Blackberry Thunder Out And About

While the world is getting ready for the anouncement of the new iphone 2, RIM is doing its best to upstage the party. Boy Genius Report has photos of the said iphone killer called the "Blackberry Thunder", which was conveniently made available a day before the iphone announcement. It's said to be scheduled to drop in Setember, and will be exclusive to Verizon wireless.

This might be good news to some who's reception with AT&T sucks, and won't have the option of the iphone.

The New ipod 'Touch'

Ladies and Gentlemen................ The new ipod 'Touch', the 6 Generation ipod has blessed us with its first appearance. It looks like the iphone only without the phone part, and comes with 22 hours of audio playback and 5 hours for video. It has a 3.5 inch widescreen with multi-touch for beautiful video and cover flow (like the iphone), built-in WiFi. 802.11b/g, Safari for web browsing, and comes in 8GB for $299 and 16GB for $399.

This thing is bad as hell, but that's a lot of money for only 8GB and 16GB.

Where's the rest of my GB Steve????

Of course Wintek declined to comment on the news citing customer confidentiality. Which makes me think that there is something to this rumor.
