Some fresh patents from RIM give us an idea of what they could do with the anonymous location and speed data mined from BlackBerry users. Essentially, “adaptive pedestrian billboard system and related methods” and “adaptive roadside billboard system and related methods” enable digital billboards to change their behaviour based on the density of incoming traffic…
A couple of videos that will be loaded on the upcoming BlackBerry Style 9670 clamshell have leaked, showing some basic operations like zooming, home screen navigation, and using the external display. It’s certainly nothing groundbreaking, since we’ve seen BlackBerry 6 run without a touchscreen just fine on the Bold 9700, 9650, and 9780, but the…
Some late night BlackBerry OS leak action for ya, and guess what?… it’s for the almost-brand-new BlackBerry Torch 9800!

It’s not often I get notice of a new official BlackBerry OS on the recommendation of one of our editors fathers… But that’s exactly what happened with this one. The father of our good ‘ol Simon let him know about this one, and Simon passed on the good news to me. Apparently, this one is…
Ladies, need a new case for your trusty old BlackBerry 9000? Not afraid of a little ‘bling’? Is Swarovski your middle name?… and Hello Kitty is all good with you? I have to admit, if you answered YES to all of these questions you’re a unique individual indeed. But I know you’re out there… I…
To butt heads pretty directly with Powermat, Energizer today announced that they’ll have an inductive charging pad and case for the iPhone 3GS and battery door for the BlackBerry Curve 8900 starting in October. The mat is Qi-compliant, which is a standard many cell phone manufacturers are huddling around. Powermat’s learning how to bypass sleeves…
The last we had heard about a general release date of the BlackBerry Bold 9780 suggested October, but a fresh undocumented rumour is pointing to a later release in November for Rogers.
