Apple

Direct movie download is also included in this functionality, at least various screenshots of this new firmware seems to suggest so.

These Apple Insider founded shots apparently indicate towards direct links for iTunes Movies, iTunes Movie Rentals, iTunes TV through Wi-Fi.

If it’s not a rumor, but a reality, it’s a gesture that you need not to plug your device into your computer for update and it would be quite similar to the way movies are downloaded in the podcasts available in the phone right now.

So, it seems to suggest (if there is something really true in it) that Apple trying to move away its devices not to tie any more to Itunes on computers and it allow users to have content for their cell phones right from their handsets.

With the success of its iconic ThinkPad, Lenovo has come up as a blue eyed boy for the lady luck and now the company is considering to come up with a totally new line of notebooks, netbook as well as all-in-one desktop that the company is going to announce today. This upgraded line indicates that these guys are quite well aware of the fact what features price conscious users are looking for these days.

The product that really serves as an emblem of this changed approach is a 13-inch notebook that has been named as the IdeaPad U350. Just like other trendy notebooks of today, it weighs just 3.5 pounds with nice looking metallic finish and one-inch thickness. This new notebook will house an Intel CULV processor which is Intel’s newly released chip that is being used in mobile PCs. It will definitely boost some good battery life and it’s Lenovo that’s going to use it for the first time. The other company that has announced to use this chip is Acer that’s going to house it in its TimeLine notebooks.

Lenovo knows well how to produce a lightweight and thin notebook, as its ThinkPad is enough to prove its dexterity in this connection. The company has announced that their coming U350 will replace IdeaPad U110. It was at CES 2008 when the U110 was first launched as a lightweight, thin and slick laptop.

A 12-inches wide new Netbook is the other aggressive move from the company. Though it’s of large size, it has the option of discrete graphics with Ion processor of Nvidia. The integration of some serious graphics in the netbook shows that it will be used as everyday computer instead of just as a companion device.

The next one is their U330 all in one desktop that combines display and mother board in a single case and house an Atom processor. With 2-inch thickness, it supports 20-inch display, and it’s quite similar to the IdeaCentre A600 all in one PC that we have seen at CES during this year. However, it’s quite affordable and available the price tag starting from $449.

In the voting, nearly 630,000 votes were cast to select 100 top Web 2.0 services and sites. In the previous year, there were lots of surprises for the sites and services that were expected to win these awards, and the same thing happened again.

The biggest surprise, just like previous year, was related to Gaia Online, a social networking site which got excessively large number of votes quite similar to big-in-china browser. Justin TV also seemed to do remarkably well and joined the Webware 100 winners list.

There were also surprises related to some services which couldn’t make the mark in the final winners list, as for instance Blogger from Google failed to make a cut and it was a fact that Google failed to get any award in some really tough contesting Social and Publishing category. The category achieved more votes than any other category.

Just like previous year, Digg once again failed to be in winners’ lineup during this year. In fact a big spike in votes can be generated with the Webware 100 for traffic charts, but they indicate that these spikes failed to cause the essential traffic that was necessary to get enough votes to be declared as the winner in some category.

According to readers suggestions in the contest not only those products that got popular vote should be included, but also those that editors of the contest pick. The wisdom of the voters can’t be second guessed, but still an 11th Editors Choice category is being included in it. Some small and less popular products will be included in this category.
