Blackberry gets into the App Store game too…

http://www.applegazette.com

The new Blackberry Storm is not only the debut of RIM’s first touch screen Blackberry, it’s also the debut of their new “App Center”.
This service is going to be similar to Apple’s App Store, but the choices of the store will be dictated by the carriers rather than RIM itself. They will host the content but will use a central RIM server as a filter. This is going to allow carriers to limit access to software that they feel would consume too much bandwidth or that they think run against their policies.

Sources say that “The Brick” is a manufacturing process…

http://www.applegazette.com

In an interesting turn of events it may be that Apple’s “Brick” rumor may not be a product at all - but a new manufacturing process that would involve 3D lasers and water jet cutting.
According to 9to5Mac this new process would have several advantages:
Carving out of aluminum eliminates the need to bend the metal and create weak spots or microfolds and rifts.
There are no seams in the final product, so it is smooth.
Screws aren’t needed to tie the products together.

Why Google’s G1 Entices Me More Than the iPhone

http://feeds.feedburner.com

I have a confession to make. The new Google G1 smartphone appeals to me a lot more than the iPhone does. Not in terms of slickness and coolness of course, but actually, even though it’s about 30% thicker and nearly 20% heavier than the iPhone, I kinda’ like the G1’s more understated and utilitarian look.

Apple TV Authorization Server Problem Causes Mass Factory Restores

http://feeds.feedburner.com

I was in the process of attempting to install the Apple TV 2.2 update and then rent a movie for the family tonight when my Apple TV began a loop where it would get through the introductory Apple TV movie and then start to load the main screen but end up in a cycle between that and the shiny, silver-grey Apple logo. I attempted a factory restore by holding “Menu” and “-” after a power cycle, but that did not work either, even after multiple reboots.
