iPod Touch Paves Way for iPhone

The iPhone and its vastly popular App Store might garner an awful lot more attention, but it seems that Apple’s success in the cellular market is matched neatly by the iPod Touch.

According to Flurry, the Apple’s success in the smartphone sector is matched by its iPod Touch, which is in many ways just an iPhone that happens not to deal with the whole telephony business. Still, the Touch is seen as a strong ambassador to those who might not consider picking up an iPhone, but need a media player, getting an iPhone OS-based device into users hands for less money, and often converting that user along the way.

Mozilla to Reignite Thunderbird

Mozilla has announced that it intends to give the for-pay mail clients out there a run for their money with its upcoming update to its Thunderbird client, which we’re told we can expect to revitalise a scene that’s started to look a little stagnant.

According to TheRegister’s interview with the chief of Mozilla Messaging, David Asher, the company has some fairly big plans in the works that it hopes will breathe new life into Thunderbird over the course of 2010. Thunderbird 3.0 is already well on the way, with beta versions looking tighter and tighter, but perhaps more interesting is what we can expect to see from Thunderbird 3.1, and thankfully we won’t have to wait an eternity to see it.
