New BlackBerry Theme Design Around the Corner! June 30, 2009

Just came across a new website for BlackBerry Theme Designs. Its called BB Theme Designs. I am not sure if they have themes for all the devices. Though it would be nice to see it atleast for the new devices like the Javelin 8900 Curve (My Favorite), BlackBerry Bold, Storm 95XX etc.

Here are few snap shots.

LINQ Pocket Reference: Snippet 1 May 6, 2009

LINQ or Language Integrated Query allows you to write structures type safe-queries over local object collections and remote data sources. Introduced in .NET 3.5, it (LINQ) lets you query any collection implementing IEnumerable<>, whether an array, list, XML DOM, or remote data source.

LINQ offers the benefits of both compile-time type checking and dynamic query composition.

Base units of LINQ are sequences and elements.

A sequence is any object that implements the IEnumerable<> interface. Now the element is each item in the sequence.

Ex:

string[] names = { “Apples”, “Oranges”, “Grapes” };

Such a sequence is called a local sequence, because it represents a local collection of objects in memory.

A query operator is a method that transforms a sequence.

A query is an expression that transforms sequences with query operators. For instance we can apply the ‘Where’ operator on a simple array to extract those whose length is at least 7 characters long.

Ex:

string[] names = { “Apples”, “Oranges”, “Grapes” };

IEnumerable<string> filteredNames = System.Linq.Enumerable.Where (names, n => n.length >= 7);

foreach (string n in filteredNames) { Console.Write (n + “|”); }

Output: Oranges

Microsoft and Verizon reportedly cooking up an iPhone competitor April 28, 2009

Just what the world needs Another iPhone killer. If the Wall Street Journal’s report is to be believed, it looks like that USA Today story may have omitted a relatively important detail regarding Verizon’s “iPhone” offering it might not be an iPhone at all. Citing an apparently different group of “people familiar with the matter,” the Journal indicates that Big Red is currently in talks with Microsoft regarding a project with the codename “Pink”. Pink will be a Microsoft-designed iPhone rival with a multimedia focus and, undoubtedly, a big touchscreen. According to the report, Microsoft’s iPhone-alike will also feature a tweaked version of the Windows Mobile OS with “new software capabilities.” While Microsoft is said to be involved with the design of the phone, a third party will build it. What do you think guys can Pink possibly tide you over until an LTE iPhone drops? Thanks, Mark! Read

RHex: Free Donationware Tetris/Dr Mario Hybrid Game April 28, 2009

Dan sent in a link to a new free game from CrucialSoft called RHex. The best way I can describe this game is kind of like a mix between Tetris and Dr Mario. If you have a better description let me know in the comments. The game is available for the Storm, Bold, & 8900 Curve but sadly only has a desktop install right now. Older devices will supposedly work with the Bold/Curve build but may not look right. I emailed the developer asking for an OTA install so hopefully we will have that shortly. The developer is also asking for donations if you like the game. Let me know what you think or check out the video below for some gameplay:
