Posted by Dan H. on Sep 12, 2011 | 6 Comments
While companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft have been pumping out new devices with modern features, RIM has been lagging behind. They’ve been saying that they’re bringing QNX to BlackBerry smartphones, but time is ticking away for the Canadian phone manufacturer. RIM responded to this with three new devices running their new OS, BlackBerry 7: the Bold 99xx, Torch 9850/9860, and the Torch 9810.

Posted by CR H. on May 24, 2011 | 9 Comments

Review: BlackBerry PlayBook
Posted by CR H. on May 01, 2011 | 27 Comments
It’s pretty crazy to think that only a little over one year ago Apple introduced the iPad. Previous attempts at tablet computing by numerous companies had been complete failures. But Apple seemed to “get it” with the iPad and took the consumer electronics industry by storm, almost as they had done with the iPhone in 2007. Just as Google responded to the iPhone with Android and more recently Honeycomb on the Motorola...
BlackBerry PlayBook hits the FCC
Posted by Matt P. on Mar 10, 2011 | 1 Comment
Don’t want an iPad(2)? Well looks as if RIM’s tablet is one step closer to hitting retails shelves with this FCC passing. This is just the Wi-Fi only version, so if you’re looking for the WiMAX enabled version it might be a little longer. But as you see, they’ve passed three different variations of it (16GB, 32GB, 64GB). Hopefully now we’ll get some official word soon from RIM about when...
