An Overview of BlackBerry Curve 9380 'Touch'

The BlackBerry Curve 9380 is Research in Motion's (RIM) 'pioneering' smartphone - its touchscreen. An overview of the mobile device will give you an idea about what the androids and whimsical users' needs have created. I mean the Blackberry Curve 9380 is touchscreen. Who would have thought that the stiff upper-lipped BlackBerry would open it doors to cool. I'm still a huge fan of Sony Ericsson but the first touchscreen from BlackBerry has got me drolling all over.

The whole deal about the Curve 9380 is not so much for the tech and specs (and the touch 9380 comes with tons of them!) but the idea of having a Blackberry that's actually full touchscreen! Man. That's sweet. But start using this awesome piece of mobile device and you forget the touchscreen bit - you actually start enjoying it. The reasons are simple: touchscreen mobile phones are mega big time cool, they are in and cool again. Hmm okay, that explains it. So what makes the Blackberry 9380 so special?

Overview of  the Overview of BlackBerry Curve 9380

The device is the first-ever all-touch display device from Blackberry and comes packed in social apps - its practically a 'networking' device if you ask me: Aside from easy Facebook and the Twitter adds, the 9380 comes with new social feeds and BBM-connected apps. "Chat with friends within an app or invite them to download the app so they can join in on the fun too," BlackBerry says.

The smartphone is easy to use with its sensitive and responsive touch capabilities, intuitive virtual keypad and optical track pad, the navigation on the BlackBerry Curve 9380 is simple and extremely user-friendly.

The 9380 comes with a 5 Megapixel. It may not sound that big by current market terms but its big enough when it happens to come with flash. Now you can smile. With the device you can also capture play-by-play scenes with the built-in video camera. The mobile phone comes with an easy upload capability, you can upload the images or videos directly to Facebook for instance. By the way, the Blackberry Curve 9380 comes with pre-installed Facebook and Twitter. Oh, is that supposed to be news?

Apple to reportedly stop supporting 32-bit apps with iOS 11

In a bid to remove problem apps and to focus on quality, Apple will stop supporting 32-bit apps with the release of iOS 11 later this year, meaning that many legacy applications will no longer function at all. "Starting with iOS 10.3, Apple has started alerting users when they open a 32-bit app on iOS. The pop up notification reads that the app must be updated by the developer or else it may not work with future versions of iOS," tech website 9to5mac.com reported on Monday. The tech giant started supporting 64-bit applications with the launch of the iPhone 5s in September 2013. The company also asked developers to submit new apps with 64-bit support since February 2015 and app updates starting June 2015.
