  Otterbox has been on a roll lately with their slew of case release.  This time they have chosen to protect your Blackberry Bold 9700 in two different ways.  First we have the Impact series which is your basic silicone protection.  The other option is the Commuter series which adds to the silicone with an external layer of plastic protection. 

 

OtterBox Keeps Your BlackBerry Bold 9700 Smartphone Pristine

Fort Collins, COLO. –To protect the new BlackBerry® Bold™ 9700 smartphone, OtterBox releases two custom cases: the Impact™ and Commuter™ Series. Each case offers full interaction with buttons, trackpad, camera and flash for on-the-go protection.

“For BlackBerry smartphone users, keeping their smartphone in pristine condition is a must,” Curt Richardson said, OtterBox founder and CEO. “Everybody wants something different out of a smartphone case – some just need a basic safeguard and others require a more protective solution. OtterBox now offers two options so BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone customers can choose the perfect case to fit their needs.”

The OtterBox Impact Series for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone speaks to those needing everyday protection. Cradling the smartphone in a single, slim-fit silicone layer, the Impact Series uses inner coring and a self-adhering screen protector to defend from impact, scuffs and scratches. A screen installation card and microfiber cleaning cloth are included.* 

With a silicone layer and hard polycarbonate exterior, the OtterBox Commuter Series case for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone is a trusted safeguard for busy lifestyles. The exposed silicone corners dissipate impact away from the smartphone and protect against bump and shock. Dust and dirt are deflected by attached silicone plugs over all ports. Included with the case is a self-adhering screen protector, installation card and microfiber cloth.**

Keep your BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone protected from whatever the day brings with Impact or Commuter Series cases from OtterBox.

  Apple released an update for the trackpad on the new MacBook to correct the click issue many of the users were having. 

 

This firmware update addresses an issue where trackpad clicks may not be recognized on MacBook (Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (Late 2008) systems.

 

It’s great that Apple fixed the issue so quickly and could fix it with a firmware update.  You can get the update from the software update or via Apple.

  The MacBooks being released later today have a few confirmations from Daring Fireball we thought we would share:

 

1.  The trackpad on the MacBook and the MacBook Pro are indeed buttonless and are interestingly made of glass.

2.  MacBook Air will be updated with a 120GB drive or a 128GB SSD.

3.  MacBook and MacBook Pro will be available with a Glossy-only screen

4.  The new MacBooks containNVIDIA 9400M GPUs. MacBook Pros will also contain a dedicated 9600M GT GPU for enhanced performance.

5.  The $899 MacBook is actually just a display of 24 inches, not the cheaper notebook.

6.  CPU’s will stay close in speed to what they are now.

 

Finally there suposedly will only be 2 price points, not a ton as we showed you earlier:

 

- $1299: 2.0 GHz, 2 GB memory, 160 GB disk
- $1499: 2.4 GHz, 2 GB memory, 250 GB disk

 

The glass trackpad is quite interesting.  This should be a very interesting day for the new MacBooks.  With all the new SKU’s of earlier, we wonder what else Apple has in store for us.
