pThe BlackBerry Storm OS problems have widely been discussed. The pressure on RIM is high to release a new software update for the BlackBerry Storm as soon as possibly. Now a new BlackBerry Storm firmware update has been leaked unofficially on the web. A.../pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/I4UNews?a=UTb61vqq"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/I4UNews?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/I4UNews?a=6qHul2ZZ"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/I4UNews?i=6qHul2ZZ" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/I4UNews?a=IjThBO2Q"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/I4UNews?i=IjThBO2Q" border="0"/img/a /div

Okay, remember that bit about waiting for a wide release? Yeah, screw that noise. Firmware 4.7.0.75 for the BlackBerry Storm has drizzled out onto the interwebs, and initial reports from intrepid updaters seem to be generally positive. We can't verify the authenticity of this sucker, but if you were counting down the minutes until RIM got around to patching up issues and killing some lag, 75 might be a good start. Good luck, friends.

[Thanks, Erik]

We’re all iPhone and Blackberry addicts at Mashable HQ, and yet Nokia’s latest launch is so slick that it makes our handsets feel a little impersonal.

Nokia has debuted, in beta, a Flash application called Nokia Build. The pitch: remix your phone. You can design a 100% original Nokia 7310 Supernova cover using simple drawing tools and a library of themes and iconography. Then, have it delivered to your door.

Much like NikeID - the site to design your own custom sneakers - this beta launch is a sign that mass personalization is here to stay.

Unfortunately for our US readers, this is one great web app that didn’t debut stateside first: this is the UK launch of Nokia Build, which originally debuted in France. It’s safe to assume, however, that a wider rollout (more countries and a wider selection of handsets) will proceed if the service is a success.

Commandos were not only surprised to find the devices in the terrorists' rucksacks, but that they used the internet to look beyond local Indian media for information, watching the global reaction in real-time as well./p pIt's somewhat striking that the terrorists' use of BlackBerrys "caught the anti-terrorist forces by surprise." While perhaps another step forward in the sophistication of their organization, in that it it makes communication more instant than ever, it's long been reported that terrorist networks use the internet and cellphones for communication. Why wouldn't they use the same tools that millions around the world use? They don't all live in caves, you know./p pThat said, it doesn't make it any less scary, either.

Le Storm marque un virage pour RIM car il s’agit du premier modèle du constructeur équipé d’un écran tactile et dénué de clavier mécanique. Il s’agit d’un téléphone quadriband EDGE/HSDPA/3G/3G+, disposant d’un écran 65k couleur de 3,25″ d’une définition de 480×360 en 184 dp, d’un GPS, d’un accéléromètre, d’un APN de 3,2MPx, d’une mémoire de 1Go extensible via un slot microSDHC, du Bluetooth 2.0, d’une prise jack 3,5mm et d’une compatibilité MP3, AAC, WMA, flash, MPEG4, H.264, WMV. USB 2.0, son poids est de 155g, son autonomie est de 5,5h en conversation et 15j en veille ! Il sera disponible dans quelques jours chez Vodafone aux US.

In the U.S. and Europe, web surfers are leaning forward, one hand on the mouse and the other on the keyboard, typing and mousing equally. In China, however, the process is much different. Web surfers there tend to lean back from the monitor while keeping one hand on the mouse, the other hand dangling. The keyboard is used much less frequently as much of the navigation is done with clicks instead./p pa href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/youtube_more_to_love.php"strongYouTube: More to Love/strong/a/p pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/imgYouTube.jpg" alt="YouTube" width="150" height="71" align="left" /As the prices of professional quality video equipment continue to drop and the number of people with high-speed internet connections continues to increase, online video sites have been scrambling to keep up with their users' desires to deliver higher quality content to their viewers. /p pa href="http://www.youtube.com/"YouTube/a is no different.

Le débat autour du phénomène ” Netbooks”, les nouveaux mini ordinateurs portables, commence à s’envenimer. Cette catégorie de “laptops” existe depuis environ un an et l’on annonce prés de 5 millions de ventes pour 2008.

Une estimation anticipe même sur 50 millions d’unités vendues par l’année 2012.

Nous en avons pu en essayer quelques uns et il faut avouer que la réalité n’est pas la hauteur des promesses. Intel d’ailleurs réétudie le concept.

Un Netbook typique possède un écran de 7 inches, un processeur Intel Atom ou Via Nano, un disque dur et un clavier de 80% la taille d’un clavier standard. La plupart sont équipés WiFi et certains offrent des petits plus comme Bluetooth ou une webcam.

Les Netbooks sont dans l’ensemble peu satisfaisants pour trois raisons principales: Pas assez de puissance, écran trop petit pour le web et clavier inconfortable.

Pas assez de chevaux dans le moteur

Netbook utilise Intel Celeron, Intel Atom, ou Via Nano CPUs. Certains ont jusqu’à 1GB de mémoire et les plus simples offrent 256 MB. La plupart des ces machines fonctionnent sous Windows XP ou Vista. Quelques uns sont sous Linux. Si vous avez plusieurs applications ouvertes en même temps avec votre email ou plusieurs onglets sur votre navigateur, la machine est considérablement au ralenti. Sur un netbook équipé Vista, les crashs sont très fréquents. Impossible de comparer avec la puissance d’un “dual core Laptop”; ceux qui y sont habitués seront déçus rapidement.

Et puis l’écran

Ces Netbooks ont des écrans à partir de 7 inches. Le pire est que la résolution verticale est de 600 pixels. Et même si votre barre d’outils est dépouillée d’extensions au strict minimum, il reste peu de place pour le contenu à la verticale. Voici, ci-dessous, le maximum affiché:

Il faut en permanence descendre et “scroller”vers le bas. Et à la différence du iPhone, où l’on utilise rapidement ses doigts pour se déplacer, il faut utiliser la souris et c’est particulièrement ennuyeux de le faire en permanence sur chaque site visité

Le iPhone possède une résolution verticale de 480 pixels et vous pouvez re-dimensionner le texte. L’image ci-dessus présente 8 lignes de texte (sans le titre). Sur l’iPhone on peut en voir 22.

En d’autres termes, l’iPhone ou l’iPod présentent une meilleure expérience utilisateur pour surfer qu’un Netbook.

Le Clavier

Le clavier est trop petit; 80% de la taille normale; impossible de taper rapidement sans se tromper de lettres; un peu comme sur un smartphone Blackberry par exemple; guère mieux en fait, si l’on veut être précis et rapide.

Convergence entre Mobiles et laptops

Il existe un véritable fossé entre le marché des mobiles et celui des ordinateurs portables. Mais ces Netbooks ne semblent pas constituer la solution. De plus, certains Netbooks ne sont qu’à peine moins chers que certains Laptops bas de gamme.

Le problème est que les Netbooks tentent de répondre à la demande de deux marchés en même temps: celui des pays émergeants où ce qui compte avant tout c’est le prix réduit au minimum, et le marché des autres pays développés qui cherche un deuxième ordinateur familial ou pour le travail. Les marchés émergeant se moquent de la taille; pourquoi ne pas alors leur offrir quelque chose de plus grands au même prix (à part l’écran, les éléments ne sont pas plus chers pour un appareil plus grand). Quant aux marchés dits développés, ce qui compte c’est la performance et là, les Netbooks arrondissent par trop les angles. C’est peut être la raison pour laquelle on assiste à l’arrivée de Netbooks avec des écrans de 10-11 inches. Ce qui petit à petit, les rend identiques aux portables classiques.

Quelle est donc la recette miracle? Nous avons notre idée. Concentrer ses efforts sur l’expérience de navigation sur le web, quitte à perdre un peu de puissance pour le système d’exploitation (la puissance” hardware” d’un mobile sufffirait) et offrir des écrans satisfaisants, tactiles ou avec un clavier, le tout bon marché. C’est cela nous semble-t-il ce que cherchent les utilisateurs.

Et vous quelle est votre expérience?
