Blackberry Thunder, aka BlackBerry Storm or 9500, will be the first RIM smart phone without physical keyboard. It’s a full touch screen smart phone and will be launch in Q3 of this year.

On the front panel will be present only 4 physical keys, instead of the usual QWERTY and there will be no slide out keyboard.

After spending more than 6 hours surfing from morning to afteroon, I feel quite excited about getting Richard Palace Dot Com Mobile Friendly.

I went from searching for a Mobile Browser for my Cell Phone LG KS20 as the Microsoft Internet Mobile Browser, that comes with the Window Mobile 6, does not perform up to my expectation. I think it is rather slow.

Richard Palace Dot Com originally installed WordPress Mobile Plugin 2.1 from Alex King since my post on WordPress 2.51 installed on 27th April 2008. However after some testing and searching, I found another WordPress Mobile Plugin, by Andy Moore, more attractive. Here are some nice features:
* Easy to install, one file. WURFL not required
* Automatic mobile phone & PDA detection
* Post & upload from your mobile
* Supports display and posting of comments
* Supports AdMob mobile advertising
* SEO friendly titles and H1 tags
* Highly configurable & easy to customise
* Adheres to W3C & mTLD dotMobi standards
* Released by dotMobi Certified Developer

I will be using this WordPress Mobile Plugin till there is a better one out there. As this WordPress Mobile Plugin automatically detect the browser, the mobile site share the same address as the classic one and you will notice the differences only if you used Mobile Browser.

If you have any problem accessing my site using Mobile Browser from your pda, iphone, smartphone, mobile phone, cell phone or your classic browser like Opera, FireFox, Safari, MSIE, kindly let me know so I can rectify the problem as soon as possible.

Mobile users can now take their online avatars with them everywhere, thanks to some new software for Samsung phones.

The mobile handset vendor has been demonstrating Second Life three-dimensional virtual world applications on its phones all week at the CTIA conference in Las Vegas.

Samsung pointed to unique features of its Second Life client, like a mixed blogging platform that allows users to post blogs simultaneously in the real world and the virtual world of Second Life. In addition, a mixed contact feature allows users to communicate with avatar friends using voice or SMS messaging. Samsung developed its mobile applications based on the open source client from Second Life’s founding company, Linden Lab. But despite those roots, Samsung emphasized the Second Life client is still compatible with Windows Mobile devices.

American users will be able to access the mobile client before the end of the year, Samsung said Tuesday, in a statement.

Samsung also used the Vegas backdrop to showcase two other mobile apps it has developed. LifeDiary manages the user’s photos and videos taken for the day, as well as all the day’s calls, SMS messages, contacts, and appointments. LifeDiary is compatible with Symbian and Windows Mobile phones and works with a PC application and a Web site to synchronize mobile content. The mobile application also allows users to create a personal blog that can be managed using a cell phone.

Samsung was also showing off its Softboard application that allows users to create games, photo albums, greeting cards, and interactive messages on a PC and then send them to mobile users they know.
