If Apple still sells like hotcakes its iPod (almost 10 million per quarter) and Mac (nearly 2.5 million per quarter), another product should now inflate the excellent financial results of the company: the iPhone. 5.2 million units were sold between April and June 2009.

We finally go in the era of electronic book? If these devices are still expensive, going out in recent years the Sony Reader and Amazon Kindle have made the first step, especially by offering directly to consumers the availability of hundreds of thousands of titles on platforms.

Craiglist, the lists of popular sites so far available only in English, will be launched in French, Italian, Portuguese and German.
Craiglist dominates the U.S. market for classified ads with nearly 27 million unique visitors per month. This figure contrasts with that of its competitors, such as Kijiji, which is owned by eBay, which has 2.3 million unique visitors each month. The decision to launch local versions is given by the damage it was doing the only version in the global marketplace where Kijiji is a serious competitor (more than in United States).

The information comes from the site “My Digital Life” which shows how much has been made a priori. Everything would be from a disk image to the OEM Lenovo. These images designed for the OEM have in particular that they want a certificate that prevents the user to activate their Windows. It was therefore necessary to modify the disk image to make him believe “that she was well on a machine from Lenovo.

After having seen the unboxing of the Nokia N97 and the Touch Pro by HTC II, we compare those who – in our opinion – are the touchscreen smartphone with QWERTY slide that you play the market in their own.
The first experiment is the second of Nokia in the field of tactile displays and is innovative on-screen widgets active and updated in real time via the Internet. The second, however, is the successor is a lucky number of smartphones with QWERTY drawn from Tytn, achieves a great success with the Tytn II, decreases slightly with the Touch Pro and it takes great with the Touch Pro II.

Waiting for video comparison, what do you think? Do you have any questions or anything you would like to compare?
