Not too far behind Telus, Bell has launched RIM’s second flip BlackBerry, the Style 9670. It’s going for $49.99 on a three-year contract, which is not only cheaper than the comparable BlackBerry Torch and Bold 9780, but also beats the Telus Style by thirty bucks. They’re also selling their GPS navigation service for $50 for…
The vast majority of video we’ve seen of the BlackBerry PlayBook has been under fairly controlled circumstances, but we have seen a few less-than-official clips. Another one came out today at a joint RIM/Adobe developer event in New York, and we’ll probably have at least one more video coming from the shindig later today. The…
RIM’s co-CEO Mike Lazaridis showed off the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet yet again for a WSJ conference last night, where he ferociously (and sometimes confusingly) defended the present and future of RIM. From the edited video below and some of the liveblogs, it seems that he was trying to contort canned lines into responses that nobody…
Just a quick BlackBerry OS update here for the Bold 9780 users out there. The best part of this is, it’s an OFFICIAL release, woohoo! OS 6.0.0.359 has dropped for the BlackBerry Bold 9780 from AVEA. The update should pack a somewhat reasonable punch, bumping you up quite a bit from the standard OS build…
Hey mobile app developers, you want a free BlackBerry PlayBook? Yeah, of course you do. Well, if you’ve been taking the last couple of weeks to play around with the AIR SDK for RIM’s first tablet, you can now submit your final work to the BlackBerry App World and get a free PlayBook if it’s…
RIM had announced about a year ago that the BlackBerry App World would allow for in-app purchases, and it looks like they’re going to be implementing the changes necessary for the feature to go live soon. This letter went out to app developers informing them about server upgrades, though RIM notes that a client-side app…
We’ve got another BlackBerry PlayBook video to add to our growing collection. Last week, Rogers announced that they would be carrying the RIM’s first tablet, but they also took some time to give a quick walk-through at their tablet event. The demo was done by David Neale, RIM’s VP of Special Projects, who noted that…
A quick note here for the BlackBerry developers out there. Everyone else, please avert your eyes because this will probably be about as interesting to you as watching paint dry… Anyways, if the devs are still with me, you’ll want to take note that BlackBerry 6 device simulators are now available for the Bold 9650…
Received a note from my friends at SHAPE Services the other day, to let me (and you) know about a new BlackBerry application they’ve launched… Well, truth be told it’s still in beta, but you can easily get in on the beta if you like. Called ‘Photo Translator’, the new app looks to be a…
RIM’s second flip phone, the BlackBerry Style 9670, is available now on Telus for $79.99 on a three-year contract. Telus started recieving dummy units a few weeks ago, and we can only assume that Bell will be offering their Style soon too. The BlackBerry style runs the new version 6 operating system, which includes universal…
