RIM BlackBerry Beta Zone: try apps for free
March 26th, 2010
RIM launched today BlackBerry Beta Zone, an area where you can test out beta versions of RIM apps, or even maintenance releases. The service is for free for Canada, US and UK residents and you can sign up, download stuff, test it and provide some feedback. This way you’ll have the chance to try new and upcoming apps before they get their way to the market, such as BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.1. Don’t expect bug-free or final apps, but if you like to toy with your BlackBerry a little, BlackBerry Beta Zone could be interesting.

Opera Mini 5 beta native for Windows Mobile 5/6 available
March 4th, 2010
Opera announced a new native version of its Opera Mini 5 beta browser for Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6 smartphones. The native part means it doesn’t require Java to run, so the Windows Mobile devices that lack Java support are now able to run Opera Mini 5. Opera says Opera Mini 5 compresses data traffic by up to 90 percent, which helps it load websites faster than competing browsers and lowers data browsing costs for those that pay by the megabyte.

Facebook for WebOS gets an update
March 4th, 2010
Palm just launched a new version of its WebOS Facebook app. The new 1.1.0 version covers some issues unresolved in the previous versions like improved access to inbox, photo albums, friend’s profiles, list view of birthdays and events and more. Also it addresses some bugs like ignoring preferences on status updates. Still, there’s some work to do as features like chat, video and ability to respond to friend requests are missing in the current release, but for now, it’s a better experience than browsing to the Facebook page in the Palm Pre.
