Bluetooth 3.0 Specs Are Official; Thank You SIG
It also uses Bluetooth's approach to discovery to create impromptu Wi-Fi connections between devices and permits both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections at the same time.
Chipsets supporting Bluetooth 3.0 out of the box are already being revealed and should be available in shipping products by the end of 2009. Some devices that use the current Bluetooth 2.1 spec can be software-upgraded to 3.0, though this is less likely to occur given the necessary work.
Apple's iPhone 3.0 software is known to implement a technology resembling Bluetooth 3.0 for supporting apps. It allows iPhone and iPod

Marvel vs Capcom 2 Relaunch In 6 Days?
Why are people linking Tu4ar.com with Marvel vs Capcom 2? Well there's the large number 2 for starters, but perhaps more telling is the website's name. Anyone who played Marvel vs Capcom 2 for any length of time remembers the character select music, in which a soulful singer repeated "I wanna take you for a ride" over and over and over again. Tu4ar.com equals take you 4 a ride dot com.
We only have to wait for 6 more days to see exactly what this countdown is leading to. I'm so excited - even though I don't have Playstation 3 or Xbox 360, sadly enough.

Firefox 3.0.9 Is Now Available
You now download Firefox 3.0.9 at this link, thanks to Softpedia. Mozilla was working on it all weekend just for us, they're so nice. Too bad I use Google Chrome, and I can't wait for their extensions to come out. Nonetheless, here's another version for you Firefox fans to download. By the way, where's that Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 that's supposed to be released this week. We could see it as soon as tomorrow, according to last week's news.

2 New Google Labs Products; Google News Timeline and Similar Images
Google Similar Images is the second feature that Google launched yesterday in Google Labs. It basically does exactly what it sounds like. "Similar Images allows you to search for images using pictures rather than words. Click on the Similar images link under an image to find other images that look like it." Take a look at the video below, if you want to know more.

Dell Relaunches The Studio 15 Laptop
The base price is $649 USD and you get an Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 2.53GHz CPU, and 3GB of DDR2 RAM. This laptop has a lot of different options, since it is a Dell. The Studio 15 laptop has optional: Blu-ray, Bluetooth, and 3G HSPA connectivity. The HDDs also have a bunch of different sizes: up to 320GB at 7,200rpm and 500GB at 5,400rpm. Sorry for pounding you with specs, but I just thought you'd like to know a brief rundown without hitting the official site. I like the way the laptop looks, but I want a laptop with a long battery life, so I probably won't be looking at this. Go check it out on Dell's official site.
Update: Thanks to a tweet on Twitter, I must clarify that the Studio 15 is just a relaunch which includes the revamped screen. The only thing they have changed is that the screen is 720p (1,366 x 768 resolution) capable and is now LED-backlit.

Windows Mobile 6.5 Not Coming On May 11; Being Discussed Instead
Looks like we got just a bit excited. Windows Mobile 6.5 will not be coming out on May 11. Since the blog post was "poorly-worded" that's what it made it seem like. Instead Microsoft will be demoing WinMo 6.5 and they'll be discussing its features / functionality and stuff like that. Too bad we can't just skip it and go straight to WinMo 7, which will hopefully be much, much better than 6.1.

I-Buddie Shows Off Netbook Running Android; Still A Prototype
I'm certainly excited about anything to do with Android right now and this is obviously going to excite me. I-Buddie's netbook running Android. While it may still be a prototype, these machines could eventually ship out to the public - that is, if all goes well. Take a look at the video below to see Android in action on this netbook. It's fairly underwhelming, so don't get your hopes up.

Microsoft Enables Web-Based IM In Hotmail Finally!!
If you're still stuck on Hotmail, then today could be your lucky day. Like Yahoo Mail (with Yahoo Messenger) and Gmail (with Gtalk), Microsoft has finally implemented the use of MSN straight from your Hotmail account. I don't know what took them so long but if you're still using Hotmail, then you finally get this feature. It will roll out gradually to all Hotmail users, starting with the more important ones in USA, Canada, Brazil, China, Germany, Netherlands, and Norway. Apparently, it's already been available to users in Japan, France, Italy, Mexico, Spain, and the UK. I don't what took Microsoft so long to implement this service in Hotmail, but there you have it. Gmail prevails once again.
