BlackBerry 9800 slider (AT&T), 9300 (T-Mobile) and 9670 clamshell in new videos

BlackBerry 9800, BlackBerry 9670 and BlackBerry 9300 are three of RIM’s unannounced smartphones that appeared until now in several leaked videos and photos.


Most of the previously published videos have been removed. However, thanks to Salomondrin, we now have new videos that show each of RIM’s upcoming devices.

The BlackBerry 9800 slider seen here is made for AT&T (which might also launch the Pearl 3G 9100). It runs BlackBerry OS 6.0 (obviously), and its sliding mechanism seems to be “awesome.” Check out the video, where the 9800 is compared to the Storm:

Mark Chao and Vic Zhou faces off again

The two actors are in the running for the Best Actor Award for this year’s Golden Horse Awards

Vic Zhou and Mark Zhao's rivalry just got bigger.

Ever since the two stars faced off in last year's Golden Bell Awards for the Best Actor Award for their roles in the television drama Black & White, many have been keeping their eyes on the two hunks.

According to recent reports, the two actors will be facing each other a second time, but on a much bigger stage. The duo will be vying for the Best Actor Award in the Golden Horse Awards.

Vic Zhou's performance as a decadent rocker in the comedy Ai Ni Yi Wang Nian (loosely translated as Love You For Ten Thousand Years) led renowned producer Peggy Chiao to remark that he is the next Tony Leung.

Mark's turn in the sleeper-hit Monga, received positive comments from many; with director Doze Niu praising him as a natural born actor. Monga's impressive haul in box office sales was also proof of Mark's performance.

As of now, Monga seems to be the biggest competitor in the Golden Horse Awards - both veteran actors Ma Ju-lung and Wang Shixian are also in the running for the Best Supporting Actor award.

Titanic 3D Confirmed For April 2012

James Cameron has confirmed what had been speculated on for months: he will lead the project to transform Titanic into a new 3D presentation, on the 100th anniversary of the real Titanic ship sinking.

2012 will also mark the 15th anniversary of Cameron's record-breaking movie, which held the top spot of all box office sales for 13 years until Cameron outdid his own performance with 2009's Avatar.

Skeptics worry that a 3D conversion of the 1997 film will bring less than spectacular results. They point to movies like Clash of the Titans and Alice in Wonderland, which were not shot in 3D - critics ripped apart their poor 3D presentation and moviegoers griped about spending extra money for a lackluster experience.

However, Cameron has pledged to ensure that Titanic 3D will be a completely new experience from Titanic.

The question is whether or not Titanic 3D ticket sales will attach to the existing Titanic box office statistic. It won't topple over Avatar, which grossed more than $1 billion, but it could make it more impossible for other directors to eclipse the blockbuster film's sales numbers.

New “James Bond” Movie Shelved Amid MGM Financial Crisis

MGM Studios — which produced some of Hollywood’s most timeless classics in its mid-20th century heyday — is on its last leg financial and the new James Bond movie has been shelved amid the studio’s crippling cash crisis.


Has Agent 007 taken his final ride?

“We do not know when development will resume and cannot comment further at this stage,” production company EON confirmed in a statement last week.

American Beauty director Sam Mendes was lined up to direct the 23rd flick in the franchise, which started with Dr. No in 1962. The $200 million blockbuster, starring Daniel Craig as the cinema’s smoothest secret agent, had been previously postponed amid “financial problems” at the debt-ridden movie studio, which co-funded the film. However, producers have now pulled the plug on the new Bond completely, citing MGM’s cashflow troubles as the chief reason for halting production.

“Members of the production crew have been told the Bond film has been canned,” a studio fly spied to England’s Daily Mail last week. “There is a lot of bad feeling as a lot of time, money and hard work has already gone into this.”

MGM is drowning under a reported $3.64 billion debt as it desperately searches for a buyer. A string of box office flops have meant big losses for the once grand studio.

Aava Moorestown phone running MeeGo hits the wilds


If you don't understand the significance of what you're looking at then you're probably not paying attention. First off, that Aava slab of WoW slaying smartphone is underpinned by Intel's Moorestown processor. Yes, Intel, not ARM, as Chipzilla gets serious about taking its silicon mobile. Second, that's the freshly minted MeeGo OS for handsets that just made its first alpha appearance last week. And it just happens to be the OS that Nokia, the world's largest handset manufacturer, will be building its future generation of super smartphones upon. We'll give you a second to take it all in.

Fortunately for us, the device is in the hands of Steve "Chippy" Paine over at Carrypad / UMPC Portal. As such, this is just the first of many revelations to come. Hit the man up on Twitter if you want to follow his adventure first hand.

Spoiling chances of rumors: Show Lo and Tia Li have no chance of reunion

Show Lo (Xiao Zhu) has endorsed Watson's for 3 straight years. A few days ago, he filmed the "Good Friend" sanitary napkin commercial at the Hua Shan Cultural and Creative Industry Center like he has before. However, the female lead of the commercial has switched from last year's Tia Li to a model with short hair. It is reported that Show is reported by the company's consumers to be the endorser that best hits the mark as the most intimate, yet strong, male entertainer (the best in female entertainers would be Xiao S). Besides wanting him to renew his contract, they've rewarded him by increasing his last year's contract of 4 million TWD to this year's 5 million TWD.

She is coming out with a book, price has become 6-fold

The day of the commercial, he had returned to Taiwan in the early hours of the morning and had to wake up at 6 to get to the site. Because of the lack of sleep, he was not cautious there and hit his head on a desk. He clutched his head, shouting it hurt, and hilariously said, "That 'sanitary napkin,' can males use it, too?" Within the commercial, he helps a female co-worker buy sanitary napkins.

She later made several appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show and later released Note To God, a song that was a Top 10 hit on iTunes.
