Kad Raya app

PETALING JAYA: M3 Technologies Asia (M3Tech) has developed an application called Kad Raya for iOS devices that allows users to send greetings to family and friends.
With this application users can create a Hari Raya greeting card with a personalised message while on the go and in as little time as possible and share it with friends and loved ones.
Kad Raya comes with a simple and easy-to-use user interface. It allows users to use an existing photo or take a snapshot using the built-in camera of a smartphone, for example, to embed and merge with the existing frames on the greeting card.
Another main feature includes sharing the finished greeting card with your loved ones via Facebook and e-mail within the application itself.
Users can also purchase extra frames and icons, and create greeting cards by paying 99 cents (RM3) through the in-app purchase option in the application.
To date, M3Tech has released three greeting card applications, namely for Christmas, New Year and Chinese New Year.

New touchscreen BlackBerrys being launched

TOUCHSCREENS GALORE: RIM is unveiling five new BlackBerrys with touchscreens, including the Torch 9850/9860 seen here, to compete with iPhone and Android smartphones. - Research In Motion

NEW YORK: Research In Motion Ltd unveiled five new BlackBerry phones with touchscreens, as it hopes to revive the line's dwindling appeal in the face of competition from the iPhone and Android smartphones.
The new phones had been expected earlier this year, but were delayed. Though the company is profitable and seeing growing sales, it is increasingly seen as a has-been that missed the chance to parlay the BlackBerry's popularity as a corporate e-mail device into mass-market dominance.
The Canadian company, which is based in Waterloo, Ontario, is updating its high-end Bold models to include touchscreens. It's also launching two Torch models with big screens but no physical keyboards, mimicking the basic design of the iPhone.
RIM launched a keyboard-less touchscreen phone called the Storm in 2008, more than a year after the first iPhone, but the Storm's quirky design and poor software made it a flop.
"The all-touchscreen Torch has been a while coming as a natural successor to the disappointing Storm, particularly when the smartphone market has gone touchscreen mad over the past 18 months," said Malik Saadi, an analyst at Informa.
The phones run a new version of the BlackBerry operating system, which RIM said is much faster, particularly for web browsing.
The Bold models will be the first BlackBerrys to include so-called Near-Field Communications chips, so they can be used in place of credit cards by swiping them across properly equipped payment terminals.
Many companies, including cellphone carriers like AT&T and web companies like Google Inc are promoting the idea of using phones as digital "wallets." - AP
