The Tech For 8/3/10: New Blackberry Being Unveiled

By -
The new Blackberry, going for $199 on a 2 year deal, is being unveiled to the masses.

And more pictures if you haven't seen them before.

The info:
RIM just announced OS 6, a new version of the OS that includes social media management, RSS feed incorporation, and a new Universal Search tool. It also includes a new WebKit browser and revamped UI. The OS will appear on the new Blackberry Torch and then be available for newer Blackberry phones.

Click through for the full press release.

The new OS also has a podcast subscription application and enhanced media playing tools including Wi-Fi media sync. Clearly RIM is going for a less intense market here.

The best movie of 2010 is deserving the big winner of the weekend. I guess those higher prices for 3-D helps in the money being large of course. "How To Train Your Dragon" grossed $43 million in week one, and the high acclaims for this outstanding movie have now stopped. If you didn't love this movie, then you should not only be banned from writing any more movie reviews ever again, but from writing all things in general.
