One of the most alluring reasons for watching movies online is the freedom it offers. Watching movies online allows film fans to watch what they want, when they want. Another bonus is the fact that all this is possible from anywhere with an active internet connection. This could be at a friend’s house, on a train, in an airport, on holiday, in Wi-Fi hotspots and of course, in the comfort of your own home.

One of the biggest reasons for the excitement surrounding the release of the Blackberry Torch, not including its battle with the iPhone 4 and the Samsung Galaxy for the title of best smart phone, is the upgrade of the Blackberry operating system that came along with the handset’s release. The Blackberry 6 operating system was somewhat of a gamble for Research in Motion as they attempted to keep the familiar feel of previous operating systems to please regular Blackberry owners and also introduce a raft of new features to bring in new customers. The result was an interesting one and here are some of the changes made.
New home screen
At first the new interface looks very similar in essence to previous versions of the operating system but it actually holds a few integral differences. The usual grid of icons is there but the ability to scroll from left to right and add new icons to your homes screen makes Blackberry’s new offering more like other smart phone operating systems such as iOS4 and Android.
New notification bar
Rather than just having a red flashing light to indicate notifications as Blackberries have utilised in the past, a new notification bar at the top of the screen has been included. Give this a tap and specific notifications will be highlighted, without the need to open the right application. This is something that was a constant concern for Blackberry users and has seemingly been resolved.
Context sensitive action menus
Now users can click and hold the trackpad to activate a series of menus specifically related to where you are on the phone.
New Webkit Browser
This is something that Blackberry users have been waiting for a long time. Now users can surf the web whenever they want without the long loading times that have blighted some of RIM’s previous Blackberry handsets. The inclusion of multi tab browsing is also a welcome addition as you can now go off on a tangent in your web browsing! The new browser also utilises full HTML 5 and CSS support.
