“Developer of the UIQ software platform – UIQ Technology wants to push its non-touchscreen version forward. In that sense, they are offering the possibility to send your UIQ applications to them for free testing on a MOTORIZR Z8. Of course, they’ll send back a test report to you.Basically, UIQ Technology will report back whether the application could be installed, started and/or used on MOTORIZR Z8, along with the additional comments. There are no limitations on the number of applications submitted, nor on how many times the same application can be re-submitted. Furthermore, the application does not need to be Symbian Signed but requires valid certificates to be installed… More information is available on UIQ’s site, and the application submission page is located here.Go ahead, use this opportunity to test your existing UIQ 3 apps. Their initiative ends on September 30th. Hopefully, by then we’ll have MOTORIZR Z8 widely available along with more 3rd party applications.” via intomobile.com

“A Flickr user has posted a new series of new pictures of the Palm Foleo in action at a recent ‘sneak preview’. One shot in particular reveals what could be definitive information on the processor type and speed, which Palm has yet to officially declare.This image of the Foleo’s info screen seems to indicate the Foleo will use a PXA27x applications processor, listed as “XScale-Bulverde rev 7 (v5l)”. The same screenshot shows a 415.33 MHz CPU clock speed. This is the same line of processors found in the Palm Treo series and a number of other smartphones on the market today. It is not clear if the chip itself is limited to 415MHz, as the PXA27x series of chips include SpeedStep technology, which allows the operating system to control the the processor speed based on load to save power. This line of chips was originally released in early 2004. It is available in four different clock speeds: 312 MHz, 416 MHz, 520 MHz and 624 MHz. Another interesting picture from the same photoset shows the underside of the Foleo with the battery cover removed. The battery is comprised of 5 treo battery cells linked together and runs almost the full width of the unit. The battery compartment also hides a Compact Flash slot for additional user storage. The Foleo’s final specifications are still unclear as Palm has not announced the it’s official final configuration. The Foleo is expected to be available later this summer for $499, the latest rumor sets its release date around August 22nd. “ via palminfocenter.com
