Sometimes the best news comes out while everyone is sleeping, and this is a prime example of the validity of that statement. RIM has just announced that their beloved PlayBook is getting the update we have all been waiting for with the OTA release of V1.0.5. One of the most notable mentions with the [...]

Before I get into this review, I’m going to do something I do quite often: take you on a trip down memory lane. Why? Because if you are reading this, you appreciate my writing; and I am a sentimental guy like that. I was raised in a very old fashioned, modest, middle class, Eastern European [...]

One of the first things I looked for and downloaded when I got my PlayBook was a good RSS app that would import my GoogleReader feeds and sync with GoogleReader so when I got back to my computer things I had already read would be marked as such and only new things would be there [...]

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 [...]

Last night I attended MobileMonday Toronto’s April Event: “Developer Ecosystem Discussion – From PlayBook to BlackBerrys”. The event featured Tyler Lessard, VP Global Alliances and Developer Relations at RIM (Research In Motion) giving us a general overview and taking questions as part of audience Q & A about the newest developments around the launch of the Playbook, and BlackBerry Developer [...]

The novelty of the second-generation iPad has barely worn off and now FINALLY BlackBerry die-hards have some bankable information on the much anticipated BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. April 19th, 2011 is the date across the board, with the $499 (16GB), $599 (32GB), and $699 (64GB) price tag as previously reported for both Canada and the US [...]

Many a fan-boy proclaimed that RIM would be “shooting itself in the foot” if it hadn’t yet announced a release date for its upcoming PlayBook by the time Apple launched the iPad 2 this past Friday March 11th. Well, Friday has come and gone and Apple — as many easily predicted — sold well into the millions [...]
