RIM and AT&T event next Tuesday — BlackBerry slider and OS 6 en route?

Category: Industry Happeningsadmin @ 4:17 pm

Well well, what’s this? We just got an invite to a joint RIM / AT&T event next Tuesday, and we’d guess that means we’re about to see the official unveiling of the well-leaked BlackBerry 9800 slider with a side dish of BlackBerry OS 6. Either that, or RIM CEO Mike Lazaridis is going to explain how working two-way Gmail sync is a real problem that affects every smartphone and give us a tour of RIM’s top-secret email integration labs, but yeah — we’ve got our bets on new hardware. We’ll obviously be there live covering every detail, so make sure to tune in!

Samsung’s 1TB / 2TB external Story hard drive goes the USB 3.0 route

Category: Industry Happeningsadmin @ 11:18 am

It was inevitable, really. Samsung’s not-so-storied Story hard drive first took the leap to eSATA in November of last year, and for those always in need of the latest and / or greatest, now this very drive has made the logical leap to SuperSpeed. Introduced today as the fastest Story of all time, there’s actually not much else that’s changed besides the addition of a USB 3.0 socket — the enclosure’s the same, the capacity choices are the same (1TB or 2TB), and it’s still unlikely to truly solve all of your problems in one fell swoop. That said, the removal of eSATA here may be a detractor for some, but we’re told that the USB 2.0 + eSATA version will still be around in some parts of the globe. Check this one starting today for an undisclosed amount.
