It looks like the New York State has officially banned texting and driving. From now on you should definitely stop sending SMS messages while driving. If you happen to get caught you will pay a fine up to $150. Next time you text and drive in New York you’d better ask yourself if it’s worth doing it. Not because there is a fine but because texting and driving is actually more dangerous than driving under the influence. Other states have similar laws in place and we can assume that more will follow so start getting used to stopping the car if you absolutely need to answer some of those incoming messages.

BlackBerry owners will be happy to hear that RIM is interested to hire a “WebKit Developer.” That means the Canadian company is considering developing a totally new mobile browser. It’s actually not a secret anymore as RIM did purchase Torch Mobile a while ago, which happens to be the company that created the WebKit-based Iris browser. Apparently that’s not enough and RIM needs a more qualified WebKit developer to help out with the cause. A new browser for the BlackBerry OS will definitely be a blessing so if you happen to have the needed skills then go ahead and apply for the job! We’ve been waiting for a new mobile Internet browser for BlackBerry smartphones for too long now.

Do you own a PlayStation 3 Slim already? In case you don’t then you should get one this week. The 250GB PlayStation 3 Slim is confirmed to arrive in the USA on November 3 and it’s said to cost $349.99. That’s just $50 more than the 120GB model. Do you think it’s worth getting it?

It looks like Best Buy is almost ready to sell the console too as the new PS3 Slim has been spotted in Best Buy’s inventory. The picture has been taken in a Best Buy backroom in Houston, not that it matters that much. Most Best Buy stores must have received the console so you’ll probably find the 250GB PS3 Slim in a Best Buy store near you next week. Anyone excited yet?

For some reason eBook readers are more and more popular these days. After the Kindle we’ve seen Sony’s reader, Barnes & Noble’s Nook and Plastic Logic’s QUE. Asus is also working on a few eReaders and it seems that Creative decided to make one of its own. Dubbed the MediaBook, Creative’s eBook reader might be based on the Zii platform and it’s said to come with some very impressive features like a color touchscreen display ready to let you read all the eBooks you want and support for videos and pictures. Although this MediaBook did get leaked there are no leaked pictures yet. And it’s way too early for pricing details and release dates so we’ll all have to wait for Creative to announce the reader until we get too excited about it.

Just a few days ago we’ve shown you the GSM version of the Motorola Droid without actually knowing what market was going to get it first. Today we have some great news for your folks. If you live in Germany then you’ll be happy to know that the Droid is coming to you. The Droid will be coming from O2 Germany and it will be called the Motorola Milestone. The phone will be available for around $595 before taxes and subsidies. We have no release dates but we should expect the Milestone to hit O2 stores sometime before Christmas. O2 is the first carrier to offer the GSM version of the Droid so we’re definitely interested to see who’s going to follow.

The Jibbigo app should be something handy to have along especially for travelers who have to deal with some language barriers. Translation is a key necessity for some people and with the use of their iPhone and this translating app, live could be easier and clearer for them. The app is the Jibbigo app which can translate spoken English dialects into Spanish and vice-versa. However it can only record and translate one sentence in a time which may still need some effort on the iPhone owner’s part. But it is better than not understanding one another at all!

The Jibbigo app is now available and retails for $24.99.

After we’ve seen the Rachael teaser yesterday, today we get a glimpse of its user interface. The Sony Ericsson phone is going to be released on Tuesday, November 3 but it looks like Sony Ericsson wants us to see more and more of its capabilities already.

In this demo you’ll see how Rachael deals with multimedia files. The video shows how the Android phone plays music and videos for you and you can’t say that you’re not impressed with what Sony Ericsson has cooked up. If you own a Zune then the UI will seem familiar as some influences are pretty clear. But that doesn’t make the interface less interesting!

In remains to see the real thing in action. The video is conceptual and for internal use only so the Rachael might look completely different. We’ll tell you all about the Xperia X3 once it becomes official. Just a few more days to wait!

Here’s something nobody expected from Windows 7. It looks like the new Microsoft OS and the iPhone don’t really like each other. There are various syncing issues already reported but Microsoft is not to blame this time. At fault seems to be Intel’s P55 Express chipset and its USB controller. People say that the iPhone gets recognized but syncing is not possible. We’ll be waiting for an official stance on the matter and the parties involved should better find a fix for it. The iPhone is the best sold phone so far and Windows 7 is already very popular. Naturally there are quite a lot of iPhone owners out there that will be using Windows 7 soon. And let’s not forget that Apple is getting ready to ship iMacs packing Intel Core i5 and i7 processors in November. Cupertino would hate to see similar syncing problems occur especially between iMacs and iPhones. So what do you say Intel? Is a fix coming soon?

Barnes & Noble has just announced its first eBook reader, the Nook and it looks like the company is planning to take its business to the next level. The company is currently looking to hire a “head of their international business.” In other words, if you happen to have a great, ecommerce-oriented and educated mind and have the guts to apply and the job could be yours. Candidates from New York are encouraged to send in their resumes but European-based executives will also be accepted.

There are no details regarding the future of Barnes & Noble’s international branch but we’ll be back with those once the company has a team in place ready for action.

We’re really tired to see this weird game between Apple and Palm. It was a little funny at first but we should expect to see this mind games occur every now and then. Here’s how it works: Apple launches a new iTunes version that happens to block the Pre out and then Palm comes up with a solution that will allow iTunes synching again.

Apple has a new iTunes version available and naturally, Palm Pre owners won’t be able to use it, at least for the time being. Version 9.0.2 was launched this week and it’s still too early for Palm to release an iTunes syncing solution. The simplest thing you can do is not to download the upload and keep using your old iTunes version with your Pre. What do you think?

Palm Pixi is now an official Sprint and in case you’re still not sure about buying one then maybe this little info will help. Well it’s mostly a rumor but it looks like the new webOS phone will come with a new OS version. The new software will bring you more features although we still don’t know what they are. Rumors say that the next OS built is either 1.2.9 or 1.3. Currently the Pre is running version 1.2.1 which means we could be in for a lot of changes once the new OS hits. What do you say Pre owners? Are you ready for a new webOS version?

Naturally there are no release dates announced yet but we might just see the Pixi come with the new OS on board. We’ll tell you more about the new webOS once it becomes available.
