India has joined Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in threatening to block BlackBerry email service unless Research In Motion implements¹ a secure monitoring service. The country's claimed that militants² and terrorists can use the secure email service to plan attacks within the country. RIM³, for its part, says that it's technically⁴ incapable⁵ of accessing the emails of corporate⁶ users, and actually promotes the fact as a security feature. India has stated that RIM has until the end of the month before they pull the plug on an estimated one million BlackBerry users.

除非经过一个完善的安全检查，印度已经联合沙特阿拉伯阿联酋航空来禁止黑莓手机的邮件服务。印度官方宣称武装恐怖分子能够通过这项电子邮件服务来计划实施恐怖袭击。RIM公司，黑莓手机的制造商表示，技术上讲盗取企业用户的邮件基本是不可能实现的，黑莓的邮件服务是构不成安全隐患的。印度官方估计截至到月底，印度已经有100万黑莓手机用户。

Adobe⁷ has come out and said "We've moved on" just three months after the company ran ads in order to ease tensions with Apple over the flash platform on the web. Apple has taken a hard stance in disallowing⁸ flash to work on their devices in hopes of a worldwide adoption⁹ of HTML 5, even though flash remains¹⁰ quite relevant on the net.

In more mobile app news, Microsoft has begun outlining the first X-box live games that will be available for its Windows Phone 7 operating system when it's released later this year.
