BlackBerry Storm 9500: The Iphone Killer?

The new BlackBerry Storm is the latest mobile phone from BlackBerry and the Storm is also BlackBerry's first touchscreen mobile phone. The Storm, with its slick candy bar style looks is also one of the best looking BlackBerry's and is most definitely not eye diarrhoea to look at.

The term "iPhone killer" is clumsily tossed around by bloggers and journos to describe almost any phone with a touchscreen, but by trying to actually innovate rather than imitate, RIM has conjured up the phone most deserving of the title yet. The BlackBerry Storm features a fantastic high-resolution screen and an incredibly innovative multi-touch UI. The Storm's touchscreen features what BlackBerry call ClickThrough, what this means is that you have to press down until you hear a click for it to work. So in reality, the BlackBerry Storm's screen is just one big button, cool!

The Clickthrough, changes the way you type in data into the phone. So you have to push the touchscreen like a button every time you do something. Typing with it takes some getting used to, even if you can fly on an iPhone or other touchscreen device, because you have to retrain yourself to actually lift your thumb back off of the screen to let it pop back up between every single letter. Since you can't "flow" continuously in a stream but are pounding out a series of clicks, it's hard to tell how fast you would be able to go once you're completely re-trained.

Other features of the BlackBerry Storm include a built-in GPS system, media player, 3.2MP camera, BlackBerry maps, a 3.5mm audio jack and a memory capacity that can go up to 16GB. One thing that is for sure is that the BlackBerry Storm is a media and entertainment friendly mobile phone.

Talking about the internet access the BlackBerry Storm has, EDGE, GPRS and HSDPA for super fast internet so you can get quick, no fuss access to site such as MySpace, Bebo and Facebook as well as all important fast Email access.

Though mot really an "Iphone Killer", Blackberry Storm is unquestionably a high quality mobile phone and is great value for money.

SanDisk Sansa slot Mp3 Player

The latest release from SanDisk - The Sansa slot music player is a unique music player. SanDisk has made its come back in the MP3 player game with its latest offering, the Sansa slotMusic player. The uniqueness of the player is in the manner it stores the music. Unlike other mp3 players which have an inbuilt storage space, SanDisk Sansa mp3 player comes with micro SD cards. The slotMusic Player plays microSD cards which you can fill yourself or you can purchase with DRM-free albums pre-loaded. Thereby, the Sansa slotMusic player does not require a computer in order to transfer music. You can just purchase the slotMusic albums on MicroSD cards, pop them into the player and away you go.It is a unique idea that combines the old-fashioned “buying a record or CD” with the new iPod-like way of listening to music.

The player is cigarette lighter sized, with a plastic cover and aluminum body. On the long edge, you find the Play/Pause button (which doubles as a power toggle button when held down for several seconds), flanked by next and previous track buttons. A small status LED is also located on this side of the player. On the top, you’ll find the volume adjustment buttons and a standard sized stereo earbud jack. The fact that the player uses a single AAA battery is remarkable. So you can just buy a pair of rechargable batteries and swap them out as needed after about 15 hours of playback without worrying about having to buy an expensive proprietary battery.

When it comes to performance, the player performs the same as other music players out there. The buttons are easy to press and have good tactile feedback. The only “problem” with this player should be obvious - it doesn’t have a display… That may or may not be a concern for some people. The other issue is that there isn’t a way to shuffle the music or find a specific track. For that fact, if you copy more music to the card, you have to use the prev and next tracks to find specific songs.

Sansa is finally making some good moves in a tough music player market. The player is a real revolution in the mp3 player world and is a twist in the mp3 player game. Europe and the rest of the world will have to wait until 2009 to see a shadow of the slotMusic Player.
