Any mobile device is susceptible to any potential slowdown which could be attributed to a lot of different factors. The only problem is identifying the cause unless you can get your hands on a reliable software that can aid you in diagnosing the problem.

The MemoryBooster 3.0 has been rated by Fortune Magazine as one of the top apps for Blackberry Wireless handsets and aims to recover wasted memory which should be something common in today’s array of mobile devices.

The opportunity to save on buying a new mobile device such as a Blackberry may be somewhat stalled at times. And one main reason seen for this is the price for getting a new one. But if the tweets made by T-Mobile is accurate enough, you may just get a big break. Apparently there are reports that T-Mobile will be giving consumers up to a $50 off if they trade-in their old “working” phones and get a brand new Blackberry Curve.

There seems to be some confusion on what actual phones are included in this promotion. In fact, it seems that the promotion only offers a Blackberry Curve 8520. That was until T-Mobile posted a lot of current curve models tied up with it. But one thing is for sure, you will get a $50 off. So if you are aching to get a new Blackberry, here is your chance so I suggest you grab it!

Hallmark became popular for its greeting cards, much of which are still in use but have slowly gone passé. While we see a lot of their competitors turn to something similar, like e-cards and the like, Hallmark has adapted a new kind of technology in sending greetings to loved ones and friends. The new transition is the Hallmark Mobile Greeting Service which launched a couple of days ago.

For starters, the Hallmark Mobile Greetings will be made available to a handful of mobile phones in the market. But just like most apps, expect them to cater to most of the smartphones which can be sent from one mobile network to another.

The Hallmark Mobile Greetings can be downloaded to a cellphone for free from their site. Users can then send greetings to other mobile phones. In addition, consumers also can send greetings directly from mobile.hallmark.com for delivery to a mobile device.

Each Hallmark Mobile Greeting costs 99 cents. Fees are billed as part of monthly service-provider charges and the sender is only charged if the recipient opens the mobile greeting.

People who purchase the new Samsung Exclaim may be surprised to note that they will get something extra as Scanbuy has added its ScanLife 2D barcode app, making the Samsung Exclaim the first mobile device to be shipped with ScanLife technology in the U.S.

ScanLife allows users to scan 2D (two-dimensional) barcodes with a standard camera phone to automatically display a specific mobile Web site, launch a video, and more. A user can then view and share that information through social networking communities; Samsung Exclaim will also feature social networking applications such as Facebook and MySpace.

“This is an enormous milestone for the development and adoption of mobile barcode technology in the United States,” said Jonathan Bulkeley, chief executive officer of Scanbuy. “The demand for this technology by users and publishers has been growing rapidly, and placing the ScanLife application into new phones will make the experience easier than ever.”

We all know that the touch screen interface of the iPhone revolutionized how mobile device owners could easily control their gadgets. Anyone can use any of his fingers to navigate and control their phones. But now, it seems that Apple is contemplating on a wild idea to integrate finger print recognition of the iPhone, something that should draw some cheers.

The abstract for the July 2nd filing states that a device, such as an iPhone perhaps, could “store user input signatures, including fingerprint signatures. The user input signatures can, in turn, be associated with user-selectable commands. When a user provides user input (including fingerprints) to the electronic device that matches one of the stored user input signatures, the device can initiate the associated user-selectable command.”

Obviously this is a security feature that will certainly be most welcome. But this also means that the iPhone is limited to the owner’s actions. That and some other people whose signatures would be stored will be the only ones to use the device. It could work and should this new feature pull through, people will surely love the new feature if and when it becomes a reality.
