While many people are talking about the App Store hitting one billion downloads, Slacker Radio reports that it has surpassed the 1 million download mark for the BlackBerry Smartphones as well. BlackBerry enthusiasts cite many reasons for choosing Slacker, including a music library with four times as many songs and the high-fidelity audio on Slacker vs. the inferior mono audio of a leading competitor.

In addition, Slacker offers the only Personal Radio application that enables listeners to store their favorite stations on their memory card so they can listen whether they are connected to a wireless network or not. Cached stations provide better application performance and reduce battery requirements by as much as five times.

BlackBerry smartphone owners can create their own custom stations with all of their favorite artists and songs or listen to over 100 expert-programmed Slacker stations. Listeners can also read detailed artist biographies, album reviews and lyrics for songs, providing a powerful resource for music discovery.

The Slacker Radio App for BlackBerry smartphones is available as a free download on BlackBerry App World or by visiting Slacker.com from your BlackBerry(R) Browser.

These days, getting media and streams seems to be the way to go and to make sure that mobile devices get them properly on their gadgets, Mo-DV has turned to a technologically new software to make sure it all goes according to plan.

Mo-DV has been awarded a patent for software technology that will revolutionize the way media distributors, retailers, kiosk manufacturers, memory card manufacturers, and even movie studios distribute video and other multimedia content to consumers.

The patent paves the way for millions of consumers to have access to Mo-DV’s innovative technology, which allows media files to be played on most cell phones and computers.

The patent was awarded on the heels of Mo-DV’s first shipping products: USB flash drives with bundled feature-length movies from a major motion picture studio. These products are shipping in the US, Spain, Germany, and Belgium under multiple brands. The technology for which the patent was awarded will allow for high-quality video, movie and media file playback across different computers and mobile devices that support removable storage media (USB flash drive, memory card, hard disk drive).

With this patented technology, consumers can purchase or rent movies and videos and play them on any cell phone or portable computer device they choose, much like a DVD can be played on any DVD player.

The Mo-DV player works across 80 percent of smart phones and on many feature phones. Mo-DV’s technology also can be used to make USB flash drives playback movies and other media content on any PC.

Vodafone continues to improve its current line of handsets and the latest is that of the Vodafone 527 Catwallk Collection. Away from the handset headlines, Vodafone continues to roll out own-brand phones that do the job, but come with at a no-frills price tag. As well as a bunch of new models announced recently, Vodafone has given its ultra low-cost models a Catwalk Collection refresh.

The new-look Vodafone 527 is one of these, a budget candybar phone that has been made over for value-conscious phone buyers who still desire a bit of show. The recession-beating 527 Catwalk Collection phone is now available in a range of eye-grabbingly colourful bodywork choices - violet, ice (white), rose (pink), lemon and sky (blue).

The 527 is not exactly stuffed to the gills with high-tech gadgetry. It’s a workmanlike dual-band GSM handset rather than a 3G model. But it does have a few features to entertain away the downturn, including a music player with MicroSD memory card expansion, FM radio, and camera.

Who needs hard disks if we have cards like these, right? With a promise to go up to 2 terabytes in capacity, the newly announced SDXC standard is already seeing some entries in its segment.  The first of its kind is the Pretec 32GB SDXC card, which although does not run into terabytes, seems to be heading in the right direction nonetheless.  Data transfer is said to be at 50MB/s, which is a far cry from the 300Mbps transfer speed touted about but still impressive.

There is no information on its price or avaiability, but with no devices announced supporting the format yet, Pretec can take all the time it needs to actually start selling little behemoths.

Eye-Fi’s wireless SD cards become better every day. Late last month, the company announced that its products would finally support uploads to Apple’s MobileMe and the AdoramaPix services, and now they have released a Manager update that has added support for RSS feeds along with Twitter integration, enabling users to let their friends know when they have uploaded new photos.

Additionally, the RSS support allows users to “publish photos in a live real-time feed via RSS to the aggregator of their choice.” Pretty darn neat.

We’ve just seen the James Bond watch and USB drive so I guess you deserve to take a look at Super Talent’s new flash drive. The Pico-C Gold is a really tiny flash drive. It measures 31.3mm x 12.4mm x 3.4mm and it offers an amazing 8GB or available memory. It’s water and shock resistant and it could basically go anywhere you’re going. As long as you don’t lose it.

And that’s right, it’s gold plated. No wonder they call it Gold as it has 24-carat gold all over it. The price you ask? It’s just $40. It’s a really affordable piece of jewelry. It might even fit in your watch. Or simply wear it around your neck. Tell them it’s a symbol of your religion.

Super Talent Marketing Director, Joe James said about the Pico-C Gold:

Is it the speed, the ruggedness, the water resistance, the incredibly tiny size or the pure elegance that people like most in our Pico-C drive? Who knows? But, this combination of features and style is not offered in any other terrestrial storage device, which makes it a real craze
