This morning Engadget noticed something funny on the MacMall webpage where they were selling PlayBooks. (Never mind the fact that the place is called MacMall and they’re selling BlackBerry products.) Seems they either have bad photoshoppers or magic pixie dust to make their PlayBooks run Android 3.0! The Engadget post was put up at 2:31am [...]

Today, I connected my Bell Mobility branded BlackBerry Torch 9800 to my computer to grab some pictures off of it and maybe re-install the OS just as a sort of spring cleaning when lo and behold a notification popped up! Seems that the leaked OS v6.0.0.534 (it started circulating the Internet a little over a [...]

I really love this app. With QR codes slowly creeping into our everyday lives, learning how to actually decode them is the biggest learning curve. When you go into your respective devices’ app store to download a reader app, you are bombarded with dozens of them — half of which don’t work properly- and it’s [...]

Well, folks, one thing we don’t have in Canada is a shortage of retail outlets where you can pick up the PlayBook from. That being said, Rogers has just joined the list of places as well.

Available for free, it promises to be a must-have for any hockey fan [...]

This new version takes the app from 1.0.2 which we told you about in late March to 1.0.3. The new version, as you can see above, came with some release notes and a [...]

What do you do when you have a highly anticipated product set to launch in a matter of days — that has received some pretty harsh feedback from reviewers — and your Co-Ceo gets heated in an interview and storms off like he is a child? You go on Bloomberg news and dance around any [...]

  For a company like RIM who prides itself on its proprietary security features, and has — in the past — notoriously cracked down on the unannounced device leaks; they are doing a horrible job at preventing these highly anticipated forthcoming devices from being known. Over the past few months a flood of news pertaining to both [...]

Just released video from the BBC shows RIM (Research In Motion) co-CEO Mike Lazaridis being interviewed by Rory Cellan-Jones, the BBC technology correspondent for the show “Click”. When asked about “problems with security” and “various arguments [RIM has] had with the Indian governments and a number of governments in the Middle East”, Lazaridis looks annoyed and says they have never had a [...]

OK, this totally caught me by surprise and I do not know how I missed it before. Seems last summer, ya I really missed the boat on this one, Gowalla released a beta then a full version of their app for BlackBerry devices.
