| Microsoft Giving Away Free Windows 7 On October 16, 2010, free WP7 devices to AT&T staff Posted: 16 Oct 2010 05:08 AM PDT It seems that Microsoft and Facebook integration goes much deeper than Bing search engine. Following their one day special “I’m a PC”, where the company offered 50% off list price on all computers if you purchased Windows 7 Family Pack – the company is doing a “one up”.According to a post on Facebook, Microsoft Store will give away free copies of Windows 7 Home Premium to all visitors of their stores in Lone Tree [Colorado], Scottsdale [Arizona], Mission Viejo and San Diego in California.
Only thing you would need to do besides bringing your computer – is to say “Windows 7 was My Idea”. A neat part would be to start with “I come from this and that place that city and state and Windows 7 was My Idea.” Just to see how the store clerks will react.This offer is one day only, on Saturday October 16, 2010 i.e today only.(Thanks Brightsideofnews)
Not only there was this mention before that Microsoft would be dishing out WP7 devices to its staff and interns, and now word is out that the software giant is also giving AT&T workers free WP7 devices to spur acceptance. An employee has claimed that about 100 devices were given out to those attending an event in Minneapolis, though it wasn’t confirmed if it was a US-wide policy. It wasn’t mentioned which specific phone among the many WP7 devices were given, but with the Samsung Focus being the first to ship, its assumed that the lucky workers received said phone. Such a move isn’t new as Apple gave free 8GB iPhones to all of its full-time workers back in June 2007 when the iPhone was first launched, both as a reward for their work and to familiarize them with the platform.How cool is that !

| 5 Best Non Touchscreen mobile phones Posted: 16 Oct 2010 04:35 AM PDT These are the days of smart phones and most of them come with a touchscreen and is hard to find one without a touchscreen. However, there are a few good ones that come with a full QWERTY keyboards, and are non touchscreen mobile phones, which have been rated as the best smart phones and business phones. A sneak into 5 of the affordable and featured phones by reviewers are: BlackBerry Curve 8900: The phone has been complemented for the sharp and clear display, Wi-Fi, GPS and QWERTY keypad. However, what is not good about this phone is the absence of 3G. This is the phone that you will need for emailing and instant messaging efficiently on a slim and pleasant phone. However, the phone does come for a price that is bit expensive.
Nokia E72: This phone comes with an excellent build and quality that has an impressive keypad with improved camera and is highly responsive. The battery life is quite extensive and has a 3.5 mm audio port. The optical navi-pad is quite annoying with the S60 platform that this will feel quite outdated. Business users who are quite competent and who are looking for a no nonsense smartphone will like the E72 for great breadth of features and stylish design.
Nokia N86: This is one of the best launches from Nokia, Nokia N86, which has a 8 mp camera and is been rated as the best non-touchscreen smartphone. However, do not come for a price that not many can afford, but is worth the money paid. This is a dual slide design with rounded corners and measures about 103.4 mm × 51.4 mm × 16.5 mm and has a display of 16 million colors. They can play for nearly 25 hours and has a compatible Nokia Bluetooth stereo headset BH-214, with a camera that has options for wide-angle and high-speed shutter. The OLED screen has a handset that is scratch resistant with hardened glass and comes with easy photo management, full sync capability for PC and TV. This is also a good gaming phone.
BlackBerry Curve 8520: The responsive optical track pad and a dedicated media controls with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 2 MP cameras and a good call quality are some of the plus points that makes this to be nominates as one of the best non touchscreen smart phones. What is not so good about these phones is that they lack support for 3G and GPS that comes with downloadable apps that can be saved onto the phone's main memory only. The clitches for this phone is that this is one of the sleek entry-level smartphone delivering some of the nice designs and enhancements with a great performance.
BlackBerry Bold 9700: This is a sleek design that when compared with earlier design will include a track pad has a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a brilliant display. The 3G capability, Wi-Fi with UMA support, Bluetooth and GPS are some of the features running on a faster processor and can be updated to BlackBerry OS 5.0 with a much compact size keyboard and a display that is nor a deal breaker. This is a much sleeker and slim design and is more efficient than their predecessor.

| Adobe Flash Crosses 1million Downloads Over Android Market Posted: 15 Oct 2010 11:28 PM PDT Adobe Flash player 10.1 just crossed 1million downloads over android market.This is just after 2 months of it’s launch over the android platform as reported by Neowin. Though Currently only those devices which run on Androids Froyo version(Android 2.2) can use the Adobe Flash on their Android devices and there were some issues with this build of flash for android devices like the battery life deterioration and some sites crashing problems but altogether it seems that it’s getting into the masses and i guess it’ll only be a matter of time when they’ll come up with the updates to nullify these problems. Adobe is taking android platform quite seriously ,it was a few days ago that it released Adobe Air for Android platform.With Windows Phone 7 launch we can also expect Adobe to bring the much awaited Flash support to Windows Phone 7 as early as possible.

| New Macbook Air to be 11.6 inches and may have flash based instant wake functionality Posted: 15 Oct 2010 11:07 PM PDT There were rumors spreading about the new Macbook Air screen size being 11.6 but AppleInsider says it’s confirmed a smaller version of Apple’s ultraportable is coming at next week’s “Back to the Mac” event, and that units are rolling off factory lines right now in preparation for near-immediate delivery. AI also says it’s been told that the revised machine will feature a novel new storage system called “SSD Card” that looks like a stick of RAM — a smaller form factor that would obviously allow the new Air to be even smaller, and possibly sport instant-on wake times, something that’s been rumored from other sources this week as well.
CNET’s is reporting that the price would be “significantly lower” price than the current model’s $1,499 starting point, which is always fun to hear — the catch is that it might still use an older Intel Core 2 Duo chip and NVIDIA chipset.Note sure on it though.
