Samsung S6700, C5510, M2510 and M2310 are introduced

The Samsung C5510 features dual band 3G, a 2 megapixel camera with fixed focus, and 16GB memory which is expandable. The Samsung S6700 is a slider with HSDPA, GPS, 3 megapixel camera with auto-focus and dual LED flash, and 120MB of storage.

BlackBerry maker Research in Motion (RIM) seems to be doing pretty well at the moment with its Q1 Earnings on the rise.

RIM?s first quarter revenue has risen (jumped) by 53 percent to $3.42 billion which has been helped by the staggering sales of smartphones. The net income rose 33 percent to $643 million which is great news.

This means that earnings per share is $1.12 which is a massive difference to last year?s $0.84, for all the answers and questions of the above please visit 123Jump.com

iPhone 3.0 Aim to support push notifications

by Techno Witch on June 29, 2009

According to iphonestalk, they haven?t seen many applications that support push notifications but apparently now AIM does and delivers instant background messages even when not running.

Apple doesn?t allow the iPhone to run background apps and as a workaround iPhone OS 3.0 supports push notifications which send SMS type alerts direct to the iPhone even when app is running.

Overall, the push notifications seem to be working really well, although when logged into AIM via the desktop client no notifications came through but once logged out the push notifications were again making their way to the iPhone.

There is an interesting article over on techcrunch that depicts the $99 iPhone 3G as the ?James Bond? of $99 phones, and is an interesting play by Apple in as much as taking a previously out of reach smartphone and placing it firmly in the magic price point area.

They looked at the $99 iPhone 3G against other $99 phones available, and set out to compare specs, but found after looking said ?it?s really a joke? as one can see all there is to see just by looking at the devices being offered at the $99 price point.

They compared the $99 iPhone 3G with the BlackBerry Curve 8310, BlackBerry Pearl 8310, LG Xenon, Motorola V365, LG enV Touch, and many more besides and still the iPhone 3G came out as the ?James Bond? of $99 phones.
