From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The BlackBerry is a wireless handheld device introduced in 1999 which supports push e-mail, mobile telephone, text messaging, internet faxing, web browsing and other wireless information services. Developed by the Canadian company Research In Motion (RIM), it delivers information over the wireless data networks of mobile phone service companies. BlackBerry first made headway in the marketplace by concentrating on e-mail. RIM currently offers BlackBerry e-mail service to non-BlackBerry devices, such as the Palm Treo, through the BlackBerry Connect software. The original BlackBerry device had a monochrome display, but all prevalent models have color displays.
While including the usual PDA applications (address book, calendar, to-do lists, etc.) as well as telephone capabilities on newer models, the BlackBerry is primarily known for its ability to send and receive e-mail wherever it can access an atmosphere wireless network of certain cellular phone carriers. It has a built-in keyboard, optimized for "thumbing", the use of only the thumbs to type. System navigation is primarily accomplished by the trackwheel (or "thumbwheel"), a scrolling wheel with a "click" function, located on the right side of the device. Some models (currently, those manufactured for use with Nextel, TELUS, and other iDEN networks) also incorporate a two-way radio. Some BlackBerry devices don't depend on mobile phone service coverage and are Wi-Fi compatible like similar handheld devices that are on the marketplace.

The Future of Wireless Broadband - 3G, 4G, WiMAX.. Who Knows
WiMAX, LTE, UMB, Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, EV-DO, HSDPA, UTMS, MIMO, 3GPPP, OFDM, CDMA… How do we keep up with it all?
The number of different technologies, standards, companies going after the wireless Holy Grail of ubiquitous broadband will make your head spin. At WiMax.com we will do what we can to keep everyone informed on how WiMAX will fit into this alphabet soup of standards and technologies, but it won't be easy.
For example, last week I read an interesting article on how 3G is now available in every country of the world. To me that is truly amazing. I am still trying to figure out what exactly is 3G and why I would need to upgrade. In my home town of Austin, TX, I see my service provider advertising their 3G/Broadband service, but for some reason I still haven't upgraded. I am in the wireless business with a high-demand for an always-on high-speed service, but for some reason I still search daily for Wi-Fi hotspots to connect to the Internet. If I am not upgrading to 3G, I am sure others aren't upgrading as well.
So if 3G can do all these amazing things then why do we need 4G, WIMAX, UMB, LTE and all these other future technologies and acronyms? The reason is because the Internet is unleashing a flood of new bandwidth intensive applications that will tax all the wireless carriers' network capacity. Old networks have to be upgraded and optimized, new networks have to be built from the ground up to handle this new flood of applications. At the same time service providers will still need to offer good quality voice service or run the risk of losing customers to other providers. Over the next decade, new wireless technologies, ecosystems, business models and companies will be developed. Some will succeed, many will fail. Over time, the market will weed out the good from bad.....it always does.

iPod For Now
Now that you can buy movies from the iTunes Store and sync them to your iPod, the whole world is your theater. With a 30GB or 80GB iPod in hand, those movies fit comfortably next to TV shows, new iPod games, podcasts, audiobooks, photo albums, and, of course, an entire library of music — up to 20,000 songs, in fact. Now starting at $249, iPod is a pocket-size prodigy.
Watch this space
How much can your pocket hold? That’s up to you and your iPod. It holds up to 20,000 songs, up to 25,000 photos, and up to 100 hours of video — or any combination of each.1 So you can browse movies on the iTunes Store, download the ones you want (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, perhaps?), then sync it to your iPod. Same goes for TV episodes, new iPod games, 99¢ songs, best-selling audiobooks, and an entire universe of free podcasts, including captivating tours to zoos, museums, and French chateaus. Go ahead. Fill ’er up.
Suit yourself
From cases to car kits, customize your iPod with accessories made especially for it. Pick up an iPod Universal Dock for more convenient syncing. Add an iPod Hi-Fi for room-filling sound. Sync photos on the go with an iPod Camera Connector. Attach a voice recorder to take audio notes. And if you buy from the Apple Store online, you can even have your iPod engraved with your name or a message.

Xandros Desktop Professional [Review]
"With an interface that is quite similar to classic Windows, along with utilities that target Windows migrations, Xandros Desktop Professional is a good choice for a productivity desktop and can rival more popular distributions, although bugged from design inconsistencies and a strict licensing structure.
"If you have used other Linux distributions like Ubuntu or OpenSuSE, when booting up Xandros Desktop Professional for the first time, you can't help but feel unimpressed by the overall packaging of the product..."

FreeBSD LATEST RELEASES
The FreeBSD Project received over 120 applications for Google's Summer of Code program, amongst which 25 were selected for funding. Unfortunately, there were far more first rate applications than available spots for students. However, we encourage students to work together with us all year round. The FreeBSD Project is always willing to help mentor students learn more about operating system development through our normal community mailing lists and development forums. Contributing to an open source software project is a valuable component of a computer science education and great preparation for a career in software development.
A complete list of the winning students and projects is available here. A Summer of Code wiki is also available with additional information.

About FreeBSD
What is FreeBSD?
FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible (including Pentium® and Athlon™), amd64 compatible (including Opteron™, Athlon™64, and EM64T), ARM, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC® architectures. It is derived from BSD, the version of UNIX® developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It is developed and maintained by a large team of individuals. Additional platforms are in various stages of development.
Cutting edge features
FreeBSD offers advanced networking, performance, security and compatibility features today which are still missing in other operating systems, even some of the best commercial ones.
Powerful Internet solutions
FreeBSD makes an ideal Internet or Intranet server. It provides robust network services under the heaviest loads and uses memory efficiently to maintain good response times for thousands of simultaneous user processes.
