Apple TV in the works


Apple is supposedly planning to launch an Apple TV based on Steves biography. Rumors of an Apple-branded television have been circulating for years, but have been gaining steam following the release of the iPad as observers look to Apple's "next big thing". Could it be as revolutionary as the rest of Apple's products? One of the strongest proponents of an Apple television set has been Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, who has issued a number of reports about Apple's prospect for such a device. But of course there is no proof backing up most of these reports.

With Jobs' comments once again fanning the flames of speculation regarding an Apple television, Munster has weighed in to claim that all evidence is pointing to a launch as soon as next year. Among the newly presented evidence from Munster is a claim that prototypes of the Apple television set are now "in the works".

Blackberry Bold 9900

Blackberry has indeed gone for a bold comeback with theunlocked Blackberry Bold 9900. Not only does it have a beautiful VGA touchscreen that plays HD video vibrantly, it also sports a 1.2GHz processor powering the new Blackberry OS 7.0 with enhanced liquid graphics. Telecommunications technology has also got a boost with dual-band WiFi and NFC support.


User Interface
The sim free Blackberry 9900 has got a boost in screen size as it comes with a 2.8" screen that far outclasses anything the folks at Nokia could come up with. To make sure that you keep it this way I would recommend getting a Blackberry 9900 Screen Protector. The user interface is also complimented by navigation controls and a full qwerty keyboard. There are also the typical Blackberry keys : Place Call, End Call, Menu, and Back.

Camera
The camera UI still is the worst of the lot - RIM could have done something to spruce it up but they didn't. Does make sense when you realize that this is a business phone and not one for snapping pics of the puppy next door or taking self-portraits. The image quality is also not worth mentioning but at least they've improved from their previous devices which had extremely useless cameras.

Battery Life
Battery life on the Blackberry 9900 is not significant at all. So it would do you good to get yourself stocked with some Blackberry 9900 batteries. Casual users would not require it but if you are a true blue business man then I am pretty sure you are going to need that extra ampere. If you rather prefer to keep your Blackberry plugged in while in the office or when driving your vehicle then I have go tjust the gadget for you. We've just got a slew of accessories and they include some very cooland functional Blackberry 9900 bluetooth headsets.

Conclusion
This device looks great, feels great. The Touch screen is excellent along with the hard key controls providing for a fast and tactile keys with great ergonomics. And to top it all the bundled soft pouch has a nice leather smell, feels good.

Android: Some games that blew the charts

Google has never been great at games other than their Google Doodle games, but their Android platform continues to attract some of the best game developers around town. This article brings up two of the most popular droid games in the Play Store.


Temple Run is a game which has taken one of the most cliche scenes in mystery adventure movies, where the hero who just found the treasure, has to sprint, run and leap all the way out of the fortress where the treasure was hidden, if he wants to make it out alive. The game begins with a "Run for your Life!" as you are chased by monsters who look like cyclops' torso. This is an extremely thrilling game that requires a lot of handset shaking -- so make sure you have a good case for it.


Angry Birds Space, and it's further developed Angry Birds Star Wars Parody is perhaps the most top grossing game in Android history. The Space version of Angry Birds series features extra physics in the form of gravitational pull of planets. This means that, while playing the game, you can make your bird to curve it's path while in flight. It's pretty fun, and even essential to win some of the levels. There are also golden eggsteroids that allow you to enter a wormhole and enter a whole new secret level!

The next set of games that hope to make it big at the Android platform are augmented reality android games -- these have a chance to give you some much needed exercise.
