Wait, wait. Something the was promised for upcoming year is arriving… the year? Be continuing to our hearts! Chrysler should reportedly provide up its in-car EV-DO secret (dubbed Uconnect Web) initiating on August 25th, and title&wshyp;holders of 2009 Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles (along amidst a few “earlier models”) is planning to be able to hold the $499 box retrofitted to the rides. Apparently the Automatic maker certainly isn’t planning to install the places directly at the factory, so persons who wish it is able to be required to to pay an larger amount of $35 to $50 installation charge, a $35 activation fee and a $29 monthly subscription fee. The tool is declared to find download speeds between 400Kbps and 800Kbps in on uploads hovering approximately 400Kbps, and provider Autonet Mobile has promised who you will “never waste the connection.” That’s a relatively bold argue — thankfully we will be able to test it out in simply a few weeks.

We already got a somewhat vague peek at the 3G-less Blackberry 9000, but it looks like there are actually two upcoming models of RIM’s new hotness on the board — the EDGE version we know about, codenamed Niagara, and an EV-DO edition codenamed Javelin, slated for Verizon. Boy Genius managed to unearth quite a bit more information on these two, and unsurprisingly, they’re basically the same as the 9000 we’ve already seen. Both have a 480 x 320 half-VGA screen, GPS functionality and 3.2 megapixel camera, but only the EDGE-based Niagara gets Wi-Fi. Of course, there aren’t any ship dates or prices in the offing yet, but hopefully we’ll know more soon.
