You can count 24 apps running in the pics if you look closely

I am one lucky guy, I know that, I get to attend the premier events around the world when it comes to mobile technology and I get to play with the latest and greatest devices.  Sometimes devices I’m not at liberty to talk about for months.  So when I was at CTIA last week in San Diego I made sure to take a look at the N900.  My short introduction to it really hooked me.  I’m a big fan of HootSuite, a web based Twitter app and I was happily shocked when Chanse Arrington got it running on his N900 without any hitch or tweaking of settings during the GoMo News Blender.  I mean I was really impressed.  Then the next day Joe Gallo had 24 apps running simultaneously on his N900.  That’s not a typo, he really had 24 going.

Nokia N900 can be Customized by Operators

The Nokia N900 has been creating waves across the world ever since the pictures of the first Linux based Phone were spotted on the interwebs. The Maemo based phone was unveiled few days before Nokia World and more details including the price were announced at the event.  Nokia had indicated that the price of the phone in various markets will depend a lot on the subsidies possible in the market. But recently there were some reports that Nokia is not going to allow operators to customize the N900 the way they allowed AT&T to customize E71x for example.  Some reports even suggested that Operators might reject the N900 due to this restriction. But Nokia has posted an explanation on its Conversations Blog indicating that the reports are not accurate and that Nokia is looking forward to work with operators to provide the best consumer experience.

AT&T Finally To Launch MMS for iPhone On September 25

AT&T has finally announced that, on September 25, it is going to roll out a software update which is going to add the required support for sending and receiving MMS messages for all its iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS customers.

One of the major qualm of iPhone customers was the lack of MMS support from the AT&T side although iPhone had added the MMS support in its 3.0 Software Upgrade.

AT&T has stated that the projected high data usage of the iPhone’s multimedia capabilities was one of the main reason behind the delay in the rollout of MMS Support for all the iPhone 3G and 3GS Customers. You can read the complete AT& T’s company statement here.

Now that AT&T is rolling out MMS Support for iPhone 3G and 3GS customers, I wonder how long will it take for Vodafone to roll out the same thing in India. What do you say? Do Pass on your comments.
