High-tech product releases announced the week ending May 4 include the BlackBerry Bold Touch, new iMacs, a touchsensitive all-in-one desktop PC from MSI, a keyboard that's built for the iPhone, contract-free Android media players, and luxury in-wall speakers.

Touchsensitive BlackBerry smartphones
Research In Motion (RIM) unveiled two new smartphones that feature the company's much-loved keyboard, a new touchsensitive screen and RIM's latest smartphone operating system, (OS) BlackBerry 7 OS. The BlackBerry Bold Touch aka the 9900 (HSPA+) and 9930 (CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and HSPA+ global roaming on GSM/UMTS) smartphones keep the iconic keyboard and screen design but add an iPhone 4-like brushed stainless steel frame, a slim 10.5mm profile and NFC connectivity. The 9900 and 9930 BlackBerry Bold Touch will be available in selected countries in June or July. Pricing has not been announced.
