  • Remember those pictures of the Samsung Reclaim which we showed you a while ago? Well it looks like Sprint has decided to come forward with the official announcement of the phone.

And on top of everything $2 will go to The Nature Conservancy Adopt an Acre program for every Reclaim sold by Sprint.

    While we keep hearing how Apple and Verizon are going to launch the first MacBook tablet in 2010, the Financial Times has a different view on the story. According to them the tablet will be released sometime in September. And it looks like Apple has gotten some partnerships ready for the big launch. EMI, Sony Music, Warner Music and Universal Music Group are going to work with Apple in preparation for the tablet launch.

    What’s the purpose of these partnerships? Well it looks like the whole thing is called Cocktail and its purpose is to increase music sales by offering albums with extra features like liner notes or video clips. Will it really work?

    Another unusual piece of information is the fact that the tablet is not equipped with a cellular radio which would make anyone wonder why Verizon is interested in the device.

    So which one is it folks? What should we believe?

    FlexiSPY is high quality spy software; it leaves no trace of installation, and is completely undetectable. It offers full remote control of all internal settings plus the unique ability to remotely disable and uninstall itself.

    Here is a list of versions available together with pricing:

    • FlexiSPY –Pro : €250
    • FlexiSPY iPhone: €100
    • FlexiSPY Light: €100
