Rumor : RIM is ready to bring BBM to iOS and Android

As we reported earlier HERE . Several different sources are confirming that RIM may just be ready to bring the BBM goodness to the iOS and Android operating systems. It will come as a messaging only app and not the full featured messenger on the Blackberry itself, But, it gives an end to the long awaited interconnectivity b/w BB folks and Apple Lovers. The Android version should be out in the near future, or within this year atleast. The iOS version may depend on how Apple approval system looks at the whole interface in the first place.

On both ends Pricing of the app remains unknown. So feel free to speculate on how much the app should be.

iPhone also getting Multitasking gestures and MobileMe Photo Streams

No matter how much apple may deny that it will disallow multitasking gestures in their final release software, they are starting to show up in various places including the iPhone settings panel.

The same problem we spoke about earlier, bothers us, using “four or five fingers” sounds pretty unreasonable for a 3.5-inch display.

9to5 Mac seems to have unearthed traces in the iOS 4.3 beta of a new feature called “Photo Streams” that seems to be a way to share continuous streams of photos with friends you approve, presumably through MobileMe.

Although Apple charges $99 for the mobileme service, which seems pretty unwanted. But, then again a mobileme refresh is also due this year

iOS 4.3 beta 2 released : iPad 2 to have a proximity sensor ?

A the picture above shows, the iOS 4.3 Beta 2 was released. Folks digging around in the developer files found that the iPad 2 will have a proximity sensor which might lock and unlock the device when its put in , or removed (respectively) from the cover.

This refuels the no home button rumors we heard about. Please Apple, don’t remove that home button.

A slight sigh of relief is shown by the fact that apple claims that multitasking functions are a test and will not be available in the final build of iOS 4.3 . This would definitely mean that the Home button still exists. It does, it doesn’t , we wont know until it’s finally released.
