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!

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....

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?

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.

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.

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?

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...

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).

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.

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.

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?

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...

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.
