There is a lot happening with BlackBerry lately–it’s about time. It seems as if BlackBerry has fallen far behind competition in the smartphone race and I was beginning to lose hope. So much so, that I recently (like yesterday) opted to leave the BlackBerry family to join the cool kids over at Android. They seem [...]

BlackBerry Tablet Falling Short
Sigh…this comes as heartbreaking news to me. The reviews for the BlackBerry tablet have come back and let’s just say that these reviews have been less than stellar.

Blackberry Playbook Buzz in the Air
The BlackBerry Playbook is set to come out, officially signaling RIM’s (Research in Motion) entry into the tablet market. The Playbook is supposed to be a main rival to the iPad, however, since Apple owns and develops in-house all the technology that enables the long battery life and superior experience that iPad users enjoy, it will be at least initially difficult for RIM to square off against the giant.

It seems a pretty risky economic move for the world’s largest handset manufacturer to make, especially since many retailers depend on the season to make their yearend budget targets. But Nokia is sticking to quality over the potential or sales this year.
