Not to be left out, like it’s smaller brother, the Original Nokia N97 got a firmware update today, to version 30.0.016. It’s previous firmware was v21.0.102. Thanks to DailyMobile for the tip.

The N97 does have UDP (User Data Preservation), so while its always a good idea to backup all your data before the firmware update, none of your programs or data should be affected with the update.

Remember you can update using the N97’s OTA (Over-The-Air) feature, or if you prefer you can downloadNokia’s Software Updater application to update your N97 on your windows PC. Right now the Update seems to be only available via NSU.

(Note: From what we’ve heard, the Firmware update is only available via NSU right now (not Ovi Suite) and sometimes takes a couple days before it gets OTA)

If there’s no new firmware detected for your device yet, it might be because it hasnt reached your region product code yet, or maybe your device is carrier branded. It should roll out to all product codes eventually though.

No Official Changelog yet. We’ll update this post when we find one.

Update: Apparently there are reports of this firmware update being pulled. Strange thing to happen. However, if you did manage to get the update, do let us know how it went along!

Have you updated your N97 yet ? Notice anything new with the firmware update that we might have missed ? Do let us know in the comments y’all !

AT&T: 40 percent of iPhone sales are enterprise, Android ‘built with a very specific focus to consumers’

It isn’t just Verizon’s Lowell McAdam with fascinating commentary at this Barclays Capital tech conference going down in New York this week. Ron Spears, who leads up AT&T’s Business Solutions division, had some notable things to say about enterprise mobility — specifically, the iPhone’s role in taking businesses to the road, a magic trick typically associated almost exclusively with BlackBerry over the past ten years. Basically, Spears says that he’s seeing extraordinary uptake on the business side with the iPhone since 2008 and the introduction of the platform’s first enterprise-focused features; in fact, he claims that “four out of every 10 sales” are to enterprise users these days and that it has all but caught up to BlackBerry for the kind of modern, tight, full-featured security that your average IT department needs. On a related note, Spears says that he hasn’t “seen the Android platform yet in the enterprise space,” but that he figures it’ll evolve over time to become “hard to ignore” to the enterprise segment. Of course, considering that AT&T has virtually no presence in the Android market at the moment, we’re not surprised that he’d take a lukewarm tack — so here’s hoping that changes fast. Follow the break for more highlights of Spears’ comments.

Thousands of free applications for Xperia X10 are available in Android Market online store. In addition, the device can boast of two exclusive programs – Timescape and Mediascape, that help to structure the contacts from various social networks and contents in the memory of X10.

Sony Ericsson New Program to support XperiaX10

The smartphone is equipped with a 4-inch touch screen with a resolution of 480 × 854 pixels, 8.1-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, GPS-receiver, a 3.5-mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and microUSB-port .

At present X10 runs Android 1.6 operating system, but at the end of the year the manufacturer will release the Android 2.1 platform for the smartphone, thanks to which the device will be capable to shoot HD-video similar to Vivaz, will support wireless home connection via DLNA. The device will still lack the support for “multi-touch”.
