According to a Globe and Mail report, RIM’s top lawyer, Ms. Karima Bawa, has resigned from the struggling handset maker. Bawa joined RIM in 2000 and became Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel in 2010. Her resignation follows the departure of Patrick Spence, RIM’s head of global sales, last week.

Basically, it’s a black Lumia 900 with an engraved Batman logo on the back. Moreover, I would assume the phone’s packaging will also get the Dark Knight … Read more
KDDI is about to add a novel Android smartphone to its AU portfolio.

It’s likely that we won’t see a ton of fake mobile games in the Android Market (Google Play) in the future.
