You could be forgiven for thinking that the Blackberry Bold 9780 was in fact already commercially available given the number of leaks that have sprung up about this handset. Well get ready for no surpise at all when you learn that it has ... leaked again! This time a bevy of new pictures from Vietnam have popped up. They show the device as previously seen, running Blackberry OS 6.0, but sadly there is no new information in the pics, just some eye candy for those patiently awaiting its arrival.

 

Bad NEWS for X10 users as Sony Ericsson has Officially announced that the Eclair update for the X10 is delayed! Initially the release of the update was scheduled for sometime in Q3, but it was not to be as they have now released a revised timetable saying that updates will begin from the end of October with no particular date.

There is so much wrong with this siuation that its difficult to know where to begin. First of all we have the delayed update of course, but then we remember that the update is only Eclair 2.1, which is a full iteration behind the current version, Froyo. Even Froyo will soon be obsolete when Gingerbread hits sometime later this year.

Here is what you will get from the 2.1 update on XPERIA X10:

• Upgrade of the Android platform to Android 2.1.
• HD video recording with continuous auto-focus.
• New back up and restore application, with extended content back up.
• 5 homescreens for apps, widgets, shortcuts and folders.
• Social phonebook, which automatically syncs contact pictures with Facebook and shows when your friends are online.

And here are the new goodies expected on the XPERIA X10 mini and X10 mini pro:

• Upgrade of the Android platform to Android platform 2.1.
• Improved Bluetooth functionality with support for sending and receiving pictures, contacts and more.
• New backup and restore application with extended content back up.
• Automatic synchronization of your contact pictures between Facebook and your phonebook.
• Improved ways of handling pictures, audio, text and numbers in your messages.

Do you remember the speculation surrounding the rumoured tablet device from RIM, specifically the name of the device, which increasingly looked to be the "BlackPad" ? Well it seems that this might not be the name after all if a trademark filing RIM has made is anything to go by. The trademark is for the name "SurfBook", which thankfully sounds Old than "BlackPad" does. Interestingly enough though there is some chatter that the new tardemark may be due to a RIM tablet not actually running the BlackBerry OS after all.

RIM purchased software company QNX back in April and there is some speculation that it may very well be software from QNX that makes it onto their tablet device. It would certainly explain the name change.
