The Blackberry 10 Dev Alpha we wrapped our mitts around last week didn’t tell us much about RIM’s big QNX-based OS update (being loaded with PlayBook OS 2.0 and all), but Crackberry forum user Biggulpseh seemingly has the deets that the folks in Waterloo weren’t ready to reveal. So-called internal documents reportedly detail a tilt-senstive lock screen that pushes notifications to the user based on the device’s movement (called “cinnamon toast”), a screen-sharing ability to ramp up the productivity of video calls and a robust video editor resulting from RIM’s acquisition of JayCut last year. Biggulpseh says the images come from a “trusted source,” and are part of a document that outlines upcoming features for the benefit of the firm’s employees. Ready to dive in and let your imagination run wild? Hit the source links below, just don’t forget your saliferous spices.

Mystery BlackBerry

Whoever got a hold of this device over at MaxPDA seems to think it’s the BlackBerry Bold 9980. We’re more inclined to believe it’s a prototype of the still reasonably fresh 9900, given that it sports the same battery as well as the same layout for ports, sensors and buttons. But who knows, it could also just be an elaborate KIRF. Whatever it is though, it sure is interesting looking (to put it politely). It’s boxy, sports sharp lines, an out-of-character silver front and a black, textured back plate. Oddest of all though, is the word “proceeding” emblazoned in large letters across the top of the device. We’ve got one more pic after the break but, if that doesn’t quench your thirst, there’s tons more at the source link.

i.MX 6 quad-core reference board flexes processing muscle at Freescale Technology ForumFreescale answered our power prayers with the introduction of its i.MX 6 processor suite at CES earlier this year, but left us longing for a demo. Well, the outfit’s just given us all our first glimpse at the healthiest processing muscle in the bunch, the quad-core i.MX 6. Sporting four ARM Cortex A9 cores and a 64-bit memory bus, the reference design board can be seen running a 1080p video demo and Quake simultaneously — and it didn’t even break a sweat. Freescale says it’s currently working with Google on making the processor Honeycomb-compatible, but don’t get too excited; i.MX 6 won’t make it into real-deal machines until 2012. If you’ve got an extra 20 minutes to spare, hop on past the break for a rather lengthy video of the processor at work.

The HTC Evo’s 1 GHz processor is one of the fastest available in smartphones today but there’s always room for improvement. An Android developer at the xda-developers forum has overclocked his Evo 4G phone to run at 1.267 GHz, nearly 30 percent faster than the standard issue. The developer Michael Huang, who posted the hack under the nickname ‘coolbho3000′, says he’s going to try and push the processor to do even more. “Right now, it’s a proof of concept,” Huang told Wired.com. “I built a version of the kernel that’s running on the phone to overclock it and found it worked fine.” The hack is pretty technical but the idea is to let advanced Android users and programmers see the potential of the device. HTC introduced the Evo earlier this month as the first 4G Android phone. The Evo available exclusively on Sprint has a huge 4.3-inch touchscreen, a 1-GHz Snapdragon processor, a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera for video conferencing and a 8-megapixel camera for shooting photos and videos. It costs $200 with a two-year contract. The phone has become the best-selling device on the Sprint network and at Best Buy Mobile . Overclocking the HTC Evo is not the first such attempt developers have made with an Android device. Earlier, Huang says he has tried to overclock the Google Nexus One, which has the same 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor as the HTC. But that hack pushed the speed of the processor to only about 1.1 GHz. The HTC Evo overclocking has resulted in speeds of a little more than 1.2 GHz for most users on the forum who have tried it. But those attempting this at home, a few words of warning. It isn’t a DIY project for just about anyone. The files necessary to overclock the HTC Evo are posted online but you need to know what you are doing with it. “If you have a rooted phone, you can get an update.zip file to apply to that phone,” explains Huang. “What I have done is packaged the special overclocked kernel into the file.” Huang used an Android app called SetCPU available in the Android Market to adjust the overclock. Huang says he doesn’t have access to the full source code of the HTC Evo OS, which has limited some functions in the phone. That means the sensors and camera on the phone do not currently work with the hack. The overclocking also affects the phone’s battery life–despite Huang’s attempt to tweak the voltage piped to the processor. “If you put less voltage on the processor, then the phone will use less battery, so my Evo kernel is running at a lower voltage than normal,” he says. “But because the processor is at a higher speed, the battery life is lower than usual.” Once the overclocked device gets running, it also heats up a fair bit, say commenters on the forum.  So try this one at your own peril. If you don’t want to go through all that, just enjoy the video of the overclocked HTC Evo. See Also: Oops!

A contact form has been added to the site. Feel free to use this to contact us, submit suggestions, requests, and offer feedback.

We have also removed the forums for the time being. Between some technical issues and the overhead of maintaining them we are temporarily suspending their availability.

The final change is the removal of the sub domain for money and financial posts. Instead of using the sub domain we are simply adding a sub directory which will be simpler to access and maintain.

Thank you for your support.
