The Nokia n97 has recieved an only OverTheAir (OTA) update from v21.0.045 to v21.0.102. The new firmware has Mass Memory content updates, Oi Suite 2.0, Ovi player installation files and an update to the preloaded maps. Seems to be a small step for Nokia, as this update comes after Nokia publicly apologized for the failure that is the Nokia N97. You can get a transcript of the chat from AAS here.

When is a Blackberry not a Blackberry? When it’s not black? RIM’s Thai website showcases a White Blackberry 9700, which I personally am finding vulgar. Obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I actually love the design on the 9700 BLACKberry. It looks sophisticated and is pretty popular at the moment with teenagers and businesses all using them daily, everywhere.

In politics, public opinion is one of the indicators of the desirability of a certain public official. On that account, politicians who want to capture the seat of the presidency must shell out a sizeable amount of cash to gauge his or her chances to become the chief executive of the land. This is the primary reason why the presidential hopefuls too hire the smartest and the astute political propagandists and spin doctors to build up their public image so that the nitpicking electorate can size up the presidential candidate in relation to his platform such as in economics, education, health, international policies and other important tech surveys which would create a major impact on a certain nation. In the corporate world and business world also it’s very important to beef up a particular product to instill to the buying public that this product is superior ware in terms of quality, functionality and image in comparison to the major brands in the market

Guess what just came in from Mobilefun =). All n900 users out there rejoice because I believe I have just reviewed the best valued car charger out in the market today.

Sure, we’re pretty happy that the GPS is a household item these days, but it wouldn’t be that was if Roger Easton didn’t come up with the idea at the Navy Research Labs. Originally dubbed TIMAITON for Time Navigation, the invention that we now call the GPS, used precise atomic clocks on satellites to help devices on the earth triangulate to their location. The original GPS would fill a room, and now the chips are omnipresent on mobile phones

It was only a question of time till Apple decided to venture into new segments by extending its powerful branding franchise. Swiss-watch maker Swatch was the first to foray into the car sector with its successful Smart car model joint venture with Mercedes. Now Apple is looking to replicate this success with its own vision of an ‘iCar’, combining the latest clean fuel technology with its famous App Store concept. Full details haven’t been revealed, but official sources close to the company state that the iCar will ‘integrate Apple’s leading iTunes app download technology to provide customisation capabilities never seen before in a car model’. What this means is that buyers of the iCar will be able to download the entire car specification options one-by-one from a special iCar App Store -from the accelerator display app, to the colour scheme app, rearview camera app etc, effectively ‘building’ their own electronic display features from scratch.
