Amazon to release tablet today?

The internet is buzzing on the possible news of a Amazon tablet to battle the evil Apple iPad but some are hoping for something bigger. Possibly the merger or purchase of netflix, though it's a far fetched idea anything is possible these days. Nothing is for certain but the skies the limit and we shall find out if Amazon is in it to win it today! Leave comments on what you think Amazon has up their sleeves and if you feel it's a game change...

The first RIM Qnx Blackberry!

This one came from left field but I have received reports that this very well could be the Super Blackberry with Qnx. The picture does not give the device justice but does show RIM is being smart about the release of a device that could revamp it's image and especially it's hopes! Could this be the true Superphone all RIM lovers are hoping for Hit the link for your own opinion http://www.blackberrycool.com/2011/09/16/blackberry-bold-9980-porsche-knight-with-qnx-pleas...

BES boss leaves RIM for another company!

Another block taken from the jenga stack known as RIM as of late, the boss of BES (Business Enterprise Security) John Vandermay is leaving the company. This is number 5 in the executive loss pool. Is this one more reason RIM might be sold? Maybe to Google , or HTC who this week said they would be willing to buy their own OS? Either way hit the link below for more info.

Sprint iphone to have an iphone specific data plan!

Per a visit to a local Sprint store I received an interesting tid bit of information. First a confirmation of the rumored iphone coming in October, but it doesn't stop there! When asked about unlimited data plans going away, the rep stated "Apple will have a specific data plan for the iphone on Sprint, but Androids will keep unlimited"! This is a first I've heard of iphone specific data plans but as a Android and a Sprint customer it great news compared to other rumors! This is not confirmed but anything is possible with Apple and especially the iphone. For more info stay tuned to thinktechdaily....

Per several twitter accounts and cnet, the doj (department of justice) is putting a block on one of most hyped acquisition in the tech world.

Samsung ChatON- one more reason RIM is behind!

Group messaging Apps are one the most popular forms of communication as of late in the wake of text rate hikes (which is a horrid abuse of power by the carriers- except for Sprint). But in the wake of the hype of these apps Samsung of all companies is here to save us? Yes Samsung is here with ChatON, a new multi platform group messaging program the likes of Blackberry messenger! It is rumored to be announced at the IFA event overseas. Which all should be happy if it works as well as we hope it will. Now comes the loser in this possibly, RIM and its blackberry messenger. RIM was rumored to introduce Blackberry messenger, it's knight in shining armor, to android this year and iOS early next year. Where you at RIM? If RIM even hopes to save itself you would think this was one thing they should...

Toshiba developing app store and is coming installed on an updated tablet, this October(rumor)!

You read it right folks, Toshiba is working on a app store aside from the android market. This isn't too surprising but what is, is the fact that it's going to come pre installed on a new updated (slim, less bulky, and powerful) tablet. Can this be a Thrive 2 or just an updated tablet in general under a new name? From inside they are really pressing on their team to push it out, which I hope produces a quality product. I can't reveal my sources but trust me it's coming and coming fast! Stay here for more information on the matter, and hopefully it will be priced to compete!...

GroupMe in agreement to be acquired by Skype!

Per GroupMe's Twitter account they announced the following "Exciting news! Today, we have entered into an agreement to be acquired by Skype". This is great news if it means it can grow this multi platform group messenger program. The only concern I have with this is that Skype, who recently was acquired by Microsoft, could just become a Windows Phone only program and kill the potential it has as a Blackberry messenger alternative for the likes of Blackberry, Windows Phone, Android and iOS. I personally use GroupMe and hope it can become a all in one group/video chat client and retain its multi platform nature. Here's to what may be a great app to be.

Google buying Motorola Mobility!

Hello Moto! No matter how you feel about it you have to admit this is big news for the android community. Motorola has been a big part of androids push in the Verizon network and helped pave the way for honeycomb tablets for android. Now before everyone gets a crazy about Motorola understand they are still going to run their mobility department (only the mobility department was purchased) as a separate company.

Sprints BlackBerry Bold 9930 priced $249. 99, WTF?

Really? Is this a failure on Sprint’s side or RIM? You are having problems with consumer markets for your phones and you go and over price a phone with last year's HTC EVO 4G specs higher than even that phone or even an Apple iphone 4? At best this phone should have been priced at $199.99 and even that is above what anyone should pay for a Blackberry but it is the market average for a phone with it's specs. I really RIM to come back but with pricing like this your are begging to get crushed. They buy blackberrys in Canada at these prices but not here especially when they are not even future proof.

All touch blackberry torch coming to Sprint & US Cellular!

*update* Also coming to ATT as well! Hot of the heals of their blackberry event in Toronto, RIM introduces a new blackberry torch (internally new, visually the same) and 2 all touch Torches. One is for ATT and the other for Sprint, but per their blog it does not state the processor power but one can assume it's the same as the new torch at 1.2 ghz single core processor. Is this to little to late, or just in time? Both run the new (kind of) blackberry Os 7, can this compete with likes of android and Apple's iOs?

RIM releases BBM 6 with BB Connected Application support.

Finally a refresh for BBM in the form of BBM 6. This actually is a real refresh but brought some attention to BBM Connected Applications, and I fall back to the rumor of BBM on android/iOS.

One more reason RIM is out of touch!

They when things are bad, only people that truly care will say anything. Well I care about the Blackberry platform but it seems they are set for a date worse than Nokia, closer to Palm. With the recent news of RIM cutting 2k jobs and not trimming any fat from the top I started to lose more hope. Then today's following tweet came out and signs the ship is going down started to show more than ever. "You got it! New #BlackBerry devices are coming w/ our new OS, BlackBerry 7! Check back tmrw 4 deets on #BB7FanNight" What is so sad about this is that they simply are delusional and stuck in the past. From their claims of a "superphone" that have specs of my phone from last year (htc evo 4g) to a new Os 7 (also known as Os 6.5). They just simply don't get it. For lovers of the Blackberry platform...

RIM axes 2000 jobs and more!

In a move that brings sadness but comes as no surprise to the tech world, and RIM is releasing 2000 jobs. This move also includes changes in management that could be the move they've needed, or another sign of RIM's continued decline. Regardless of what you think, RIM is making some moves which in my view may soon lead to a new OS or the adoption of an OS.

BlackBerry PlayBook Android App player leaks!

Well in light of continuous bad news with RIM there seems to be something good for them, and it's from Google. We heard about Blackberry running a Android App player (emulator of sorts) on their playbook tablet. RIM states that they are not interested in using Android, but if this player brings some much (much, much, much) needed sales could they change their tone? Also did I mention it runs gingerbread 2.3.3? Though the app is a little slow at this point I feel there is a chance RIM may use Android (this purely my own guess, not based on facts, just hope). If your interested hit the link below. on Android App Player Leaks for BlackBerry PlayBook, Based on Android 2.3.3 - http://pulse.me/s/MQ...

In a surprising move Samsung acquires RIM's Playbook senior product manager. Surprising since someone wanted something involving Rim and product in the same sentence.

Htc kingdom to be released as the Hero 4G (rumor) ?

In what would be a smart move, the rumored HTC Kingdom that will heading to Sprint has been rumored to be branded as the Hero 4G. As an original Hero owner I feel this is a great move. The original Hero has a great following and was the original android phone for some, including yours truly. The specs read as a 3D less EVO 3D, minus the fact that it is a 756 mb dual core and not 1.2 dual core. I have the Evo 3D and love it but I can see where this is a good spot filler like the htc droid incredible is for the Verizon line up. Things might be getting a lot better at sprint.

RIM Blackberry to be killed by Apple's iOS 5?

With the recent announcement by Apple of iMessage that works across all Apple devices, RIM (maker of the blackberry) should be concerned. Let's be straight about one thing, I actual love.blackberries, I've had 3 in my phone life. Blackberry messenger, and the business sector, are the only things holding RIM afloat. There are rumors of a cross platform Blackberry Messenger coming to android in the fall and then iOS in the first quarter of 2012, but will it be enough? We all can agree that RIM is behind the times but are they a lame duck or can they pull a Sega and go from hardware to software? They have great apps and have that business mind set that could benefit say a Google. The thought of Google purchasing RIM has been whispered since the rumors of Android running on the Playbook.

As we get closer to June, Apple's usual iphone refresh month (Verizon iphone doesn't count) it seems less likely we'll see a new update.

Samsung introduces 2 more galaxy tab tablets!

If the tablet war did not already have to many choices, Samsung would like to introduce you to two more choices. Samsung has introduced the Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 tablets. The 10.1 tablet is thinner than the iPad 2, runs flash, has USB ports, and runs honeycomb 3.0. Don't make any mistakes the 8.9 Tab is also thin. I am still on the fence for a tablet and this just made me lean back towards the Android platform. If you are on the fence or just want to see some new tablets hit the link below. http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/22/samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-and-new-galaxy-tab-10-1-thinner-than-the...

Windows phone 7.....and why they are struggling!

OK let's just get this one out from the get go, Microsoft is making major mistakes with their new Os. They are not meeting their quota's or even expectations with Windows phone 7 and teaming with AT&T as the exclusive carrier just somes it all up. Now let's get into their current issue with updates, but not their cut and paste update, just the update to allow updates. You might be saying "wtf"! Your not alone, I feel for all the Samsung owners, regardless of windows or android (but that's another post in itself). Ok now we have many reasons why the update failed or why the phones were bricked but in any case Microsoft is not helping their case to become a accepted Os alongside Android and iOS.

Will Googles attack against content farms kill upstart tech blogs?

With the recent that Google is going to tackle content farms so that sites create more original content but will it kill other things? I personally write this blog part time because the blog is only a month old but sometimes content is.in reference to other articles, but never plagiarized. But Google's attack will us an algorithm to decide what content is original and what is not, will that kill blogs that are not first to post events? I am in favor of killing content farms but at the same time you may kill free speech for the average part time blogger,also this could hurt blogging sites like blogger, WordPress and many others as what would stop the algorithm from blocking them, the entire site, rather then each site through their service? These are just my views and concerns, I hope Google...

Tablet Wars- Death of the netbook?

The tablets are coming and they are coming with one of the strongest pushes ever! If you say what's a tablet I would just say "where you raised on a farm or living in a cave for the past year". Everyone is bringing a tablet out from Apple, Blackberry, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Toshiba, and even Sony has finally jumped onto the bandwagon. Now with all these tablets coming out I just thought to myself, these little guys can't replace a desktop or a laptop but what about a netbook? I personally own a Asus Eee Pc that my wife and daughter mainly use. They love it but I find that the keyboard is just to flaky to me and I would prefer a touch screen over any day.&nb...

As illustrated in the image (allfacebook), you post something like "the new chicken sandwich at Mcdonalds is great" and if McDonalds is advertising with Facebook they can pull your post and use it as if you left a comment on their Facebook page.

Verizon allowing trade in of At&t apple iphones towards a verizon iphone!

Is this the first shot in Verizon's strategy to take AT&T down? By allowing disgruntled AT&T defectors to trade in their iphone's from AT&T to get a Verizon iphone is a very clear shot to AT&T that "Verizon is here to take your customers". Along with allowing unlimited data right of the bat (of course for a limited time) Verizon is definitely taking the iphone deal serious. So how will AT&T react to these deals? Only time will tell.
