Nokia Messaging Beta for IM now available for touch-based devices

 

The guys over on The Nokia Beta Labs site have announced that their Beta application Nokia Messaging for IM, is no available for Nokia Touch devices starting from today.
Its a full redesign focused on an efficient user experience, you should be able to accomplish key actions with one touch (or just a few).
Nokia Messaging for IM offers a desktop-like IM experience on your Nokia device.  You can stay in contact with your friends across multiple communities at the same time, easily switch between them and customize your status by community.  Highlights include:
  • Chat with your friends on the Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo!® Messenger, Google Talk and Ovi communities.
  • (new!) Easily change your custom status, avatar (picture) and switch between conversations and communities with just a few taps on touch-based devices.
  • (new!) Preview new messages in the Chat home screen widget.  When signed in to multiple communities, the widget will cycle between them.  You can also change your presence within the widget itself.
  • See your friends' avatars and set your own using the camera or an image from your gallery (for Windows Live Messenger (new!), Gtalk (new!) and Ovi communities).

Yes Ther is Possible Fix for Slow iPhone, iPad Backup (Updated)

If your iPhone or iPad is set to sync automatically when you plug it into your computer, you likely noticed it always performs a backup before syncing. Sometimes, the backup takes an extremely long time. We have found a solution that fixes most of the backup issues in iTunes.

The few steps below involve deleting your backup file in iTunes, so we recommend before you do this, make a copy of that backup file.
In iTunes, go into the settings and click on the Devices icon. There you should see your device listed under "Device backups". If you have more than one item listed, make a note of the date and time of the device backup that matches the device you are having trouble with. This will help us know which backup to make a copy of before we start removing files.
If you are using Windows, backup files are located here:
c:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Mac users will find backup files here:
USERNAME\Library\Application Support\MobileSync\Backup
In the backup folder, you will see one or more folders with a ridiculously long name, like 6de624828c9d586e1f088f932798039e57e2af7c. This is the backup file for your device. To determine which folder is the correct backup file for your device, match the date and time of the folder with the date and time you took note of above. Once you are sure you have the correct backup file, copy the folder to your desktop.
Once you have made a copy of the file, return to iTunes, go back into settings and click on the Devices icon again. In the "Devices backups" list, click on the device backup for your device, then click the "Delete Backup" button.
When this is complete, reconnect your device and allow iTunes to make a new backup. The new backup should complete much faster than before. If anything goes wrong, you can move the copy of the file on your desktop back to your backup folder.

iPhone 3G disappears from the Apple Store online

Apple have removed the ability to choose the iPhone 3G from the online store. We expect the iPhone 3GS to replace this at $99 in the next few days, making way for the new iPhone HD on the 7th June.

Coming soon AT&T iPhone HD launch in june 2010

 
Title says it all, but you didn’t really need a confirmation, did you? The phone will be available for purchase in June, not July, and from what we’ve heard, it won’t even be late June.

Garmin-Asus A10 with pedestrian-optimized GPS to European and Asian Android lovers


The new Garmin-Asus A10 is a humble 3.2" HVGA communicator powered by Android OS. It comes with a 1,500mAh battery, a multitouch-friendly WebKit browser, and a 5Mpix AF camera with automatic geotagging. The preloaded Garmin Navigation maps and software provide location info and turn-by-turn voice instructions while the handset is in offline mode. In-car navigation is also obviously fully supported and encouraged. We also know pedestrian-optimizations are included, such as the public transport-aware cityXplorer maps.




You can expect the A10 to hit the European and Asia-Pacific markets in mid-2010.
You ain't nobody if you don't have an Android handset (or two) these days, and Garmin-Asus has just added the A10 to its own stable of devices. It's a pretty humble 3.2-inch H VGA communicator, but it has a healthy 1,500mAh battery, a multi touch-friendly Web Kit browser, and an auto focusing 5 megapixel camera with automatic geotagging. Coming with preloaded Garmin Navigation maps and software, the A10 eliminates the need for a web connection when looking up your local topography, and similarly retains turn-by-turn voice instructions while used offline. It's not altogether clear what the pedestrian optimizations are, aside from the public transport-aware city Xplorer maps, but in-car navigation is also obviously fully supported and encouraged. We're told to expect the A10 in mid-2010 for European and Asia-Pacific markets. Full PR after the break.
