The last we had heard about the BlackBerry tablet, code-named Cobalt, is that it would have both Wi-Fi and 3G, but according to rumours from the Wall Street Journal, it might just piggyback on a BlackBerry smartphone’s internet connection, presumably via Bluetooth. This wouldn’t be entirely uncalled-for, since the early rumours pitched the tablet as…

The FlightView BlackBerry travel app has been updated with Storm compatibility. It’s a pretty neat app that lets you look up flight maps for specific routes, and watch your progress of planes in the air, so you know just how close your friends are to landing.

BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider to be Renamed to Torch?
Although it’s been spotted clearly with Bold branding, the upcoming BlackBerry 9800 slider may get a whole new family of its own, called Torch.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg Skips BlackBerry, iPhone, Going Android
Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Facebook page let slip his feelings for BlackBerry, iPhone, and Android, a particularly touchy subject given Facebook’s involvement with all of those mobile platforms.

BlackBerry Pearl 3G (9100 and 9105) Coming to India
With multiple Indian carriers now set to roll out 3G service, I was wondering how long it’d take for the Peark 9100, aka the BlackBerry Pearl 3G to make its appearance in the country. Turns out it didn’t take as long as I thought. RIM has made it official via press release that the Pearl…

BlackBerry OS Roundup for Saturday, June 12th
Every Saturday (or maybe Friday 🙂 ) here at IntoMobile, I’m going to make a point of updating BlackBerry users with a roundup of the latest BlackBerry OS leaks and official updates. Instead of posting every once and awhile with a leak here, and an official update there, I figure it may be more helpful…
Quickie: BlackBerry App World Updated to Version 1.1.0.35
BlackBerry App World aficionados, time for a quick update notice for ya. Looks like App World was updated overnight, and we’re now sitting at version 1.1.0.35. Interestingly enough, as I check it, the download is available through the BlackBerry website… but not the App World client itself. One can only assume it’s a matter of…
