iPhone’s OS3 was officially released today, including features long wanted by users, as video recording, mms and push notifications. It is Apple’s great punch, along with the new 3G S model, to keep the device standing and fighting as the most desired one – even though BlackBerry Curve has taken the lead in sales in the U.S.

In order to prevent a K.O., T-Mobile announced that it will give more details next week about its second Android device. Like G1, myTouch 3G will also be manufactured by HTC. There’s an estimate that by the end of this year we’ll have 18 devices with the “Google inside” label.

As for RIM, realizing why their models have been a success, the company announced BlackBerry Tour, a model based on Curve and Bold, trying to get the features that appeal to common and corporate users, meaning lots of cool stuff and simple data and voice network access when users are abroad.

[bell] Let the new round begin…

Lots happening in the mobile world this week. Some news:

BlackBerry announced its app store, the BlackBerry App World. It’ll be available for devices running OS 4.2 or higher and the purchase of apps will use PayPal (no credit cards?). You may register and be told as soon as it’s up and running here.

Coincidence or not, focusing on the girl power in the market, RIM also launched Pearl Flip 8230 which, besides other features, is pink. =o) Starting at 50 bucks for a 3-year contract.

Nokia, following Motorola’s example, has a music series of its phones. The 3 new XpressMusic models are the 5030, 5330 and 5730. Should be out every quarter from now for 50, 150 and 350 dollars. Depending on the model you’ll get a speaker in the back of the phone, gps, camera, wi-fi, qwerty keypad, etc.

The bands ought to think this whole stuff is great, since they can explore a developing and exciting distribution channel. And U2, who recently signed with BlackBerry for a world tour sponsorship.
