One such release is the 4.5.0.161 update for all older BlackBerry Pearl and Curve devices from Hutchinson and is therefore an official operating system release. I wonder if we will see more BlackBerry OS updates on the 1st of August.

Bsquare Corporation today announced the development of an Adobe Flash Platform technology browser plug-in for ARM-based devices running Google’s Android 1.5 “Cupcake” platform. The port is significant in that it will enable OEMs to provide a richer Web browsing and media experience on smartphones and smartbooks.
“The next version of Google’s Android operating system, ‘Cupcake’ should be attractive to a wider segment of developers,” said Larry Stapleton, Bsquare’s Vice President of Global Sales. “Our Flash Platform technology browser plug-in will be valuable to OEMs building ARM-based smartbooks and to those who are developing other types of Android devices requiring a rich media experience that is fundamentally different than anything else available for users today.”

Apparently marketoracle believes that the relationship between BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd and iPhone 3GS maker Apple Inc is changing due to “pair trading” or “trading pairs.”
Trading pairs means you purchase one market whilst going short in another market in the same sector. Apparently RIM and Apple are battling it out as of right now in the mobile smartphone sector.
There is no clear way to see who will be the victor in this battle but it looks as if Apple may well have the upper hand due to their extremely successful Apple iTunes App Store.
