Blackberry Gemini

Movie Online - From the leaked screenshots of the BlackBerry OS 6.0 users can expect to be touching their BlackBerry screens a bit more to resize and pinch anything from fonts, webpages or photos. The new web browser looks like it has been the product of RIM’s recent acquisition of Torch Mobile. The end result is a more fluid browser with tab browsing and a favourites list included.

The new home screen seems to have taken on an Android-like appearance, allowing users to access a list of applications bordered on either the left or right of the home screen. Overall, it should work better than the current OS 5.0 hassle to switch between applications. Another interesting feature which has a lot of tongues wagging is how the techies at RIM have managed to develop a more contextual menu which pops up with more interactive icons when the touch screen is held for nine seconds or more.

Taking a look at the photo app for the new BlackBerry OS 6.0, you can’t help but think how similar it is in function to the Apple iPhone picture application – which also means it works like a charm. Scrolling on the new OS also seems to be breeze with the new kinetic scrolling feature which really pushes the BlackBerry’s touch screen technology.

We first got wind of RIM developing the new OS in February and a few months later we have the leak and screenshots on what it should look like and how it should work. The new BlackBerry OS 6.0 was planned to be unveiled at WES 2010, and rumor has it that Apple’s iPhone 0S 4.0 should be dropping around the same time. This should make things really interesting in world of smartphones and we can’t wait to see who will come out on top come their release.
