The Javelin has been slowly making its way into our websurfing paths recently and there have been a few more developments in the news just in the past few days.Hardware specs for this awesome new handset have come out and they look pretty spectacular. Although there is no 3G connectivity, there are some other pretty sweet goodies.

Check it out:
* 512 MHz Processor
* 256 MB onboard flash memory (more room for apps)
* Hot-swappable microSD slot - located under the battey door
* 480 by 360 high-res HVGA+ display
* Wi-Fi b/g with UMA + GPS
* Micro USB charging/syncing port, w/ high speed data

The above specs make for a pretty devestating smart phone. And as long as the physical interface is on par with all of the previous Blackberries this will be a winner. For me the lack of 3G is minor considering the Wi-Fi and GPS.

What do you think? Is this on your christmas list?

The Apple juggernaut hit a new high recently after announcing that there have been over 60 million software downloads from the App Store. These downloads, after being up for only a month, are apparently generating $30 million in revenue. Bare in mind this is just as the iPhone is picking up steam.

Steve Jobs is obviously ecstatic and he confirmed so in a Wall Street Journal interview. The other bit of information he also confirmed was the presence of the rumored and highly controversial ‘Kill Switch’ for non approved applications. We brought you this news previously.

Jobs says “Hopefully we never have to pull that lever, but we would be irresponsible not to have a lever like that to pull.” There isn’t much elaboration upon why it is so irresponsible, but we’re it will put many hackers out there to work against this kill switch. When do you think the hack will be out?

All that aside Apple still seems like it’s on the path to mobile phone gold and maybe we should turn our portfolios to those stats and not the apps we aren’t supposed to be running.
