The iPhone HD/4G is not the only mobile device that’s getting the rumour mill buzzing nowadays.
Apparently there has been rumours that Blackberry is working on a new device with a clamshell form factor and solid first photos of this rumoured device is now surfacing on the Internet.
Dubbed the 9670, this new species of Blackberry is probably the first full QWERTY flip-phone in the company’s stable. Essential specs include 5MP camera, WiFi, a 360×480 internal display and a reported huge external display. All pretty standard stuff, except for the fact that the proto device is running the new Blackberry OS 6.0.
We don’t know about you guys, but a clamshell Blackberry just seems weird. What do you think?

The story goes a little bit like this…the victim was sent to run an errand, to go to the nearest Apple store to purchase an iPad as a business gift for someone else.
He purchased the iPad and went on his merry way. Just outside the Apple store from which he bought the iPad, thieves were already waiting to snatch it away from him. They tried to snatch the iPad from his hand but the strings of the paperbag containing the device got caught around his pinky. The thugs were so determined to get the iPad that they yanked the paperbag so hard it ripped the flesh, muscle and tendon of the victim’s finger.
His finger had to be amputated.
“the iPad, it’s a toy, I don’t even know what it was”, says the victim who counldn’t understand what’s the fuss is all about with the iPad.

Is it just us or did DiGi’s CEO Johan Dennelind just hinted that DiGi will be bringing in the new iPhone?
Johan was quoted saying in a StarBiz report earlier this month that DiGi’s a key partner with Apple and expects to be treated as such. He also said that DiGi customers expect the latest too.
We got news for you Johan, all of us expect the latest. So get cracking on bringing in the iPhone HD/4G to Malaysia ASAP!

Let it be known to all that we’re really not a fan of Foursquare.
Ok, maybe blaming the game is not right…actually, we’re really annoyed with the check-in cheaters on Foursquare.
Now that’s out of the system…we spotted this posting on what appears to be the first legit mayor deal on Foursquare.
That’s not really the surprise, the real surprise here is that the establishment offering the deal is probably the last vendor you’d expect to use social media to promote thier business. Indeed, they are not your normal run-of-the-mill, social media friendly establishements like Starbucks or something along those lines.
Kudos to @sseme, the creator of the mayor deal. But we still hate all you check-in cheaters out there. Shame on you!
