An image of the BlackBerry London, a smartphone touted to be among the first to run Research in Motion’s next-generation mobile operating system, BBX, is being floated around the web.
The BlackBerry London is thinner than the iPhone 4s and supposedly will sport a TI OMAP dual-core CPU clocked to 1.5GHz, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of onboard storage, an 8-megapixel rear camera, and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera and is supposed to ship in June of 2012.

Both Rod and Chris attended the Windows Phone event in New York on Monday and Tuesday and I think the phone that they both liked the most was the 4.7-inch HTC Titan.
According to the @HTCUSA Twitter account, AT&T is set to launch the HTC Titan on Nov. 20th for $199.99. Rod just picked up the iPhone 4s, so, he may hold off on the Titan, but, I’d be willing to bet that Chris is already making plans to camp out at the AT&T store just so that he can be first in line to pick his up…

Word on the street is that Research in Motion has cancelled development of the 10-inch BlackBerry PlayBook in order to put more production focus on the QNX powered BlackBerry that is supposed to come out in early 2012. QNX is the next-generation BlackBerry operating system currently found running on the the BlackBerry PlayBook. RIM may be also pushing the 4G LTE variant of the BlackBerry PlayBook which is rumored to be coming out in October.
RIM has really been taking it on the chin lately when compared to the iPhone, Android, and even Windows Phone 7, and, there is really no sign of relief in site that includes devices other than BlackBerry handsets running QNX and their isn’t any relief in sight. The big question for RIM is if BlackBerry 7 can tread water long enough for QNX superphones to make their debut.

Google’s Andy Rubin, via Twitter this morning, said “There are now over 500,000 Android devices activated every day, and it’s growing at 4.4% w/w.” That’s a 100,000 more than Google reported back at Google I/O last month.
At 4.4% week over week growth, Android activations should pass the 1 million per day mark sometime this October. No matter what you think about Google or Android, these are impressive numbers unlike anything we’ve ever seen. It’s amazing that Android was in 4th place behind Windows Mobile a mere two years ago…

It was bound to happen… So many BlackBerry users have stated that would never leave the BlackBerry because of BlackBerry Messenger that you knew it was only a matter of time before Apple came out with their own proprietary, iOS only, instant messaging application. Today at WWDC Apple introduced iMessage which will be available to all iOS 5 or later devices.

Images of a new, unofficially announced BlackBerry device, the touch BlackBerry Bold 9790, have been leaked. Not only is the Bold 9790 unannounced, this is the first time we’ve ever heard of the device as it hasn’t shown up on any 2011 BlackBerry roadmaps that we’ve seen.
The BlackBerry Bold 9790 is said to be similar to the Bold 9780, albeit a bit thinner, has a touch screen, and runs BlackBerry 7. We aren’t sure, however, if the 9790 is actually a device that RIM plans to release, or, just a prototype the company has being toying around with.
