I’ve been reading a lot of confusion on the web about the BlackBerry Magnum and the BlackBerry Pluto. Many are confused which BlackBerry touch screen the respective codenames are associated with.
BlackBerry Magnum (9220)
This touch screen device will be modeled on the BlackBerry Curve 8900 design, but will include 3G.
BlackBerry Pluto (9900)
Again a touch screen device, but this one will be modeled on the BlackBerry Bold design.
The LG KC910 (phone names are just awful these days) is rocking some specs that would make any QB reader proud. With an 8MP camera, touchscreen, quad-band GSM / 7.2Mbps HSDPA, Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, a 3-inch 400 x 240 resolution display, a microSD expansion slot, Xenon flash - alongside a Schneider-Kreuznach lens, video recording, TV output, a multimedia player (with DivX and XviD support) and built-in GPS, this phone has everything you need to be entertained. Now all it has to do is toast bread.

It seems that Motorola has unveiled the Mobile TV DH02, a new mobile TV device with a touch-based UI. The touch screen allows them to do away with any buttons, leaving the whole front of the device available for the high resolution WQVGA display. The DH02 also features PVR options like timeshift, live pause, and frame grabbing, with a buffer of up to 5 minutes, as well as automatic channel scan. They’ll be demoing the device at the CTIA Wireless show next week, where we’ll hopefully get a few more details like release date and pricing.
Just like Gameloft before them, Artificial Life has pledged to release games on the iPhone and iPod, reports Arjan at the Mobile Games Blog. The company will be releasing both licensed and original content, as well as re-makes of some classic games. Artificial Life has also taken note of the iPhone’s sensors, such as the accelerometer, and the touch screen capability, causing CEO Eberhard Schoneburg to say that it’s “more like [a] game console” than a mobile phone platform. The comments from both Gameloft and Artificial Life are a bit surprising, considering that the iPhone wasn’t considered to be a “game changer” back in March of ‘07. Regardless, Artificial Life will be releasing their games, changed or unchanged, in the second and third quarters of this year.
