While still the smartphone leader, BlackBerry has dropped 12 percent in market share, first to iPhone and most recently to Android, according to Nielsen. Worse, Nielsen reports a whopping 58 percent of survey respondents say they plan on switching from BlackBerry to some – any other – smartphone OS.

The Torch (aka the Bold 9800) falls short compared to iPhone 4, Samsung Galaxy S, and all their contemporaries in nearly all other hardware capabilities. It’s powered by a 624MHz processor, rather than 1GHz engine on all other recent superphones. There’s a 5-megapixel camera with a flash, but only a VGA rather than HD video recorder, and just 4GB of built in memory rather than 8GB or even 16GB, and Bluetooth 2.1 instead of 3.0, The Torch has a slide out vertical keyboard under a full multitouch capacitive touchscreen,The Torch is BlackBerry's First phone comes with OS 6 adding many new features.
Comparing to any other BB phones it's the best in my opinion.Smile

Toshiba KIRA2 HDTV and CELL Set-Top Box

Toshiba will reportedly release a 3D television that does not require 3D glasses.

The company will produce three models before the holiday season, according to Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper. They won't come cheap; the paper said each set will likely cost several thousand dollars.

Toshiba came up with a technology that displays rays of light at different angles, which eliminates the need for the glasses, the paper said.

"We are developing 3D TVs without the need for glasses, but cannot comment further as we have yet to decide upon when to commercialize such a product, concrete specifications, or any other details," a Toshiba spokesman said in an e-mail.

Call phones from Gmail

Gmail voice and video chat makes it easy to stay in touch with friends and family using your computer’s microphone and speakers. But until now, this required both people to be at their computers, signed into Gmail at the same time. Given that most of us don’t spend all day in front of our computers, we thought, “wouldn’t it be nice if you could call people directly on their phones?”
Starting today, you can call any phone right from Gmail.

Calls to the U.S. and Canada will be free for at least the rest of the year and calls to other countries will be billed at our very low rates. We worked hard to make these rates really cheap (see comparison table) with calls to the U.K., France, Germany, China, Japan—and many more countries—for as little as $0.02 per minute.
