Prior to Blackberry 7, owners of Blackberry devices who wanted to swap contact information had to either scan the QR code of the other person’s Blackberry device or add them via the BB pin, but it looks like those days may be behind us as RIM has unveiled the Blackberry Tag.
This new feature is expected to come as part of an update for the Blackberry 7 operating system, and the idea behind Blackberry Tag is one that iOS and Android users who use the “Bump” application should be familiar with. For those unfamiliar with Bump, it’s an app on iOS and Android that lets users share files between each other simply by “bumping” devices together, but while Bump uses a Bluetooth connection, Blackberry Tag will rely on the NFC technology that has been built into the latest Blackberry phones.
Blackberry users will soon be able to swap contact information, share photos, documents, URLs and other multimedia content simply by tapping their Blackberry devices together. RIM also has plans to share the API with developers, hoping that they will take advantage of this feature to create or integrate it into their current Blackberry apps.

Yesterday we reported on the Samsung Series 7 All-In-One desktop, and it looks like these all-in-one setups are starting to become more popular, as Dell has replaced one of their higher end all-in-one computers with the Inspiron One 2320.
Looking for a fixed-lens, high-end, compact camera? Ricoh might have the answer for you with their recently unveiled GR Digital IV camera, which is the successor to the company’s GR Digital III. With the GR Digital IV camera, there are some upgrades that hopefully some of you will find to justify the price.
Are you an artist or designer that requires a graphics tablet in order to get your work done? If you are, the brand Wacom is probably one that is very familiar to you, and the good news is that the company has recently remade their line of tablets, which they are claiming will allow you to get the most range possible for touch input.
Next up is the Capture which is the same size as the Connect, with the main difference being that it also adds multi-touch support for finger gestures in apps and operating systems that support it, such as Apple’s Mac OS X. It will come with programmable buttons and will be bundled with Adobe’s Photoshop Elements. Unlike its predecessor, this generation of Captures is said to have faster input sampling which will help improve accuracy. The Capture will be available for $100.
Last but not least is the Create, which is targeted at professionals and artists who require a larger surface area. It measures 8.5” by 5.4”, and its pen comes with a pressure-based “eraser” and will come bundled with Corel Painter Essentials, which in total will set you back $200. Both the Capture and Create will also have the option of adding on a RF wireless module, which will allow to use tablet wirelessly, although it was not specified as to how long you will be able to use it for before charging. The RF wireless module is expected to cost $39.
