Now this something big! It is rumoured that RIM’s BlackBerry Messenger mgith be soon available on Android and iOS devices.

BGR reports that RIM is still working on the strategy and when to make it available for Android and iOS users, but it could be anytime before the end of this year.

BlackBerry Messenger for Android and iOS will be available for free or RIM might charge a one-time fee.

There are lots of other services and apps offering similar functionality i.e WhatsApp and Kik, but BlackBerry Messenger is still the most popular messaging app which is soon going cross-platform.

It is expected that BlackBerry will offer a stripped down version of BBM on Android and iOS i.e without feature to send photos, audio, videos etc. I’m not sure how this will go, but we (Android and iOS users) would love to try out the BlackBerry Messenger on our devices and see what is the hype all about.

Twitter 3.3 for iPhone and iPad just got a major update. It is now even better than before with a handful of new features introduced to the app.

Twitter iPhone app is the third most popular way of accessing Twitter after the Twitter websites.

The changes in the latest Twitter 3.3 for iOS are listed by Twitter blog as given below:

• Photos. Uploading photos is now easier than ever. There's a camera button in the toolbar and we improved the image preview, so you can quickly choose a photo from your library or take a new picture.
• Follow your friends. Now you can find which of your friends are on Twitter that have chosen to be discoverable through the contacts on your phone.
• Local trends. See trends based on your location.
• Shorten links. When you want to share a link on Twitter, just paste it into the Tweet box and we'll automatically shorten it.
• Tweet box design. We redesigned the "New Tweet" screen so it's now cleaner and simpler.
• Autocomplete. When tweeting on-the-go, speed and accuracy are important. Autocomplete for @usernames and hashtags help you tweet faster
• Direct Messages. The new Direct Message conversation view helps you better keep track of messages.

Twitter 3.3 for iPhone and iPad Now Available

Apple unveiled the all new iPad 2 yesterday at a press event where it also announced the iOS 4.3 and other iPad accessories.

iPad 2 is not yet available in stores, but there is something already to worry about. Will there be jailbreak for iPad 2 available for iOS 4.3?

There might be a possibility that Apple would have patched up the previous exploits found in iOS 4.2 for jailbreaking. What now? Devs will have to look for a new exploit to jailbreak iOS 4.3.

An iPhone hacker, @p0sixninja, is hoping that the old SHAtter exploit still exists to jailbreak iOS 4.3 easily without having to look for new ones.

iPad 2 Jailbreak Might Be Possible on iOS 4.3

Microsoft is busy with the next major operating system release – Windows 8 – which is to be out in 2012. Today, a Chinese site Win7China got hold some new information about what new features Microsoft will include in Windows 8.

Along with the new features, the site also included a Windows 8 screenshot of Windows Live ID login.

This is what was found about the factory restore feature in Windows 8.

The site states that Windows 8 will have a factory restore feature that will return the computer to its factory state in under 2 minutes and that the installation time of Windows 8 M3 took 8 minutes to install. This install time is approximately 2.5 times faster than Windows 7.

The factory restore feature will not require a disk to be inserted to accomplish this task and the required hard disk space to do this is said to be minimal.

Windows 8 App Store and many other features will also be included in the upcoming Windows 8.

As the release time gets near, more and more leaks and news will start surfacing over the internet. We’re looking forward to more!
