Yet another pleasant surprise coming from the Cupcake Android update branch is circular zooming. Designed specifically for zooming when you don’t have more than one finger free, you double-tap on the screen and move around the wheel, similar to Google Earth. The function is demoed here in the browser and picture viewer, but it’s likely to be found elsewhere – skip to 2:05 to see it in action for yourself. In terms of availability, French service provider SFR will be offering it thanks to Vodafone’s 44% stake in the carrier, and should have it for sale around the end of April.

In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them.

With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer.
