iBall Slide tablet User Interface video

The ball Slide tablet is in the house and we have to admit it is one of the best so far in terms of responsiveness and UI speed.

Here is a small video demonstrating how smoothly the tablet works.

 

BlackBerry Bold 9900 Hands On – Video

Here is a nice 6 minute video of the BlackBerry Bold 9900 which was launched today at BlackBerry World . We take a look at the hardware ,  UI and other interesting aspects of the latest Blackberry device. This handset is powered by a 1.2 GHz processor and runs on OS7. I personally prefer this form-factor compared to the Torch which has a slider keyboard.

The 9900 can capture and play 720p HD video with its 5MP camera.This device was really fast at most tasks and BlackBerry loyalists are surely going to love this new handset.

Here are  some photos of the device

Leaked ROM for new BlackBerry Curve packs OS 7 video tutorials

A ROM image for the BlackBerry Curve 9350/9370 (a.k.a Sedona/Apollo) has leaked with the non-touch BlackBerry OS 7 inside. Four video tutorials were found inside, which give us another taste of the new interface, which is yet to hit the market.

Since OS 7 isn't compatible with older devices, the leaked ROM can?t be installed on any current BlackBerry device. We?ll have to wait for the Curve 9350/Curve 9370 (those are Sedona and Apollo respectively) to come out to see how the new OS handles without a touchscreen.

Note that the only BlackBerry OS 7 devices that are currently official use the touchscreen/portrait QWERTY combo, so their UI and the one on the Curve isn't the same.

Three video tutorials (at the bottom of this article) were extracted from the ROM (they were intended as on-device tutorials). They show how to use the OS with the optical trackpad and the QWERTY keyboard. There?s a fourth video that shows how to insert SIM and microSD cards but we?ll skip that as it?s hardly interesting.

The ROM is for the T-Mobile version of the BlackBerry Curve, though other versions shouldn?t be very different.

There used to be similar video tutorials from the BlackBerry Bold Touch 9930 (back from when BB OS 7 was still called OS 6.1) but those are long gone now.

Nokia N9 video ad leaks, teases with 12MP camera

A leaked teaser video that we just found shows a bunch of interesting details about the unreleased, unannounced Nokia N9 smartphone. Unfortunately, the fast-paced teaser leaves more questions than answers.

Nokia N9 as leaked before ? promo video shows the same hardware

The Nokia N9 was always rumored as running whatever version of MeeGo is latest, but this video kinda suggests the user interface will be heavily influenced by Symbian Anna.

The Nokia N9 UI ? the 12MP camera lens

The 12MP camera on the other hand is not something new, as it's been present in previous leaks. But yes, this is the first time we get to see it confirmed semi-officially. We also see that it's got a 28mm wide-angle Carl Zeiss lens and an aperture of F2.8, so it sounds a lot like the unit we've seen in the N8. It's only not as bulging as on the N8. And it has a dual LED flash, not a xenon unit as the N8.

It was only recently that we saw a mention of the N9 in some FCC files, so the announcement might as well be just around the corner. Or not! We're yet to see about that.
