The above two images were leaked earlier this week as “BlackBerry OS 6.0 screenshots.” Of course, many people did not believe these are real. BBLeaks leaked those images this week and said they “come highly regarded as real from one our best connects.” Now that sounds pretty interesting, but, BoyGeniusReport reported today that they got word that the above screenshots are just concept mockups (originally) made for RIM’s MWC presentation.  

Being announced next month (April 24th at Beijiing Auto Show) is a Chinese car called the Roewe 350 that has Android 2.1 powering it’s gps/DVD system. Android here will be used to not only surf the web, but will also be able to have live chats, real-time traffic reports, and more.  

Google has recently released the AT&T 3G friendly (Rogers Wireless friendly for Canadians) variant of the Nexus One. This is the one many users have been waiting for, as it supports North American 850 / 1900 / 2100 mHz 3G bands. Like the previous T-Mobile friendly version, this can be picked up from the Google Store for $529.00 unlocked without a contract – shipping is free within the United States. Apparently, the Google Nexus One will also be coming to the Sprint CDMA network. However, there hasn’t been anything else announced besides the fact that it must be purchased online through the Google Store.
 

Leaked yesterday were some pictures of a SILVER HTC Desire smartphone. Being on AT&T and having a BlackBerry and an iPhone 2G, I personally am very interested in a new switch to an Android. With the crippled MOTOBACKFLIP as its entry into the Android market, who knows if AT&T will load the same unusable junk into this top-of-the-line HTC device. More info after the jump.  

AppleInsider reports that Apple is preparing a new 27-inch LED cinema display for a June launch.

AppleInsider backed up their statement by saying the following:

“Two people familiar with the upcoming display say its been lingering in Apple’s labs for quite sometime, where it’s frequently referenced by the unique identifier/codename “K59.”  

This week, March 15th to March 17th was Microsoft’s MIX10 event in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Microsoft went more in debt with information about the windows phone 7 series devices. As we talked about in our previous article, Microsoft revealed hardware requirements for all Windows Phone 7 series devices. These requirements include the devices having a capacitive touch screen, a 5 megapixel camera (at least) with flash and a hardware button, at least 256 RAM and 8GB of Flash memory, three hardware buttons for back, forward, and search, and more.
 

At MIX 2010, Microsoft has revealed many secrets about the much aniticipated Windows Phone 7 Series. Some of the key points they showed off were of course the devices themselves. The first one to go on the big screen would be the all-touch Asus one everyone has become familar with. The second device would be the LG made QWERTY-slider one that was just revealed several weeks ago. And a third and final device revealed itself to the world for the first time – a sleek all-touch device made by Samsung!

Now that you can pre-order an Apple iPad, Apple updated a lot of information on their website about Apple iPad features, 3g agreement information, 3g contract management, and more. The biggest update is that the “mute” switch on the iPad is now the “Screen Rotation Lock,” like we highlighted in in this article. The iWork and iBooks page were both updated on the Apple website, as well.

The video above will summarize all these updates.

Anywhere on the iPad you can easily switch from portrait or landscape by rotating your screen position. If you have used an iPhone (or, in fact, any device that switches like this), you may know that screen rotation can turn out annoying when you are sitting (or laying down) in a weird position.
