Another day, another piece of bad news about RIM. This time, however, it has nothing to do with financial results or analysts downgrading their predictions. Today we have a real treat, as a disgruntled high-level RIM employee has penned an unbelievably scathing letter that outlines precisely where RIM is failing, and how things can be [...]

I suppose we should have seen this coming. The struggling company needs to slim down, streamline and focus if they’re to revive their brand. This comes on the heels of a lawsuit from Dolby, Seesmic announcing they won’t be supporting the phones anymore and poor sales of their products, specifically the Blackberry Playbook. The playbook [...]

The app selection for the BlackBerry PlayBook continues to develop every day. Seems more and more developers are jumping in and pushing out new and cool apps for the BlackBerry Tablet OS. I just came across a FREE app talked about by our friends over at CrackBerry (link below) called RIDGID Digital Bubble Level for PlayBook. [...]

Guess what folks, the BlackBerry PlayBook - RIM’s first stab at the tablet niche - is about to go international. RIM has just announced 16 new countries set to receive the device including (but not limited to): Australia, France, Germany, India, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom. Pricing and carrier/partner details have yet to [...]

When the PlayBook launched just over a month ago consumers were shocked to find that two popular applications - Twitter and facebook - were not available for download. They were there, but only as on screen links to web apps. Needless to say, it isn’t easy to get people on board with your product when two [...]

Another day, another bad forecast from an industry analyst; today’s comes courtesy of Matthew Robison with Wunderlich Securities. Robison claims that RIM will lose the consumer appeal it has worked so hard to build over the last few years. Robison was quoted saying: “Our long-term forecast anticipates a role supplying business-oriented devices, both mid-range and high end, [...]

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 [...]

This is exactly the kind of news RIM doesn’t need right now. Approximately 1,000 Blackberry “Playbook” tablet computers have been recalled due to “defective operating software.” Recalls are done all the time but this is a delicate time for the rival of the iPad. We hope that this will not cause the dent in sales [...]

  UPDATE: I truly apologize for my tardiness with this announcement. The winner of the PlayBook Defender case is @pozi240! Thanks to all who entered and stay tuned for more! Otterbox is a name synonymous with strength; you can do practically anything you want to your device with one of their cases on and not [...]

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 [...]
