Let's face it – BlackBerrys are arguably the best email smartphone around, but they're boring. RIM's latest attempt to spice up its iconic device is the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, officially the BlackBerry 8220. Its new populist clamshell form factor is either a logical evolutionary step forward for BlackBerry, or an ergonomic anarchronistic step backward in the age of iPhone and Android.
Like most flip phones, the quad band EDGE Pearl 8220, coming soon from T-Mobile, has two screens, one inside, one outside, and you can preview incoming emails on the 128 x 160-pixel external screen. Physically, the Flip measures 3.9 x 1.9 x 0.7 inches and weighs a surprisingly light 3.6 ounces.
Flip features the full array of BlackBerry business attributes, such as WiFi connectivity, Speaker Independent Voice Recognition (SIVR) for voice dialing, voicemail attachment playback, and the DataViz Documents to Go app for reading and editing Microsoft Office documents, and of course all of BlackBerry.
Fun functions on the Flip include a 2 MP camera, a music player with an iTunes sync application and Roxio Media Manager software, MP3 ringtones, stereo Bluetooth, and a microSD memory card slot that can support up to 16 GB of memory.

Touch the Touch Pro
The Android-powered T-Mobile G1 may be getting all the ink (even here), but Taiwanese phone maker HTC makes other phones. Coming to a Sprint store near you on October 19, three days before the G1, is HTC's Touch Pro ($299.99 with a two-year contract), the third of its Touch-series touchscreen phones.
The Pro is an expanded version of the recent HTC Touch Diamond. Both share a 2.8-inch touchscreen, a 3.2 MP camera with auto focus and a flash, an Opera Web browser, WiFi connectivity, a direct link to YouTube, GPS, a sensor that shifts the screen image from portrait to landscape and vice versa simply by tilting the phone, access to Sprint's streaming TV services, and both text and email capabilities. Both also employ HTC's TouchFLO 3D pan-and-zoom touch navigation control.
But this Touch is a professional model, which means it packs more business-specific applications, including the ability to read and edit Microsoft Office documents. Physically, the Pro adds a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a microSD card slot (a 1 GB card is included), and a business card scanner application.

Hot young Jewish comedian Sarah Silverman has created another web sensation, using her 'way with words' to create laughs and influence minds. Silverman is known for playing with racism and mocking the very idea of being offended. With cutesy and unapologetic delivery, she delivers non sugar coated statements that reflect common stereotypes in modern culture. The very point of Silverman's offensive statements is their honest reflection of how many people feel, as she creates a mockery of these ideas.
Silverman balances satire with a serious political message in her latest web video, The Great Schlep, where she mixes her trademark offensive humor with an actual message. Silverman urges young Jewish Obama supporters to travel to Florida where many Jewish grandparents live, so that the grandkids can urge their grandparents to vote for Obama.
Clever kids these days ...

Lindsay Lohan and Clay Aiken: We're Gay
It's not often that 2 recording stars come out of the closet in the same day, but both Lindsay Lohan and Clay Aiken have finally declared their gayness once and for all!
Lindsay Lohan has had a very public relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson for months now. Samantha is the sister of Mark Ronson, who is a famous musician and music producer.
Clay Aiken (Sometimes misspelled Clay Akin) finally admitted that he was gay in a recent article for People Magazine, where he also shared pictures of his new baby son. He had a baby with American Idol producer Jaymes Foster.

The press got a gander at the long-awaited G1, the first cellphone to use the Google-developed open source Android operating system, earlier this week. Android is an operating system, like Windows and Mac OS X (and somewhat like iPhone) for cellphones, which means anyone can develop applications for it. The G1, the first in what is likely a large number of future Android-powered devices, will be available from T-Mobile on October 22 for $179 with a two-year contract plus service plan.
So how does G1
compare with iPhone and the other iPhone clones, and how does Android compare with the iPhone software? There are some minor differences, pro and con, but they operate similarly with similar functionality.Physically, the G1 more resembles a Sidekick, with a slide-up 3.2-inch touch screen (iPhone has a 3.5-inch LCD) that reveals a QWERTY keyboard beneath (iPhone has no physical QWERTY). G1 is a bit shorter but thicker than iPhone, but has minimal built-in memory compared to iPhone's 8 GB and 16 GB models; the G1 has a microSD slot and will come pre-loaded with a 1 GB card. Instead of a 3.5mm headphone jack, the G1 has a multi-use HTC miniUSB jack. The G1 has a 3 MP camera (iPhone has a 2 GB imager), but like iPhone, offers no zoom or video recording. Both have an accelerometer, but G1 only automatically rotates the on-screen image from portrait-to-landscape and vice versa in its mapping mode. Both offer finger-flick scrolling through lists, but G1 lacks iPhone's multi-touch control.
G1 provides hard-button control and navigation control options missing on iPhone. Aside from the usual physical "send" and "end" keys, there's Home and "back" buttons and a Menu key that pops-up different options depending on what function or application you're in. There's also a nipple track ball, ala BlackBerry.
Android presents a clean, clutter-free and intuitive interface and easy navigation. Included is GPS with "live" street-level views but no voice-prompted directions (lacking in iPhone but present in Samsung's Instinct from Sprint), push Gmail along with POP3 and IMAP email but no Microsoft Exchange, multimedia messaging (lacking in iPhone), and a music player that supports MP3, non-DRM AAC and WMA (iPhone supports just MP3 and AAC).
But there is no corresponding iTunes-like desktop syncing software to coordinate the transfer of all your content – music, photos, et al – between your PC and your phone. And right now, Android is Windows-only. The G1 will be available in black (pictured), brown and white (pictured).
The theory is that developers will write programs to fulfill any void in Android's basic operations and, because Andoid is an operating system, it can be upgraded. But whether or not the G1 is "better" than the iPhone, or the Samsung Instinct from Sprint of the LG Voyager from Verizon, is a question that can be better addressed once the G1 is actually in people's hands.
Finally, the G1 operates on T-Mobile's limited 3G HSDPA network, available in 16 markets right now, growing to 22 markets by launch and 27 by mid-November, compared to the more than 300 AT&T 3G markets iPhone has access to.

Heavy Hitting Rock
For the first time ever, Led Zeppelin and Metallica have released their ringtones -and Thumbplay has them all. This is major news for all of us Rock fans, as it's been a long wait to finally get these songs available as tones.Metallica's new single "The Day That Never Comes" rocks as loud and hard as some of their classics like "Enter Sandman", "One", "The Unforgiven" and "Nothing Else Matters" -which are all still played regularly at radio stations 'round the world. I'm also psyched to finally have the mighty Led Zep's historic anthems "Stairway To Heaven", "Black Dog", "The Immigrant Song","Kashmir" and of course "Rock And Roll". These tones will certainly provide a great excuse to ~rock out~ every time the phone rings.
Two more tones worthy of mentioning are AC/DC's "Let There Be Rock" used in the game Rock Band 2 and Foreigner's "Jukebox Hero" which is another great Rock Band game song. Hope you enjoy!

Samsung's Rugby Rough & Ready
Are you accident prone? Is your phone always slipping out your hand onto a concrete floor or into a toilet or into the garden dirt?

Or, just a bad case of the drops.
Inside its tough exterior, Rugby is a push-to-talk 3G flip phone with an external speaker for walkie-talkie conversations, and AT&T's subscription-based Video Share, which lets you transmit live or recorded videos while you're in the middle of a call. The phone also is compatible with the AT&T Navigator service ($9.99/month), which offers turn-by-turn directions via assisted GPS (aGPS), which uses both GPS satellites and local cell towers to quickly triangulate your position.
Rugby's other less exotic features include a 1.3 MP digital camera, mobile email, Bluetooth and a microSD card slot, and is available in black, deep burgundy and construction yellow (pictured).

Alicia Keys comes between Swizz Beatz and Mashonda?

The most iconic use of this song is by furry pink monsters on the Muppet Show, in its very first episode. The playful tune has also been used in commercials and movies. The single was also a billboard top 100 hit in the late 60s. It would make a great ringtone, don't you think?
