RIM Launches Official Blog
BlackBerry-maker Research in Motion just launched Inside BlackBerry, a corporate blog that will cover the whole gamut of BlackBerry information. Right now it looks like they’ll mostly be focusing on how-tos, but my guess is that they’re still trying to find their footing in the footloose and fancy-free world of Web 2.0. What would you…

Motorola’s $231M Q1 loss only scratches the surface
Only a once-behemoth company like Motorola can manage to lose billions of dollars a year and still retain a significant market share. Still, Motorola’s global cellphone market share is quickly eroding, and the company’s latest $231 million loss is the proof in the mobile-pudding.

‘Twitter Girl’ proves a Twitter song can be badass
