Today Google launched an Android app for their popular Docs service, letting you access, create, edit, and share your cloud-stored spreadsheets and documents while on the move. The search and collections functions let you quickly find particular documents, and the home screen widget gives you quick access to starred documents, initiating a photo upload, or…
Rogers, one of Canada’s “Big Three” carriers, today announced that their network would expand to LTE in Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa, and Montreal before the end of 2011, and expand to the rest of the country throughout another 21 markets in 2012. Rogers began technical trials back in October, and though Bell and Telus are going…
RIM has just added another company to the BlackBerry family: Tungle.me. These guys do a simple productivity app lets users offer a variety of meeting time slots that invitees can pick from on a web-based calendar. It looks like RIM is gearing to upgrade the functionality in their native productivity apps, seeing as not long…
Well, my friends, it’s been a long ride, hasn’t it? We’ve laughed together, cried together, wrote an obscene number of blog posts and built an unprecedented amount of hype for a paint job together.

Apparently the Curve Touch isn’t the only BlackBerry coming to T-Mobile this summer; rumour has it the higher-end Touch 9860 (code-named Monza) will also be coming to T-Mobile, specifically on June 29. One other BlackBerry is planned for the carrier over the summer, and considering RIM’s upcoming lineup, there are plenty of options, but the…
RIM’s home-made Podcasts application has been updated to version 1.5, which now takes advantage of Google’s RSS search to find podcasts, and also lets you take a look or listen at your shows as they’re being downloaded over Wi-Fi or 3G. The UI has also been shuffled around a bit so categories have more pronounced…
The BlackBerry PlayBook tablet launched last week in North America, and even though we’ve had six months to stew over the idea of RIM making a tablet, it still seems a little bizarre.
