Continuing my regular series of emails about events on at “The O2” (a huge entertainment venue that is sponsored by …. O2!), we have a diverse selection for this week – David Haye, Katie Melua, and Leonard Cohen – not all at once I might add! Personally I’d quite like to check out some boxing,…
Open source not gonna happen for BlackBerry
Here’s a little tidbit I missed out on by avoiding the sessions at the BlackBerry Developer Conference last week… RIM pretty much shot down any hope of the OS source code becoming available to the developer community at large. “We do have an open source management team that is investigating this,” said Cassidy Gentle, a…

In what’s become something of a regular piece for me now, here’s the latest update on who you can see, and when, at everyones favourite entertainment venue, The O2. This week it’s the turn of Soul-legend Lionel Richie, and also Metallica, and Paul Weller. Personally, it would be Lionel all the way for me, but…
BlackBerry Storm Video Playblack
Oh, hey, I guess there was one more goodie left in the BlackBerry Developer Conference bag-o-treats. We’ve got some of the first hands-on video of the BlackBerry Storm that doesn’t involve some kind of advertisement. A lot of the OS is still a work in progress, so it wouldn’t be fair to do a whole…

AT&T BlackBerry Bold pricing and launch date announced
