BlackBerry Storm 2 images leaked

The folks at CrackBerry.com have scored images of the BlackBerry Storm 2, RIM's next touchscreen device after the original Storm. From the photos, the Storm 2 looks very much like the original with a large LCD on the front and the same 3.2-megapixel camera and metal battery cover around the back. The device does appear to be a little slimmer and the physical buttons that are below the screen on the Storm now look as if they are part of the panel for the sequel.

An earlier story from Boy Genius Report suggested that the new Storm will finally come with Wi-Fi connectivity, and instead of the SurePress screen technology (where the entire screen is depressed for tactile feedback) it will sport something new called TruePress. We'll see how these rumors pan out in the coming months. Click to see one more image of the back.

Expect at least two more HTC Android handhelds this year

Damian Koh | May 14, 2009

HTC Magic and HTC Dream

There's news straight from the horse's mouth. At today's launch of the HTC Magic in Singapore, executive vice president Jason Juang told CNET Asia in an aside that the company will be releasing at least two more Android smartphones by the end of this year. He remained coy when pressed for more details. HTC's no longer alone in the Android party as Samsung has recently announced its first Android offering, the I7500. We'll continue to keep you updated. Meanwhile, check out our hands-on pictures of the Magic, or if motion images are your kind of thing, click to a First Looks video here.

Ever since the HTC Magic was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in February, we've been waiting for availability and pricing information for Asia. Now we have it. The Magic will be shipping to Singapore early June at S$1,048 (US$758.93) without contract. But unlike the Dream, the Magic will not be exclusive to a particular telco operator. The retail package will also be bundled with a 2GB microSD card.

Following Singapore, the Magic is expected to head to Hong Kong next week and to Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam by end of Q2. For now, check out our hands-on impressions of the Magic to whet your gadget appetite.

iClarified reports that a forum user on a Chinese-language board, WeiPhone, posted what is claimed to be a screenshot from a new, never released or announced iPhone. Allegedly, the poster has a friend working at the Foxconn iPhone factory who gave the poster access to the new iPhone.

The posted image shows the iPhone model number, MB717LL, which contains a whopping 32GB of memory and the following specifications:

256MB RAM (doubled from the original 128MB) for the Mobile version of OS X

Faster 600Mhz CPU (versus the current 400Mhz)

Real digital compass and FM radio

3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus

32GB memory for media, app, and data storage

Additionally, the post explains that the new iPhone's dimensions will largely remain the same as the current iPhone 3G, and that the battery will be the same.

Now you can indulge this puppy love whenever you want, wherever you want, with the potential of seeing an unlimited number of puppies, as long as you have an iPhone.

TheDailyPuppy.com, a Web site that dog enthusiasts have no doubt been using as their home page, announced Wednesday the availability of its application for the iPhone. Now you can get puppies delivered to you via just a few touches of the finger--and you can shake the phone to get even more puppy pictures.

The Daily Puppy app features a new puppy every day, fully stocked with biographies and additional images. Users then can add the puppy to their favorites library and share them with friends, family, and fellow puppyphiles via email and Facebook.
