Google continues to improve its Google Voice app for Android and BlackBerry and the latest update now makes it quicker to dial your contacts. According to Google: Until today, the Google Voice app had to make a request to the Google Voice server every time you wanted to make a call to send us the…
Today must be BlackBerry Leak Day. Already I’ve come across 3 leaked OS’s, and now, I read that a new version of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager has been leaked as well. Goodness. While the leak brings us up to version 5.0.1.40 of BlackBerry Desktop Manager, nothing really appears to be new and notable. It’s suspected…
Good things come in bunches. Grapes, bananas… and BlackBerry OS leaks. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had anything to report on the BlackBerry OS scene. That is, the LEAKED operating system scene. It seems as though we’ve been going through a period of some downtime… Not sure what the reason is for that,…
Research In Motion knows it has a lot riding on the upcoming BlackBerry 6 and the smartphone maker wants you to know this won’t be the same old stodgy BlackBerry. RIM recently showed off some of the multimedia capabilities of its next operating system and these actually look pretty cool. On its blog, the BlackBerry…
Gowalla’s social check-in app for BlackBerry has updated their beta to include commenting on others’ check-ins and photo uploading to spots, along with a few nice keyboard shortcuts. It still seems like they’re hung up on the iPhone’s way of doing notifications of friend check-ins (through obnoxious popups), but maybe someday before 1.0 they’ll discover…
The rather unexciting BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 rumoured to be going to T-Mobile, Verizon, Bell, and Rogers will be finding its way to Vodafone UK around Q3, if this source of this internal document is to be believed. BlackBerry OS 5.0.0.832 has been approved, so it seems unlikely that the Kepler will be launching with…
After a lot of talk about a new BlackBerry Storm, we’re starting to see something at least half-way concrete. If you relax your eyes and squint a bit while staring at this leaked slide, first you’ll see a 3D sailboat, then you’ll see a short spec list including BlackBerry OS 6 and the new Webkit…
The BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 (Kepler) is coming to Rogers. I bet you were wondering when news of this was going to hit, right? Before we talk about it, let’s recap recent goings on. Just yesterday, we told you about the 9300 and how it is making the journey to Bell. A leaked leaflet shows…
The upcoming BlackBerry Kepler spotted on the way to T-Mobile as the 9300 and rumoured to be going to Verizon as the 9330 is apparently coming to Bell in Canada, too. This unreleased Bell leaflet shows the 9300 branded as the Curve 3G, and confirms that it indeed has just as much memory as the…
RIM has just released a new tool for developers (announced back at BBDC) that allows them to incorporate location data in their apps without relying on a GPS unit. This is generally lower-power and faster than GPS, since it’s just pulling on cell tower data that’s already active rather than waiting on a satellite lock.…
