There was a rumor about the possbility of launching a next gen BlackBerry Storm 2 with WiFi on Verizon Wireless some time ago, but this was thought by most as a joke at first. However, sources have now confirmed that the rumor was in fact true. The BlackBerry Storm 2 will launch on Verizon with WiFi, obviously for far more greater connectivity and faster web browsing. I personally believe WiFi has been the single most importantly let down for the Storm, otherwise it would have been a far greater device with much more popularity. Sources also confirm that the next Storm, Storm 2 has a new screen technology, which aims to make typing easier. It is believed that the Storm 2 will be launching around September time, which makes you think – BlackBerry has reduced the cycle time of its first full touchscreen device to less than a year, they must be in a hurry!
The Samsung i8910 Omnia HD which was revealed at the recent MWC 2009 in Barcelona is an improved version of the original Omnia smartphone. Its got a huge 3.7-inch AMOLED display, plays HD videos and should prove to be a strong competitor against other full touchscreen cameraphones in the upcoming months. As you can see there is no physical keypad and full touchscreen control interface totally proves its value on such a large display. It has a 8 megapixel camera with flash and powerful stereo speakers. It runs the latest Symbian S60v5 operating system.

Further stressing the TG01’s high quality screen, the new teaser shows you why the TG01 will be unlike no other. Like Toshiba tellys, it’s able to dim its screen to save battery or work better in varied lighting conditions, and also packs the same colour processing technology.
You may already have seen the gallery we put up last week of the TG01, Toshiba’s iPhone killer in which they were so excitied to unveil that they couldn’t wait til the Mobile World Congress. I know you may have already seen a previous hands on video but this one to follow after the jump shows more clearly how the device will work and of course all the fuzz about those strips! 
Just days after Toshiba’s latest flagship touchscreen was revealed, we’re now beginning to see some hands on demo videos appear. Everything about the Toshiba TG01 seems great at the moment, of course this is what Toshiba wants, escpecially from us iPhone users. Except one thing though, it runs Windows Mobile…

Here is another one of Google’s latest features to be released, Google Latitude. What Google Latitude does is that it lets you see your friends on a map within Google Maps for mobile and iGoogle. Of course, the person you want to see on the map will need to have the appropriate gadget, and you must have their permission first in order to see where they are.
An example of its use could be to plan a meetup with someone anywhere nearby at a point on the map, or see that a loved one has got home safely or just stay in touch (or spy) with friends!
