iPhone vs. BlackBerry Bold: Hands On (and Wait-a-Thon)
The iPhone Blog's Dieter Bohn says:
What happens when your Sister Site, CrackBerry.com, manages to score a BlackBerry Bold on eBay? What happens after they do their hands-on images, videos, and walkthroughs, that is? What happens is they start sending the beast around the the office. So here we have a full gallery comparing the iPhone and the BlackBerry Bold. Head to head images comparing size, UI, web browser (though that one's not quite fair since the Bold's web browser ain't anywhere near complete yet), and of course media capabilities.

How To: Properly Erasing Your iPhone
iPhoneAlley's Chris Barylick says:
Earlier in the week, a story hit the wires discussing how an Oregon state police officer was able to retrieve the e-mail, photos and other personal information left behind by the previous owner of a refurbished iPhone. Though the officer was using forensics software, the data remained retrievable.

RIM leader Lazaridis languid on iPhone
CIO.com's Al Sacco reports:
Mike Lazaridis, co-CEO and president of Research In Motion, the BlackBerry maker, is the man who brought wireless push email to handhelds in the late 1990s, changing the way businesspeople use mobile phones forever....
In mid-May, RIM held its seventh annual Wireless Enterprise Symposium in Orlando, where CIO's Al Sacco met with Lazaridis to talk about the future of enterprise mobility, the competition, and more.
Lazaridis talks about the iPhone like a car enthusiast who drives a Bentley might talk about a shiny, new Ford Mustang: Nice, but just not for him, or, in this case, his customers, either.....

Opera Takes on Apple With Open Widget SDK
ReadWriteWeb's Marshall Kirkpatrick reports:
The popular mobile browser Opera today launched a software developers kit (SDK) for widgets. While rival Apple's iPhone SDK requires that applications be distributed exclusively through the still-unlaunched iPhone App Store, pay a $99 application fee and wait - Opera SDK built widgets appear to be much more open and free.
Opera's widgets will be able to run on the company's wildly popular mobile browser, Opera Mini excluded, the desktop version of Opera, the Nintendo Wii and any other devices that run Opera 9.5....
How important is this battle, not just between Opera and Apple, but between a wide range of mobile platforms? ....
