Fujifilm's Instax mini50S Cheki is a Cute Polaroid Alternative [Instant Cameras]

It uses Fujifilm's Instax Color Film, which is about $16 for 20 photos' worth. A small screen (measuring 2.4" x 1.8") lets you view photos on the dinky camera, which it itself measures 4.4" x 3.8" x 1.9". The focus is 0.6mm to 3m, and it can take close-ups up to 11.8".
Two CR-2 batteries are needed to power the mini50S Cheki, which has a self-timer mode and flash.
It looks like it's just a Japan-only release for now, but JapanTrends has put up a $220 US price-tag for export, when it goes on sale September 4th. [JapanTrends]
Leaked HTC Desire HD Video Shows Larger Screen and Dual-Flash [Android]

Do clamp your eyes on the HD YouTube video fondle of the Desire HD below, and tell us what you think. While it doesn't give away too many details, at least we can gather it's got a bottom-located 3.5mm jack, and dual LED flash next to the stylized lens. HTC's famous rubberized back has returned, only in patches—around the flash and antenna, down the bottom (presumably for the battery-eject, as we saw in the Legend and HD Mini), and on the right-side (I'm guessing for the microSD card slot).

Why Don't We Have a 2-in-1 iPad Camera Connection Kit Yet? [Ipad]

Apparently it changes between USB or SD card functionality with just a press of a button, but as you can see the main advantage here is that the two dongles Apple sells bundled together for $29 have been reduced to just the one device, for the equivalent of 426 over in China. Nothing like a piece of Chinese convergence to whet our appetites in anticipation of a swift import. [Weiphone via MICGadget]
BlackBerry Curve 9300 3G Runs OS 6.0, Too [BlackBerry]

Nonetheless, the Curve range has always been about affordability, and there's certainly no touchscreen to be seen here. There's the QWERTY keyboard, optical trackpad, GPS, Wi-Fi and a microSD card slot that can take up to 32GB of memory cards. The 256MB of internal memory is par for the course, unfortunately.
The camera is a slight 2MP job, and the display has 320 x 240 pixels.
I must say, I do like the return of the full shiny bezel, last seen on the Bold 9000. Out in August. [BlackBerry Curve 9300]
Waterloo, Ontario - Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced the new BlackBerry® Curve™ 3G, an exciting addition to the globally popular BlackBerry Curve series of smartphones. Designed to provide the growing mass of smartphone purchasers with a distinctly powerful, approachable and affordable choice, the BlackBerry Curve 3G supports high-speed 3G (HSDPA) networks around the world and gives users the exceptional communications features they need to accomplish more than ever, when they're at home, at work and everywhere in-between.
"The majority of people in the worldwide mobile phone market have yet to buy their first smartphone and the BlackBerry Curve 3G is designed to provide an extremely attractive and accessible choice that will help convince many of them to make the leap," said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO at Research In Motion. "The new BlackBerry Curve 3G is a perfect choice for happily busy people who are looking for a user-friendly 3G smartphone to help them make the most of their day and to stay connected with their friends, family and co-workers."
The BlackBerry Curve 3G smartphone features a comfortable full-QWERTY keyboard for fast, accurate typing, optical trackpad for fluid navigation, built-in GPS and Wi-Fi®, as well as dedicated media keys, so music lovers can easily access their tunes while on the go. The new smartphone also features a camera that can record video and a microSD/SDHC slot that supports up to 32 GB memory cards for media storage. Support for 3G networks makes browsing faster, streaming music smoother, and gives users the ability to talk on the phone while they browse the web, instant message with BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™) or share their location with friends on popular social networking sites.
The BlackBerry Curve 3G ships with BlackBerry® 5 and is BlackBerry® 6 ready. BlackBerry 6 is a new operating system for BlackBerry® smartphones that was announced last week. It retains the trusted features that distinguish the BlackBerry brand while delivering a fresh and engaging experience that is both powerful and easy to use. BlackBerry 6 is expected to be available for the BlackBerry Curve 3G, subject to carrier certifications, in the coming months.
The new BlackBerry Curve 3G smartphone (model 9300) will be available from various carriers and distribution partners around the world beginning in August. Check with local carriers for details about availability and pricing.
