Before Apple could launch its iPhone 3G globally, BlackBerry Bold is here to fight for a larger share of the smartphone pie.

Enters BlackBerry Bold, basically an enterprise unit boasting a half-VGA LCD display with 480×320 resolution, powerful 624 MHz processor and 1GB internal storage memory, 3G connectivity and built-in GPS, plus a 2.0MP camera with video recording capability built in flash and digital zoom, BlackBerry Bold will also be able to meet the demands of entertainment with an advanced media player.

Right now, we have no idea how much the BlackBerry Bold will be selling in Malaysia, but I trust that it will come to our shores thanks to Celcom, unlike the elusive Apple iPhone 3G, though rumour has it that Maxis has inked the deal. I am not going to speculate until I SEE the iPhone 3G here.

Do You Knol?

Author: Emily

I read about Google’s answer to Wikipedia called Knol a couple of days ago when they launched it to the public. it’s funny that today, when I wanted to write about it, I went to http://www.knol.com and landed on the website of the REAL KNOL, a website owned by a Dutch company selling steam cleaning equipment.

So that’s one down for Google for not owning the domain name! Can you just imagine the surge in traffic for this Dutch site? That’s seriously funny!

Anyway, Knol is supposedly a “unit of knowledge” and what it strives to be is a database of authoritative articles on specific topics. This is for people who do not want to keep blogs, but who would still like to share their knowledge and publish an article online AND earn from AdSense.

People are already reporting that articles on Knol are getting higher search result rankings on Google Search Engine just like Blogger blog posts will get crawled and ranked faster, and this is a conflict of interest.

I foresee Knol replacing blogs for advertising solely for SEO purposes as SEO “experts” churn out knol after knol, you know?
