It's been over a year since it hit 2,000 apps, but it looks like BlackBerry App World has finally hit its biggest milestone yet -- RIM has announced via Twitter that it's now "10,000 apps strong and growing." For those keeping track, that still leaves it well behind Apple's App Store and the Android Market, which by some estimates boast roughly 250,000 and 70,000 to 100,000 apps, respectively, and each of which also took less time to hit the 10,000 app mark. Even still, the fact that a smartphone platform "only" has 10,000 apps speaks quite a bit to how far we've come in just a few short years.

From the Google blog:
"We recommend monitoring your ads' performance the same way you usually do. Google Instant might increase or decrease your overall impression levels. However, Google Instant can improve the quality of your clicks since it helps people search using terms that more directly connect them with the answers they need. Therefore, your overall campaign performance could improve."
At the event, Google Ad Evangelist Frederick Vallaeys went into detail with us why the new feature might in fact improve Adwords campaign performance, and debunked some of the easily made assumptions, which he outlined.]]> http://www.traverseintl.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=153469 Nextel BlackBerry Curve 8350i $99.99 http://www.younevercall.com/the--Nextel--BlackBerry-Curve-8350i-Black.htm http://www.younevercall.com/the--Nextel--BlackBerry-Curve-8350i-Black.htm #comments Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:14:23 +0000 Free Cell Phones from YouNeverCall http://www.younevercall.com/the--Nextel--BlackBerry-Curve-8350i-Black.htm http://www.traverseintl.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=350 A Storage Tower For Every Pile of Game Console Clutter [Storage] http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/CRcpNUd1iTY/a-storage-tower-for-every-pile-of-game-console-clutter http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/CRcpNUd1iTY/a-storage-tower-for-every-pile-of-game-console-clutter#comments Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:00:00 +0000 Rosa Golijan Gizmodo-5633366 If your game console accessories and games are creating piles of clutter in your room, then it might be time to grab something like the Level Up storage towers.

We guess there's still a few ticks of the clock left between now and that fateful day, but there seems to be little hope for XP to live on in any significant form beyond the aforesaid date. Dell has just published a report noting that they will stop offering XP on new machines later this month in preparation for October's cutoff, though they're quick to point out that Microsoft will continue Windows XP driver support until December 2012. For the average consumer, that means you've got just over a month to get whatever XP-equipped systems you want from Dell; for select "qualified customers," they will still be able to snag XP machines post-October 22nd through the company's Custom Factory Integration service. Hit the source link for all the details, and feel free to pour one out for a waning OS. We can shed a few more tears next month.

Wow. Essentially AT&T is starting to move some calls to the the 850 MHz band for more in-building coverage. The best thing about this video is that Seth the AT&T Blogger Guy looks like someone you'd want to give a noogie to (that's a good thing) and they show you what's inside those crazy switch boxes on top of buildings.

In our brief video interview, an enthusiastic Mayer touts Google Instant as a "whole new way to search,"a game changer akin to the introduction of power steering in the automotive industry. It's certainly a neat feature that optimizes the search experience, but the real question remains: how does Google Instant fundamentally change consumer behavior, and in turn SEO and Google's ad sales. Mayer was more tentative on this front. See video ahead. Bonus footage: After Mayer's interview, we also got a chance to talk to Steve Cheng, a product manager on Google's Mobile team, who gave us a quick demo on mobile Instant and discussed their upcoming rollout strategy.]]> http://www.traverseintl.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=153471 Brain Scans Can Predict How You’ll React to a Movie Scene [Brain] http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/VL9eyQnYMxM/brain-scans-can-predict-how-youll-react-to-a-movie-scene http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/VL9eyQnYMxM/brain-scans-can-predict-how-youll-react-to-a-movie-scene#comments Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:20:00 +0000 Jessica Hamzelou - NewScientist Gizmodo-5633312 CRASH!
