- BlackBerry App World: PayPal Required, Older Models Not
Supported
Details about Research In Motion's forthcoming application
storefront have emerged with some surprises. Among them, the
requirement that users and developers alike have PayPal accounts
for the sale and purchase of applications. What also may be
distressing is that legacy BlackBerrys will be left out in the cold.

- Nokia Claims Firmware Update Will Fix Busted 5800 XpressMusic
So far, the U.S. launch of Nokia's first touch phone has been a
disaster. It fails to work properly on AT&T's network and Nokia's
flagship stores halted sales of the device shortly after it went
on sale. Now, Nokia says a simple firmware fix should solve on
the problems.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=11&m=31849680&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDYzMzQyMTQS1&mt=1&rt=0
- Getting IE Mobile 6 Before Windows Mobile 6.5
One of the best features of Microsoft's forthcoming Windows
Mobile release is Internet Explorer Mobile 6, which is built
largely on Internet Explorer 6 from the desktop, optimized for
the smartphone platform. It should rival the browsing experience
on the iPhone, and perhaps be even richer if the device also has
Adobe Flash Lite on it. You may not have to wait until WinMo 6.5
ships this fall, though, to get the new browser.

- iPhone Kindle: Is Kindle Gonna Be Kindling?
In a move that some may look at as an admission of defeat,
Amazon.com has made its proprietary, expensive, and single-use
hardware Kindle platform available as a free app on the
proprietary, expensive, and multiuse iPhone. Since the
Feldmonster is an admitted iPhone addict and a reading junkie,
naturally I jumped right on it. The verdict? It's pretty cool,
and if you like the Kindle store selection, it's just what Dr.
iPhone ordered. Still, it has a few warts. Read on.

- Palm's Treo Pro Finally Coming To Sprint March 15
Palm first announced the Treo Pro back in the summer of 2008.
It's been a long time coming, but Sprint will finally offer the
Windows Mobile smartphone from Palm starting March 15 for $200.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=23&m=31849680&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDYzMzQyMTQS1&mt=1&rt=0
- Jekyll & Hyde: Android Gets Finance, Guitar Hero Apps
Google recently released its Finance application for the Android
platform. Finance gives Android users the ability to check stock
quotes and other financial information in real time. In case
Finance doesn't sound too interesting, Hands-On Mobile also
released a version of Guitar Hero for Android. So now the inner
investor and inner rock star in you can work and have fun on your
Android phone.

- Amazon Releases Kindle Software In iPhone App Store
Amazon has just released Amazon Kindle for iPhone. Since its
initial release in 2007, the Kindle has been a hot seller, often
having buyers on a waiting list to get one. The Kindle 2 was
recently released and, by most accounts, it improves on its
popular predecessor. For Amazon, this isn't about the hardware,
though, it's about the content, and the company just took its
first step into the content-only sales model for Kindle books.

- Can Netbooks Survive The Carrier Subsidy Model?
AT&T recently began offering netbooks for the low price of $99 --
as long as you're willing to sign up for a $60-per-month wireless
data contract. The Internet is a key tool for netbooks, but will
the subsidy model really work as it does for cell phones?

- iPhone Claims Nearly Two-Thirds Of Mobile Browser Share
According to research by Net Applications, the iPhone is used 66%
of the time by people browsing the Web with their phone. Second
place was JavaME at 9% share.

- Motorola Shows Off New Camera Phone That Looks Like A Nokia
Motorola recently published a Web site that provides details of
an unannounced new phone. The ZN300 is a slider with a
3-megapixel camera and looks like it was designed in Espoo, not
Schaumburg.

- Doing More Than Messaging With SMS
Just about everyone knows that you can send and receive text
messages with their phones using SMS (Short Messaging Service).
Texting, as it is sometimes called, is just the beginning,
though, of what you can do with this service.
