Software: Opera Mini 4 is official!

Opera Mini 4 is now official and should be fully compatible with most phones. The new Opera boast reduced data amounts (read faster page loads), increased usability on blackberrys (except mine!), better CSS support, mouse pointer mode and other usability enhancements. I'll have to install it on one of my backup phones, since it's not working on my 8800, but it looks fantastic. Check it out yourself at Opera's site.

Software: Facebook Blackberry App.

RIM and Blackberry announced today that Facebook mobile for Blackberry is now available. It will take advantage of Blackberry's push setup to deliver it's information (for near instantaneous poking action!). Check it out at www.blackberry.com/facebook/mobiledownload

Confirmed: Price List for new releases

AT&T will be releasing a slew of Data Devices (And handsets) in the next month or so, and here is pricing for the new stuff.

This is just what was supposed to be slotted for release before 11/3, There is more coming, like the recently confirmed Blackjack 2, LG Shine, LG Prada, HIGHLY rumored Palm Centro (Or possibly another Windows Mobile based Palm), and even more rumored Nokia N95!

• Samsung A737- $49.99 (After $50 rebate)
• RIM 8820- $299.99 (After $50 rebate with unl. data)
• AT&T 5700- $69.99 (After $50 rebate with unl. data or personal PDA Plan)
• Pantech Duo- $249.99 (After $50 rebate with unl. data or personal PDA Plan)
• Motorola Q9 global- $299.99 (After $50 rebate with unl. data or personal PDA Plan)
• Samsung A747- $149.99 (After $50 rebate)
• SonyEricsson z750- $99.99 (After $50 rebate)
• LG CU720- $149.99 (After $50 rebate)

My 2 cents worth, AT&T knows the money is in data devices, whether or not consumers want to drop $40 a month to use them is another thing. If AT&T wants these devices to sell they need to start looking at adopting iPhone-esc data plans or better yet helio data plans to attract young consumers. More on this later.
