take the market by storm or is doomed to sit in the corner of the store.
Mio are hoping that they’ve spotted a gap in the market for a SatNav that’s also capable of chucking out hi-def video through a HDMI slot or onto its [...]

When Dell grabbed Alienware for itself four years ago three key execs decided to say thanks, but no thanks.
Instead they formed ‘Origin‘ and went about building things the way Alienware originally did and created the Eon18 laptop.
The Eon18 has a distinct Alienwareness about it and, as you’d expect, this lappy is quite the customisable puter. [...]
