It seems RIM has secretly released Firmware update 4.7.0.75 for their new BlackBerry Storm. Rumor had it the company was going to wait for a wide release on the update, but it seems they went with the silent but deadly approach instead.

Reports from users seem to be positive thus far, and RIM has purportedly patched up some issues and killed some lag. Here is a link to snag the update for yourself. Happy updates-giving.

Nerd Grind — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 18:15:31 +0000

Rumor has it that the iPhone OS 2.2 update will be dropping on November 21st. This is according to iPhone Hellas, who tend to be pretty accurate on these types of things. The update will feature fixes such as walking directiosn, public transit route info and podcast downloading over-the-air. The addition of "copy and paste" remains much desired in the iPhone community but there is still no information regarding the inclusion of basic feature.

T-minus 10 days for the release. We all know what iPhone users will be giving thanks for this upcoming Turkey day.

Everything old is new again. Lubitel have announced their 166+ model camera. The hook is that it uses real film. No joke. Let the digital vs analog rivalry begin anew. The new camera is an update to a classic 1970s model and it certainly wears it’s design aesthetic on it’s sleeve.

The $350 166+ offers some modern conveniences over the original unit. You can use 35mm film, there is an endless panorama option and the focus lens has been dramatically improved. In other news, snow has just released an upgrade to make walking five miles through it to get to school just a tiny bit easier. Whippersnappers.

Google Updates Routing Methods and Estimated Time

Not only has Google updated its time estimate to include travel time with traffic (which can be comical in Los Angeles, with a 20 mile trip turning into a 90 minute commute), but it’s added the ability to alter routes as well. This is great for me, because I’ve learned enough about LA traffic to know that many of Google’s routes are quite possibly the worst to take at certain times of the day. Very impressive.

Today, Wii owners in Europe, Japan, and the US can download a the new 3.0 firmware update. Look forward to a digital clock on the main menu, weather forecasts, and some aesthetic changes to the Wii Shop, as well as stuff to make it all a bit more user-friendly.

However, expect a message before updating that states: "If your Wii console has an unauthorized technical modification, this upgrade could cause interoperability of your console."

Well, what did you expect?
